You'll be wanting the 3x spicy hot chicken flavour then.

I just checked they are the same as these https://www.orientalmart.co.uk/samyang-buldak-hot-... I ordered a while back.

They are stupid spicy hot.

Yep they're the same but £2 cheaper at StarryMart at the moment....... https://starrymart.co.uk/samyang-buldak-hot-chicke...

Not in a pot, but these are nice, and quite spicy. Instructions state to add to a pan of 550ml boiling water, add the flavour/spice sachets and simmer for 4.5minutes, however I find less water is best...

They are really good . I buy in bulk from amazon.

I keep the recommended liquid level - it's a ramen and I enjoy the broth.

Obviously eat as you wish of course!

Yeah these are a solid staple of this here thread. I do 450ml of water but each to their own

Currently a pack of 5 at Sainsbury’s is or was £4.

I drop in 2 or 3 eggs for last 2m15secs of cooking which also helps take away some of the spice assuming you use the whole sachet oh & I chuck in some chopped spring onion at the end for some crunch.

Quite spicy, had to keep blowing my nose when eating

I ordered two packs of five. But I’ve not yet worked up the balls to try!

I practically live on these things.

My preferred method for these - use the recommended 550ml of water, once boiling add the vegetable flakes and the soup powder, also a heaped teaspoon of garlic paste and another of Gochujang (Korean fermented red pepper paste) and stir well until it mixes fully. Cook the noodles for the recommended time, then with about 2 mins to go add two or three chopped spring onions, a chopped chilli and a beaten egg. Give it 30 sec then stir until the cooking time is over.

As they come they are very good, for me the above adds flavour, richness and protein.

Not a problem they're not in a pot - in fact 'in a pot' is usually a rip off. Check out the price per 100g difference here................





There are slight differences in the noodle thickness/shape but that's down to their cooking instructions (in a pot are 'instant' as in pour boiling water in and leave whereas the packet type say boil in a pan for 4/5 minutes) but I've found that all of them are fine doing it the pour and leave method. Also broth or dry is a personal choice. I prefer a broth but quite often fancy a dryish one so pour out all/most of water before adding the soup sachet.

Whatever takes your fancy there's no right or wrong way just enjoy

I know it's a very different experience now they've opened membership up to people that aren't powerfully built directors and doctors but if anyone still uses Costco...

We still go there, I've seen some of these in store but shied away from buying a crate of them in case they turned out to be duff. Other than the Shin Ramyun, what are the others like, do you know?

I've only had the Mr Noodles chicken ones (bland but a decent portion size and good to add extras to) and the Shin Ramyun ones, I've not really seen the others so presume they've increased the range for Chinese New Year?

Good to know, thanks. I've certainly seen the Mr Noodles Kimchi ones and maybe the Mi Goreng ones in store, I need to get there soon for other stuff anyway (two pack of cowboy steaks for a start!) so will have a look. The Oh Noodles Pho ones are of particular interest.

[Bomberharris]

We go to a Chinese wholesaler - Hoo Hing very cheap and different tastes 👍

[hiccy18]

I think the Oh! Noodles Pho are the Acecook ones, I just bought, Japanese brand, not spicy, the chewy fake beef bits are not unpleasant and there's a nice flavour from the coriander; not bad.

This guy likes them................







Personally I'm not a fan of rice noodles and clear type soups.

I've had the Kimchi Chicken ones, wasn't impressed personally

When they first got them in they were considerably cheaper so I'd use them as a base for a quick lunch, throw in some cooked chicken, some spinach, bean sprouts and then a load of chilli oil or flakes but at the price they normally are it's really not worth it unless you don't really want a lot of flavour.
