Samyang Instant Ramen Noodles, Halal Certified, Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken Flavor 4.93 Ounce (Pack of 10)

So cheesy and the perfect spice… Love them!

I’ve been wanting to try these for a while, didn’t think to look on Amazon though so I kind of stumbled upon these down a shopping rabbit hole. Needless to say, I read the (bad) reviews carefully before I actually bought them. They made me a bit apprehensive but I decided that it was worth the risk. I wasn’t a prime member on trial when I ordered these, but they still came sooner than I thought they would. I’ve since tried them…and I think they’re lovely. And I’d like to address some of the bad reviews I’ve read on these: Firstly, mine came in great condition, not a one broken sauce pack or crushed ramen. But I also had a bunch of other stuff shipped with them and there was a ton of bubble wrap, so maybe that had something to do with it? Second, me personally I don’t think they’re “too spicy”. I’m so used to spice that spicy foods kind of plateau and don’t really get spicier than a certain level but these are still pretty hot, I am glad to say BUT if you don’t wait for them to cool down you may confuse hot-°F for hot-spicy and will burn tf out of your mouth-not in the good way. So “wait for the steam to abate” hahaa or don’t get them if you know you suck at taking spice (and if you do anyways for the fun of it, don’t bi*ch about them being too spicy. Just saying). Third, as for flavor and noodle quality, these are NOT at all like the americanized oodles of noodles you and I are used to having. The first thing I noticed When I took my first bite was not the spice but how they’re not salty. Not saying they lack salt but I’m used to pack noodles being LOADED with salt, so much so that if u like them less soupy, you can’t use the whole seasoning pack. With these, the whole seasoning pack gets used on very little water so you don’t really have the soupy option- fine by me. Also, cooking then for less time (like I always do with American ramen b.c I like a firmer noodle) isn’t recommended. If you want my advice, follow the directions carefully the first time and THEN make your personal tweaks. I see people cooking them for less time than they’re supposed to b.c the think they “like a firmer texture” and then complaining about noodle quality. These noodles are made with tapioca so yes, they’re chewy and thicc and must be cooked their whole 5 min, then 30 sec. When I did this, they came out perfectly and the taste didn’t disappoint- very unlike the assembly line-sodium packed taste I’m used to 🙂 but I still felt like they were missing something. Not flavor, but other stuff… The second time I tried it (and added my personal tweaks) I put in some leftover chicken and broccoli stir fry I’d made and my noodles were transformed. My boyfriend, who had previously declined to try them before, tasted them that time said (and I quote) “Those are really good”, this coming from a man whose top praise for food is a rare “Delicious”. Getting a “Those are really good” from a food that came in a package and that is not a steak dinner/ home cooked meal is also pretty rare from him. I think they’re totally worth buying, they’re so unlike any other pack noodle I’ve ever gotten- my tongue and stomach doesn’t go numb from the salt after I ate them, and they mix VERY well with meats and vegetables- also unlike typical instant ramen which makes anything you add taste weirdly artificial- it’s almost like.. real food. Like something I’d order from a Chinese food restaurant. I rarely eat ramen but sometimes I crave it for some reason, I’m always disappointed and I go back to not eating them for months and months…that won’t be a problem anymore b.c I will never be eating American ramen again😂 I am so glad I bought these and Will be getting them from now on.

I like spicy foods, but this has that certain type of spice that leaves a bad after taste. I don’t know if people know what I’m talking about, but I have noticed certain spicy food have a bad after taste. I’m not talking about the burning but a certain bitterness. There are certain spices that leave a good taste behind not this one. Other than that It’s quite sweet and pretty good. I expected it to be more cheesy tho

I love these noodles. The cheese flavor is great, but much more spicy than the creamy carbonara!

Eat in moderation!

They’re spicy but I love them. I little more cheese would be awesome 👌
