      These are some of the most popular and highest quality instant noodles available.
      That being said, there was an incident specifically with the ones manufactured in China that had some plastic material mixed in. Recalled quite quickly and obviously they are not made out of plastic on a regular basis.

      This is also the reason why the ones sold in Australia are marked with a big "MADE IN KOREA" on the front.

        But if you're already in Korea why don't you just eat real thing from local restaurant (I haven't been to korea, so it a serious question).

        Unless it's North Korea 😁

        • BargainGhost on 27/01/2020 - 13:26

          No, not really very similar. Unless you get ttopoki with noodles which is called llaboki which is much more spicy.

  • voteoften on 20/01/2020 - 18:19

      I assume you are asking for the instant version, not the restaurant.
      I saw them sold at Miyu Japan on newcastle street, Northbridge but it is quite expensive.

      I can not remember how much it is, but def more than 10 bucks for 1 box.

      • kerfuffle on 21/01/2020 - 00:07

        About $20 for two packs or $40 for five packs going by Sydney prices

    • KSMLJ on 20/01/2020 - 22:27

      First of all, we are not in China.

      Second, the average income in Australia is way above double what you get in China.

      Might be half the price in China, but your income will be nowhere within sniffing distance of what you get here.

      Maybe it's just me, but I think that's a good tradeoff.

  • Sambino on 20/01/2020 - 18:35

    To all the uninitiated/newly initiated, whilst Nongshim's Shin Ramyun is a good gateway instant noodle, much like Indomie's Migoreng is, if you've ever wondered "is this it? Is this as good as instant noodles gets?", or if you begin to get bored of shin ramyun, then make your way to your Asian grocers and look out for ramyun/ramen variants such as Kimchi and Budae jjigae (army stew). These flavours offer a nice tangy/sweet twist to the soup base (which I prefer) and sometimes marketed to have a more chewy noodle.

    Price will vary from shop to shop, I would consider anything under $5 to be on special (lower the better!). Brands like Nongshim, Samyang, Paldo are great in my opinion.

    • danz84 on 20/01/2020 - 18:50

      samyang is great if you want to start a spicy food challenge..

      • Taita on 20/01/2020 - 20:40

    Make sure to add only half the seasoning. Not that it's too spicy, but sodium content is high in the seasoning. Good instant noodles though.

    • whyisave on 20/01/2020 - 19:04
      +2

      Agree.
      These noodles have high sodium…much higher than recommended daily intake.

    • supernova23 on 20/01/2020 - 20:01
      +6

      All the sodium is in the soup though so you can just eat the noodles and throw away the soup and it’s fine.

    • perfectlydark on 20/01/2020 - 21:39

      i used to eat 2 packs a day until I had a medical checkup.. ouch

      • WillKillfor5Cents on 20/01/2020 - 22:49

        hope you are ok. Do you mind sharing what are all the side effects? Other than it's just bad for your health. Just out of curiosity.

        Growing up, parents always trying to scare me by saying that if I eat instant noodles everyday, the wax will destroy my gut. I wonder if that is any true at all…

        • Zippy135 on 20/01/2020 - 23:19
          +5

          My aunt taught me once you boil the noodles to throw the water out and dump the noodles in a fresh pot of water to get rid of a lot of the oil and wax they use to preserve the noodles.

          • WT on 21/01/2020 - 07:59

            @Zippy135: we must have the same aunt…

            • Apue on 21/01/2020 - 08:13

              @WT: So you must be cousins.
              I also often rinse the noodle with hot water. Taste wise it's a bit less.

            • Zippy135 on 21/01/2020 - 09:12

              @WT: 😄

          • neonlight on 21/01/2020 - 11:14

            @Zippy135: That was the old saying….every instant noodle maker should know about.

            You actually need to flush the noodles with fresh water and rinse properly.

        • perfectlydark on 21/01/2020 - 06:50

          its mainly the sodium which has had a pretty negative impact on my blood pressure, something that is incredibly difficult to bring back down one it got to a high level. Not that I can blame the entirety of my issues on Shin Ramen lol but it didnt help. I used to buy these by the box at asian grocers haha

      • petersx on 27/01/2020 - 09:13

        I recently was on a small boat trip between islands in Indonesia and had noodles in a cup, was rather shocked that in 2 minutes I had consumed 55% of my daily allowance of sodium (according to the table on the cup).

    • neonlight on 20/01/2020 - 21:49

      Sodium is always high on all instant and canned foods

      • Associatedotter-raptor @ Woolworths on 20/01/2020 - 22:35

        Yup that's correct, that's why I'm giving a heads up to reduce it 😀

  • imcold on 20/01/2020 - 19:04
    +2

    I usually grab these for $3.50 at my local Asian shop. But 50c is worth stocking up a few packs.

    I usually go for 3/4 seasoning. One in a while I accidentally add the whole lot in with a tin of chilli tuna, a bit of coughing but palletable.

    • BargainTeebone on 20/01/2020 - 19:59

      I also add a little less than the full pack to reduce saltiness.

  • pwnd on 20/01/2020 - 19:08

    I seem to recall these being quite spicy.
    Significantly spicier than Mi Goreng.

    • Taita on 20/01/2020 - 20:42

    My Korean partner just about froths at the mouth whenever these are on sale. Will be stocking up with at least a full box.

    These are great with a couple of dumplings and an egg dropped into the soup and stirred in just before serving, maybe some spring onion too if you want some greens.

    It does sadden me that these are made with palm oil.

    • clandestino on 20/01/2020 - 21:27

      • perfectlydark on 20/01/2020 - 21:40

        it will poach in about a minute. really good way to add some healthy protein

      • Tobias on 20/01/2020 - 21:43

        Yes.

        When the noodles are nearly ready and water is boiling. Break open an egg and add to noodles. Stir as desired and once egg is cooked, 1 minute or so, serve.

        Yum!

      • WT on 21/01/2020 - 08:17

        a raw egg stirred through cooks quickly, maybe 30 seconds even if just finished boiling. It adds egg flavor to every spoonful but no texture.

        an egg dropped in and poached for about 2 mins (simmer) will give a runny egg yolk but will give texture but 1 egg wont be enough for every spoon full

    Make it with less water, more concentrated flavour!

    • WT on 21/01/2020 - 08:22

      I suspect they reduced the noodles. I used to break a pack in half for a snack and it was enough. Now its not quite enough and you can see missing bits in the noodle circle where before it was full.

      I really dont get it, they are trying to save 2c

      • NoApostrophePlurals on 22/01/2020 - 12:33

        2 cents savings a packet = millions and millions of dollars of profit a year.
