Snack ramen eh? Well let’s see what this one is like. I think it’s ‘snack’ as it only takes the 2 minutes instead of three and has only one seasoning packet. Here we go.

So thought it would be nice to spice it up a bit and modify some Korean noodles for breakfast. So I picked the basis to be the Ottogi Jin Ramen.

So the new place I found, Boo Han Oriental Market, is really making me happy already. Looky here, looky here – curry ramen!

Look at those big deadly looking red peppers! This should be interesting. Usually stuff you’d find around here domestically would be on the weak side if it had a pepper being shown. We’ll have to see if this stuff lives up to the flavor of hot taste! I’m also very curious if I like this better than Shin Ramyun. I’ve really been enjoying the Ottogi products…

So look what we have here – plain ramen noodles! Yup – that’s it. A brick of noodles with no spices.

Another package of Korean ramen. This looks interesting – Miso flavor…

This is a trip – both are powder packets. I usually see a powder and an oil but rarely two powders.

So look! More Korean noodles! Let’s see what we’ve got here! Certainly looks interesting but I have no idea what it is. Black bean paste is mentioned prominently in the ingredients, so perhaps that’s the flavor? Upon digging around a bit, I found this from Wikipedia:

A lot of people have been commenting on my old reviews of Korean noodles. So After going to a couple big Korean supermarkets, I’m going to be trying a lot more Korean instant noodles. This one looks straightforward: spicy seafood.

So we went to a new place today called H Mart – more on that later! So this is something weird from Korea I just has to try – however, it wasn’t really weird at all!

Ottogi: Jin Ramen – Hot Taste
Stars: ***
Notes:This is quite good – the noodles are pretty garden variety, but there’s a nice quantity of them. I made the noodles as per the instructions on the package, but I drained a good portion of the water off before putting them in my bowl, adding the hot flavor soup base and the veggies. I put a single fried egg on top and voila! A good, robust and filling bowl of ramen. Tasty stuff! Get it here.
