Shin Ramyun is great until it gave me ulcer. But i've healed now and enjoy Nugoori with the little racoon dude. Thicker noodles that are awesome al-dente with just the right amount of soup water.

Also, gotta give props to Moopa-Ma... which is like 100 won more expensive but it's the rolls royce of ramyun hahaha.

i remember reading someone's thesis on how instant ramyun as food for the adjushi masses was the true stimulant for Asian Tigers economic ascendancy in the latter half of the 20th century.
Are you sure it was Shin? I read the vast majority of ulcers are viral.
Could be right about the economic impact.

I am sorry, but ramyun has got to be one of the grossest foodstuffs around.


Are you kidding me?

My favorite is the ramyun in Budaechigae or Shabu Shabu. I like to get a side of Ramyun for Kimchi Chigae too.

One of the best meals I've ever had in Korea was at GS25. It was raining, I didn't have an umbrella. I went into the GS25. I got me the big SHin Ramyun bowl, a couple smoked eggs, Bokum kimchi, and a stick of mozarella string cheese.

Cooked the shin ramen bowl noodles and dropped the entire stick of string cheese in it. Opened up the bokum kimchi, cracked open the smoked eggs and went to town. Delicious.

There was a documentary on TV a long time ago about this old guy that ate nothing but Shin Ramen for two decades. He was in his late 60s but was, believe it or not, extremely healthy. Of course, no one kept track of his every meal so there's no way of proving it but when they showed his house, it was basically box after box of shin ramen. He'd add a ton of different things to his ramen though so there was a moderate amount of variety in his diet....

My favorite is Shin Ramen with some cut up shitaki, broccoli, any left over meat, egg, and some mozzarella. Before I cook the noodles or boil the water, I put some sesame oil in the pot and brown some garlic and hot pepper flakes. Then I promptly add hot/boiling water to it and toss in all my vegi/meats. I like my noodle al dente so I cook the noodle for only about a minute. I like to add my egg and cheese 30 seconds prior to removing from the heat. This method took me years to perfect and I am gladly passing on this info to those who wish to taste a little piece of heaven. Cheers

I am not kidding, pkang. Ramyun is gross... not to mention that it is extremely fattening and full of cholesterol and will clot up your veins.

The only time I have anything related to ramyun is to use only the noodles and not the soup powder. I make my own chicken soup to go with the noodles for my daughter and she likes that.

I can't read Korean, but I really doubt it's full of cholesterol. It seems to be lacking in the animal-product department.

Shin remen:

http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-nong-shim-shinramyun-i109524

Cup noodles:

http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-cup-noodles-ramen-noodle-i6582

Supposedly NO cholesterol, but it is high in saturated fat, which, according to this website: http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-cup-noodles-ramen-noodle-i6582

raises blood cholesterol.

Cholesterol or not cholesterol, every single one of the 4 items discussed there received either a D or a D- for their nutritional value, thus making it BAD.

I am not here to judge - you indulge if you so wish. Keep eating. I just dislike it.
