Shin Cups are my go to.

Been meaning to try these for ages but I’m not a massive fan of spicy food. Just how spicy are they? For reference, on the rare occasion I get forced to have a Nando’s I opt for medium and that’s just right really.

This topic reminded me of LA Beast and his noodle challenge:

Ditto. Would be a shame to waste it.

I'm not sure if you would like it, they are pretty spicy.

Aha, glad it's not just me that does this then. It does draw some odd looks when being done!

I'm not sure about the other noodles mentioned here but that's how shin cups are supposed to be. It's mean't to be like ramen with the broth.

Agreed - try using half the sachet of soup bas, add the rest if you like.

Samyang do their equivalent to the Shin with better noodles. But even better they do one with cheese!! So if you can’t do the heat use half the spice sachet and all of the cheese one. It’s an interesting combo.




Gotta love these reviews.......

Just the Samyang cup ones which say to drain the water, as far as I know.

Agree that the 'soup' is the best bit, usually.

Definitely not hot but depending on my mood they sometimes are.
Where do you get your ja ja mein noodles from ? For a couple of decades i was able to get the same brand quite easily, but a few years back they vanished (though Bang Bang Oriental Food Court, Collindale, London, have a counter who do the real thing now).

Also on these do the official instructions have you drain and keep the cooking liquid, adding flavour, then adding the paste to the noodles ?

Amazon UK from memory the best price was £1.40 each (16 packets).

On the packet instructions..........

1.Add the noodles into 600ml of boiling water.
2.Boil the noodles for 5 minutes.
3.Add seasoning sauce on the noodles.
4.Mix well and serve

My method...........

1. Break the noodles into smaller pieces as if you don't it's far to much of a mouthful to slurp up like the Koreans do and it wont
last long!!
2. Put into your eating bowl along with the sealed bag of sauce and totally cover with boiling water for 3/5 minutes.
3. Drain off most of water except for about 4 desert spoons - you can adjust this to suit your tastes next time.
I like these noodles fairly "dry" as this holds the sauce better.
4. Open the now warmed sauce and add along with a couple of teaspoons of my Cox's Bloody Mary Spicer (they're a bit bland for
me without a chilly kick (try without first and see what you think).
5. Stir like mad and enjoy.

Note: Add cooked chicken/duck, raw wafer thin slices of steak, veggies, dried mushrooms are also good before you pour in the boiling water.

Oh and I Always eat with chopsticks as it takes longer and smaller mouthfuls which to me is the key to not feeling hungry after eating them.

I like Udon noodles a lot, but i won't go with this again.

Kind of bland, and seemingly impossible to eat without splashing broth on every corner of my desk.

I got mixed up with the Itsu Katsu I tried (the rice noodle type) a while back. Udon are wheat noodles and I like them too.

The broth in Japanese pots are generally wishy washy Miso soups though.

Ordered a few Shin Cups, they are nicer than the Samyang x2 Spicy in my opinion.

I just tip a glug of Holy F*ck sauce into spice them up a bit more.

These noodle pots are very addictive cool

Spotted cheese flavour noodles in one of the oriental supermarkets in Sheffield last week, passed on them and the 'Seafood Party' flavour! Son liked the pork flavour Nissin, have also got roast pork rib to try this weekend.

Nong Shim Korean Kimchi Ramyun are good, JML Spicy King Spicy Pork Noodle are fking lethal if you add all the seasonings!
