How Did We Make It?
We prepared the noodles by following the instructions as stated on the pack:
- Firstly, we boiled 550 ml of water.
- Once boiled, we added the noodles, tastemaker and the veggies.
- We gave everything a good stir and cooked it until the noodles reached the desired texture.
Our Experience
Texture
The noodles are long, slippery, bouncy and have a nice satisfying bite. This is an impressive aspect for instant noodles. The broth to noodle ratio is great. It offers a comforting soupy experience.
The carrots taste fresh and add a nice bite, while the shiitake mushrooms are extremely delightful with a meaty, springy texture that enhances the flavor.
Taste
Taste-wise, these noodles are undeniably spicy but not in the sense that they will burn your throat. Unlike many “extra hot” instant noodles available in the market, the spice here is enjoyable. The broth, enhanced by the umami flavor of mushrooms and soy, is delicious without any off-putting aftertaste.
Though the noodles feel spicy at the first bite, they become enjoyable the more you eat, allowing you to truly appreciate the complex flavors of this satisfying bowl of noodles.
Needless to say, this is not for those who have a low chilli tolerance. The spice levels are higher than average, even for the Indian palette.
- Long and bouncy noodles
- Spiciness is enjoyable. It doesn’t burn your throat.
- The vegetables – carrots & shiitake mushrooms add a delightful taste & texture.
- The noodle to the seasoning/broth ratio is just right
These noodles by Nongshim will be enjoyed by people with medium spice tolerance level.
