Reddit reviews Nongshim Shin Black Noodle Soup, Spicy, 4.58 Ounce (Pack of 10)

Can anyone compare these to NongShim Black? I just recently discovered those from a different reddit thread and think they're amazing and just wondering how the flavor of these compares. Particularly the flavor and heat level of the broth.

If you haven’t, try the black package. It’s seriously like a step further into deliciousness that is shin ramyun. I bought a 10-pack on amazon and finished it in like a week because it’s so, so good.

Edit: here is what it looks like

It's easily the best instant ramen. I recently discovered that Nongshim makes a "premium" variety called Shin Black, but it's somewhat rare. I found some at the Asian market. It's like $1.75 a pack, which is sort of ridiculous for instant ramen, but it's amazing. Comes with two flavor packs instead of one, and the vegetables are bigger.

I toss in a couple cubes of tofu braised in a Gochujang/soy sauce/sesame oil mixture, or crack an egg directly into the broth. Great hangover food.

> Tom Yum Goong

Mmmm....... Love me some Tom Yum.....

I actually regularly make a fake Tom Yum using Tom Yum paste and NongShim Shin Black Noodle Soup

Just make the noodles as if you were making Ramen Noodles, including all the spice packets and what not that come with the noodles, add fresh cilantro, basil, and green onion, fresh jalapeno slices, and purple onions. I also cook up some small meatballs made from hamburger and throw in but you could use any meat.

Turns a package of noodles into a frigging meal.

Two of my go-tos are

White Curry

And (of course) Shin Black

Ramen fans should also try Shin Black.You'll never go back, I swear. Top notch ramen.

I usually slice up and pre-sauté some onion, garlic and mushrooms in the pot the ramen will be boiled in, with a bit of butter or toasted sesame oil and a splash or two of rice wine. When that's close to done I'll crack an egg or two in there and let it cook. When the egg is done you just add the water and cook the noodles. You can alternately add the egg when the noodles are boiling if that's more your thing. Takes about 10 minutes total, very worth the effort.

Shin Black has great seasonings already, but for standard ramen I'd also add chili garlic sauce to spice it up.

Hey man, I'm really sorry for your loss.

Not that this should be a daily meal, but if you like ramen...
Find Shin Black at a store/online
Cook as instructed but add:

• Kraft single slice stirred into the broth
  
• Cracked egg into hot broth at end (or soft boiled egg)
  
• Sliced green onions on top (buy 1 bunch and keep in a glass with some water by a window...they will last/grow forever if you change water every so often)
  
• Bacon / sliced & fried spam / pulled pork / leftover meat on top
  
  For cheap meat, pork butt (shoulder) can be really cheap. Buy a hunk and either:
  
  
• cook it in a slow cooker, look up kahlua pork. Shred & use in tacos, quesadillas, pulled pork sandwiches w/bbq sauce and pickled red onions (also cheap & easy to make & delicious), soup...can freeze extra
  
• pork adobo
  
• chop into portions & put what you don't need in a ziplock, try to squeeze out air, and freeze for another day
  
  Grab veggies on sale, chop up, toss with oil, roast in your oven - simple and often delicious
  
  Don't be afraid to freeze food (raw or cooked) for another day! Just google if you aren't sure with a certain food.
  
  By the way - it's totally possible to eat well without spending a lot, and if you have the time/energy to embrace cooking, do it. It can be hard to do when alone, but it also can be a truly enjoyable hobby. For example, you can try perfecting an omelette every morning for breakfast, or make a lot of interesting Chinese/Indian/etc recipes with cheap ingredients but a ton of flavor. As other commenters mentioned, it might take a bit to build up your pantry, but spices and many ingredients will last you ages. Good luck to you!
  

Not really. Long story short, I had to go on Amazon to get nutritional information.

Beef Maruchan has a smaller serving size of 43g while Shin Black has a larger serving size of 65g.

Product|Calories|Fat|Sodium|Carbs|Protein
:--|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:
Maruchan Beef|190|7g|790mg|26g|4g
Shin Black|280|9g|920mg|43g|7g

Shin has slightly more iron and more calcium, but that's about it.

After all, they're both fried noodles with bouillon. I used to add stuff to Maruchan to give it an extra pinky, but they're both not good for you.

Lately, I've been adding dried seaweed to Shin Black for some more micronutrients.

I gotchu fam here's the gateway drug Or if your bold and can do a bit more spicy these are top tier I wouldn't say either of these are crazy spicy like comedy show make your mouth flame but they are hot. As long as you can stand a bit of hotsauce you should be fine. Now go forth and preach the gospel of shin bowls.

Here are my 3 favorite brands. I think you should be able to find them at Seafood City.

I add whatever I have on had. I have jars of fried shallots, fried onion, and pork floss. I usually will quickly boil an egg and let it sit in soy sauce for a while. I also almost have green onions on hand and they get chopped up and added. Gochujang is a good spicy add-in too.

"Way over spot?" I hope wasn't more than a buck or two over spot. Those are Sunshine mint licensed JM bars. I would have spent the money on some https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Shin-Black-Noodle-Spicy lol.
