As a hot
snack or
meal,
top ramen is a
cheap-ass means of filling up one's
stomach quite nicely. Neoguri is a
seafood flavored
Korean ramen characterized by thicker
udon-style
noodles, bits of
vegetable,
seaweed, and
shellfish (all included in a
dehydrated seasoning packet), and an incredibly spicy
soup base. Averaging $.59 per
package, neoguri not only is light on the
wallet, but is also worth every
cent. Be forewarned that the level of spiciness
ranks quite high (as are most
Nong Shim brand
ramen). A novice ramen
consumer might find the overall spiciness a bit overwhelming, but more experienced eaters could consider the amount of hotness just about right. Ramen is usually prepared by pouring
boiling water in a
bowl with the contents of the package, covering the bowl with a lid, and setting it for abour 5 minutes. An
alternate preparation method would be using the
stove (which is what I usually do).
Other super-spicy noodles from Nong Shim include Shim Ramyun, a mushroom flavored ramen; and Champong Noodle, squid flavored ramen with a picture of a cartoon squid in an apron participating in the destruction of its own species.
