Testing The Best Instant Ramen 2024

[@SimRacingVeteran]

I just discovered the Indomie mi goreng, I’ve become obsessed with this brand. I cook some mushrooms in a separate frying pan, add some dumplings and some onion, jalapeño pepper add a bit of PHO broth. Let that cook, get the noodles going. Just before the noodles are ready, I add the flavour packets to the stuff in the frying pan. Top up the pho broth a bit then when the noodles are ready they go in the frying pan to mix it all together. Add a fried egg to the top then top with green onions and some avocado and BAM a bowl of wickedness.

If you like regular Shin ramen, try their vegetable version. It's the right amount of spice (not too much, not too little) and it's just so good with a splash of milk, melted cheese and vegetable toppings. My personal twist is adding stir fried tempeh on top, the texture and taste is that of pork crackling.

[@namesake8765]

I had it years back. Normally, I won't go for veg instant noodles but everything was sold out. Was pleasantly surprised by how it turned out.

[@mr.fantasticbaby1831]

Never get tired eating the Mama noodle pork flavor since my childhood even snack it for afternoon . Or simple light lunch . Thanks for awesome videos !

[@Tonyc_1987]

Shin Black is where it's at. Solid video. Shin Black has that extra 'bone broth bullion' which does lift the taste. Also adding fresh vegetables and hot pot (thin) pork or beef turns it into a serious meal. Love it

[@r0ck_fr3sh]

The delicious Bibimen HAS to be be eaten cold, the taste it totally different cold and add sliced cucumbers!! and why did you not test the CurryMee white penang??? That's one of my top 5!!

I agree with you on the shin black, but for the Jin ramyun you gotta try the jinn jompong ramen. It’s 🔥 fire.

[@hesutia]

Jin Jjampong is SO GOOD

[@Akeche]

4:55 I've got a question about the directions, cause maybe I messed up somewhere. I followed them same as you did, but I found the noodles came out tasting bad like they weren't cooked enough. Cooking them in boiling water on the stove after that and they turned out great. The bowl I used was a microwave safe plastic, the covering was the metal lid to my saucepan. I'd consider trying it again in a ceramic bowl with a plate cover, but they tasted so good the second time I kinda don't wanna waste them. Also these aren't the cheapest, at least not how I buy them. I grab a 30-pack of Indomie off Amazon for $18, whereas the Mama noodles was a 24-pack for $27! Maybe I just got lucky finding a good seller for the Indomie.

[@nikip9161]

That was a tasty list. 😋 👍

[@kwokspots]

All were delicious

[@larrycanupp411]

Shin Black (Bone Broth) makes you realize that you can get what you pay for - a little pricy for instant, but you will taste the difference.

[@anon19086posts]

Bibimmen is definitely better cold, with a little sausage on the side Indomie stir fry with veggies and beef is absolutely fantastic And samyang carbonara and jjang with extra cheese is my occasional guilty pleasure. Ramen is amazing

[@Sushigirl-s5b]

Indo-Mie is my favorite, although I haven't tried a lot of different brands. Just now I added the left over Indian Butter Chicken with peas I had and it turned out very good. Indo-Mie is real hot and spicy just like I like it. Didn't even have to add my usual red pepper flakes. Thanks for showing us the different ones out there.

[@manalittlesis]

7:06 i believe the instructions tell you to separate the soup is because you can eat it as dry version or put your preferable amount of soup OR you can just drink it as a soup. The soup definitely not for dipping the noodles. Also the noodle you having is not the type of noodle like zaru soba or tsukemen where you dip the plain unseasoned noodle into the sauce.

[@JerKon8]

What happened to the white Penang curry mee??

[@r0ck_fr3sh]

i am wondering the same, it's one of my faves!

[@nunyabizniz1983]

I love the neoguri one of my faves. My favourites have to be the creamy buldak ones like the original carbonara, creamy carbonara and rose. The laksa ones are really good too and creamy. Indomie are always a good go to though. Unpopular opinion… I don’t like shim but my daughters love it.

[@CP-mb7ly]

Try Neoguri with shrimp broth! (Cook raw shrimp with salt, save the water) It's a game changer

[@SuperCripple]

Shin Black is well worth the price. I just found out there's a Shin Gold (chicken) now, and I'm excited to try it. Also, sachet is pronounced "sa-shay".

[@Nobody-knows2]

Gold is my favorite by far

[@tnductai]

la mian curry is literally my most favorite instant noodle, healthy noodle, ingredients are top tier (maltodextrin is the only bad one). you can get a pack of 4 at $3-4 per packet. totally worth it imo.

[@Milovely]

la Mian has the best quality, it's funny how it is the last one

[@roninkmh7625]

Same here dude I just tasted the nong shim black and it's no where near the close to the laksa. Also mi goreng is way too sweet.

[@picanha694]

you need to wash the bibim men with ice cold water first before you mix with the sauce. it needs to be served cold.

[@RARufus]

Love the Buldak Carbonara and the Nongshim Shin ramens! I prefer the Shin Black, but the price has gotten out of hand so I do the standard spicy Shin. I'll have the try some others I've not had before and give them a shot. Great video!!

[@남민석-h7f]

It is said that you can eat Bibimmyeon warm, but absolutely, it is much much better to eat it cold.

[@cdburner2548]

My favorite right now is probably Neoguri, with an egg & some imitation crab sticks dropped in....really amazing.

[@Chi_Chi34]

Nothing beats Shin Black with their amazing bone broth. Coworkers always ask what I'm eating, and where to get it. 😋

[@elisazouza]

Indomie noodles are so goood with garlic chilli oil ❤

[@omara9205]

Neoguri is my goto brand, but i look for the sales. I add Ramen Toppings and egg to mine. I need to try the Buldak because the noodles look interesting.

[@dduk8926]

for the bibimyeon, I highly recommend giving the noodles a wash with cold (icy) water and then add the sauce. Bibimyeon in general is meant to be eaten cold.

[@pinkpastelhearts]

im always going to stay with my shin ramyun black, thats my favorite ramyun in the world, i wish i could stock up on it, but it's ridiculous that it's like $8 for 4 packages of noodles.

Nissin beef favour was the one that I grew up on, the first instant noodles I remember eating when I was a little kid, until now when I make it for my nephew :) its a family tradition!

[@roséiswine8294]

Nissan Oodles of Noodles was my first experience with ramen back in the 80's and I have been in love ever since. When he ate the noodles, then said they taste like "childhood" I thought the same thing! Oodles of Noodles got discontinued so I switched to Maruchan. Now I eat Mama noodles.

[@mjs6767]

You just totally described me! Oodles of Noodles was my go to after school in the 80s. Then moved onto Maruchan and now I love Mama noodles.

[@minnicola]

Bibimen got done a dirty there, they have to be cold for sure 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@girlieee_c]

The king is Nissin Raoh Tonkotsu. The basic equivalent of hakata noodles with a rich broth. Add the egg and a few slices of chashu, and you've got restaurant quality.

[@previnsnaidu1]

The indomie mi goreng pedas is the best by far. I eat it with some chicken, sautéed shallots, green onions and top it with chili crisp, it's incredible, but also is fucking awesome just accordign to package instructions too

[@BrotherKyler]

Need to do the Laksa from Prima Taste. Best instant noodle on the market, and not too expensive on Amazon.

[@nickl6362]

Fully agree! I always just an extra splash of soy as I find it's missing a hint of salt

[@generaljohnson]

I can't believe you didn't review the ibumie Penang White Curry - that is one of the ones in your initial picture of noodle packages. It's probably better than the other noodles you reviewed. You also should have reviewed MyKuali Penang White Curry - that is amazing too. Also, you should try Ibumie Mi Goreng Kari (Curry) Kapitan - that is the best Ibumie noodle.

[@linagayyy]

0:31 umm are those noddles expired? It ask 2022 on there

[@jz261]

Instant ramen doesn't expire, the date is there as a guideline as to when food might go bad. Even canned food has expiry dates but can be stored indefinitely.

[@OG_Garroth]

Nice video, but putting the Laksa last??? I get they are pricey, but that's because it is so good! Very surprised.

[@barryward6632]

How bad ( or good) are these noodle packs for us healthwise?

[@picanha694]

maximum eat only once a day. the sodium is crazy high and it contains soybean oil which is dangerous for you.

[@thepiratepenguin4465]

If you can get Maggi Durban curry, you should try it. It is the most popular noodle flavour in South Africa.

[@dav1dw]

the noodle prices seem a bit high. What you live in San fran or something?

[@BomberFletch31]

Nissin is what I grew up with too. And as I have next to zero spice tolerance (Nando's Lemon & Herb is too spicy for me), a lot of these noodles are off my shopping list. So it's Nissin or bust for me!

Shin red is spicier without the bone broth packet to temper it haha, half packet is fine, would also recommend mixing a large egg in to make it creamier. With shin black I don't feel the need to do so but it still greatly enhances the flavor

Aww man...for Prima Taste, it's the LAKSA one you wanna try. The curry one, is curry. Nothing special. The seafood and complex broth of the Laksa flavor is bomb. Also, if you liked Neoguri, try their stir-fry seafood version (it's dry). It's stupid good.

My favorite is Chicken Sapporo Ichiban. Add green peas to or other veg while it's cooking, then put two samosas on top and add really hot sauce ( I use the hottest habanero or carolina reaper pepper sauce). It's the best when the somosa stuff starts mixing with the noodles.

[@SuperSaiyanScandinavian]
