| Comments: Noodles - The noodles here were ramen, which are typically thin and often soft. However, unlike other brands of ramen, the noodles of Samyang Foods were soft, but not mushy. It did not have the same chewiness as saimin, but had the consistancy of something more like vermicelli. Soup - I should place a disclaimer at the start, for fairness. I tried the liquid sauce in the soup packet, in it's concentrate form, and was absolutely blown away by it! It was just a taste, maybe a drop or two, but the flavors were rich and full. It tasted like a perfect balance of salty black bean paste and spicy go chu chang (Korean red pepper paste). As a result, when added to the water I felt this wonderful little packet lost some of it's magic. For anyone thinking about making it, I think if you are making it for one, reduce the amount of water to 10 oz. so the broth ends up like a kim chee soup, in the end. Or strain the noodles after they're cooked and toss them with the sauce, eating it dry. I am salivating just thinking about it! Overall - Noodles and soup OK. Soup packet incredible! |

Preparation Method: 1) Boil 20 oz of water (2 and 1/4 cups) 2) Add noodles and cook for 4 minutes. 3) Remove pot from burner and add soup mix. 4) Stir well and eat. Factoid: Yeoulmu (also spelled yeolmu) means young radish. Bibim means having a mixture of assorted vegetables and meat. One classic Korean dish is bibimbap which is rice with a mixture of a lot of vegetables, a little meat and sometimes a raw egg. Bibim myon is the same concept as bibimbap, except instead of using rice, noodles are used. Note that with the instant noodle version of bibim myon, you only get the noodles and soup base-- you have to add your own vegetables and meat, |
