| Comments: Noodles - I don't know what it is, but all the ramen I've tried does not really appeal to me all that much. I prefer my noodles to be thick and chewy, whereas most ramen are thin and soft. This is just my preference, though. My sister, who ended up eating the majority of the bowl for her snack, said she really liked the noodles and that it was a lot better than the noodles that come in those styrofoam bowls. Soup - Pieces of green onion, carrots and kim chee (won bok variety) were in the soup base. The flavor had moments where a seafood essence appeared, but the majority of the time it tasted like watered down kimchee broth with undertones of mushroom. Overall - Again, I am not a soft noodle type of person. This parallels my preference in tofu, too. However, I thought Nong Shim's Kimchi Ramyun was average in quality in taste. Certainly worth a try if you like kim chee flavored soups, or have not tried kim chee at all. |

Preparation Method: 1) Boil 19.5 oz of water (just a little under 2 and 1/3 cup) 2) Add noodles, base and vegetable mix . Cook for 3 minutes. 3) Transfer hot noodles to a bowl. 4) Stir well and eat. Factoid: Kimchi is one of the things that Westerners identify with Korea. It is a unique fermented vegetable dish that is served with every meal in Korea. Despite its pungent smell and spicy taste, kimchi is very nutritious and healthy. Here in Hawaii, we spell kimchi as kim chee and ramyun as ramen. |
