 Best spicy noodle on the marketJun 27, 2009
By Erwen L. Tang
Although this noodle is the "default" according to my Korean friend, I believe it is the best spicy noodle on the market. It is VERY spicy for those that are not accustomed to spicy food. If you have not tried this noodle before, I'd recommend using only half the chili powder packet. Then adjust as necessary for later meals. I've been eating this noodle for years and years. The recipe that I normally use is:
1 egg
Chinese green onions (chopped)
lemon juice
sesame oil
Bring water to a boil with the noodle in a pot. Then pour out the water and run cold water over the noodle. This cleans the noodles of the materials left over from the manufacturing process. Set noodle aside. Then bring filtered water to a boil with both ingredient packets. It takes several minutes for the dried vegetables to hydrate. Put noodles back in. Add 3-4 drops of lemon juice and 1-2 drops of sesame oil. Add the green onions. Stir. Break the egg over the top of the noodles. Make sure your hands are dry to avoid steam burns! Wait until the egg white turns from translucent to white. Serve over large bowl. Break the egg and allow the yolk to run over the noodles. YUM!

Spicy!Nov 12, 2007
By Daniel Landis
If you enjoy spicy foods, I think you will greatly enjoy these noodles. Honestly the most delicious instant noodles I've ever tasted. I've been a fan ever since I first discovered them about 7 years ago, and I'm glad I've finally found a place to easily buy them from. I hope Amazon continues to stock Shin Ramyun for spicy food lovers to enjoy.

One of the best 'ramen' out there. Great as a base for a quick meal.May 07, 2009
By Rick V
"Bargain hunter by day, shopaholic at night"
An Asian friend of mine introduced these Nong Shim Spicy noodles (beef flavor) to me and I was hooked from day 1.
I love spicy and these are SPICY.
You get 2 bags of condiments: one is the red Cayenne, beef flavor and spice mix (contains MSG, fyi) and the other is dried chopped vegetables (including chinese mushroom flakes that sweel in the cooking cycle).
Preparation: Boil water (determine how watery you want it), add condiments, and noodles (round shape, perfectly fits a small pan). Before the noodles get soft switch off the heat and let it sit for 2 minutes and enjoy.
That is not how we eat it though: when not in the mood to cook a big meal or when we have left over meat or vegetables we will boil them into this (peas, cauliflower, chicken... hotdogs..) Sky is the limit.
Pros:
- Famous Nong Shim noodles taste great (we always have a box in the house)
- You can turn it into a full meal with leftovers
- Plenty spicy
- Not the thin ramen but Korean style thicker ones. Great mouth feel if not cooked too soft.
- Nice chopped vegetables in the condiments
- Larger per meal than the regular icky ramen that people buy for 30c a piece (ewww)
Cons:
- Contains MSG
- Some people become gassy from these (Amazon has good deals on Beano)
- The Seafood and other versions of these are HORRIBLE tasting. Make sure you get the red box beef flavored spicy ones.

 Only Two Tastes - Salt and Red Pepper - yet I like it. Add an egg and it really improves. Unfortunately it is far from healthySep 22, 2009
By Opinunated
Don't under estimate the appeal of salt and cayenne (red) pepper for many "soup lovers" and reviewers. That includes me. I certainly like this soup - but I'm under no illusions - it is far from healthy and it only has two flavors.
Candidly, this is nothing more than a watery Noodle Soup with lots of Red Pepper and a tremendous amount of salt. If you add an egg --- it can taste even better. Chop up some scallion and it further improves.
There is nothing terribly impressive about this soup YET, as I said, I like It. This dry soup mix consists of a large packet of noodles (essentially tasteless yet ladened with 500 calories of saturated fats) and two much smaller packets. One of these small packets contains less than a tablespoon of chopped dried vegetables and the other is a "spice" packet consisting largely of salt, msg and red (cayenne) pepper.
Add some water and you have 2 1/2 cups of soup.
Impressions: Beyond the watery base (there are no thickeners), my first impression was that of salt followed ---- after a few more spoonfuls -- of the emerging heat of cayenne pepper. As is typical with cayenne pepper, the heat builds up on the palate over time. Some might call this soup "medium hot" but for many I'd imagine they would call it "very hot". However, it easy to adjust the heat level - just add less of the salt/spice packet.
But the only real tastes here are those of salt and cayenne pepper. The noodles are essentially tasteless and the vegetable packet is so small that it can add nothing more than visual appeal. However, I'll say it again, don't under estimate the appeal of salt and cayenne pepper!
This soup can be greatly improved by cracking an egg into the mix and stirring it in during the last minute of boiling. The egg not only adds a much needed third taste but also thickens the soup considerably. I was quite surprised how much an egg improved this soup. Make no mistake - adding an egg really changes the character of the soup.
At the [...] I paid - with shipping - for a case of 20 -- this soup was a good value.
I'd give this soup 3 or 4 stars with an egg but I'm a bit biased toward anything "hot". Maybe 3 stars with an egg is most appropriate and 1 or 2 stars is more accurate for this soup without an egg?
HEALTH WATCH: One packet of this soup provides almost 90% of an individual's daily allowance of salt!!!!! That is a stunning amount of SALT. Plus this soup has 40% of the daily allowance of SATURATED fats (thanks to the palm oil used to fry the noodles). With almost 500 calories, you'll be adding a few inches to your waist line if you eat it regularly. It is shame the company choose palm oil to fry its noodles in (presumably to save a few cents) and added so much salt. It makes this soup needlessly unhealthy. It is, in fact, a poster child for all that is wrong with processed foods. I have to add the ingredient list is truly frightening with a long list of chemicals - far more than is typical - even in processed foods. This is probably not a soup anyone should serve more than once a month. View this soup as equivalent to a bag of potato chips, no more or less healthy. Of course, adding an egg to the mix, just makes this soup less healthy.
Another HEADS UP - some of the reviews on Amazon strike me as a bit suspect: There are a number of 5 star reviews generated by One Time ONLY Amazon reviewers. Once these "reviewers" have promoted this company's product - they never publish another review. I've seen this same pattern, time after time, for all the other soups made by this particular company.
Finally, everyone should keep in mind how hard it is to believe that any dried soup with a tiny "flavor packet" could ever rate 4 or 5 stars among people that have a serious love of soup. Consider too, the simple fact that very few of the soup's ingredients are even readily identifiable as a "food".
My thanks to the previous reviewers who suggested adding an egg. It made a world of difference
THIS SAME SOUP IS SOLD in CASE LOTS OF: 20 PACKAGES, 30 PACKAGES or 40 PACKAGES. ALL OF WHICH ARE LISTED SEPARATELY ON AMAZON. The prices differ on a package by package basis too. Generally the 30 pack, which ships for free, is the better value.

Gives Ramen a more respectable name.Oct 10, 2009
By John Snell
I ate a lot of Top Ramen in college, as every poor student does. But I actually liked it and continue to make it today. I had a bunch of it in my pantry. Then friends turned me on to this stuff.
If the only Ramen you know is what you had when you were broke, you MUST give this a try. It's unbelievably good.
