SamyangInstant Ramen Noodles, Halal Certified, Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken Flavor 4.93 Ounce (Pack of 10)

I've been wanting to try these for a while, didn't think to look on Amazon though so I kind of stumbled upon these down a shopping rabbit hole. Needless to say, I read the (bad) reviews carefully before I actually bought them. They made me a bit apprehensive but I decided that it was worth the risk. I wasn't a prime member on trial when I ordered these, but they still came sooner than I thought they would. I've since tried them...and I think they're lovely. And I'd like to address some of the bad reviews I've read on these: Firstly, mine came in great condition, not a one broken sauce pack or crushed ramen. But I also had a bunch of other stuff shipped with them and there was a ton of bubble wrap, so maybe that had something to do with it? Second, me personally I don't think they're "too spicy". I'm so used to spice that spicy foods kind of plateau and don't really get spicier than a certain level but these are still pretty hot, I am glad to say BUT if you don't wait for them to cool down you may confuse hot-°F for hot-spicy and will burn tf out of your mouth-not in the good way. So "wait for the steam to abate" hahaa or don't get them if you know you suck at taking spice (and if you do anyways for the fun of it, don't bi*ch about them being too spicy. Just saying). Third, as for flavor and noodle quality, these are NOT at all like the americanized oodles of noodles you and I are used to having. The first thing I noticed When I took my first bite was not the spice but how they're not salty. Not saying they lack salt but I'm used to pack noodles being LOADED with salt, so much so that if u like them less soupy, you can't use the whole seasoning pack. With these, the whole seasoning pack gets used on very little water so you don't really have the soupy option- fine by me. Also, cooking then for less time (like I always do with American ramen b.c I like a firmer noodle) isn't recommended. If you want my advice, follow the directions carefully the first time and THEN make your personal tweaks. I see people cooking them for less time than they're supposed to b.c the think they "like a firmer texture" and then complaining about noodle quality. These noodles are made with tapioca so yes, they're chewy and thicc and must be cooked their whole 5 min, then 30 sec. When I did this, they came out perfectly and the taste didn't disappoint- very unlike the assembly line-sodium packed taste I'm used to :) but I still felt like they were missing something. Not flavor, but other stuff... The second time I tried it (and added my personal tweaks) I put in some leftover chicken and broccoli stir fry I'd made and my noodles were transformed. My boyfriend, who had previously declined to try them before, tasted them that time said (and I quote) "Those are really good", this coming from a man whose top praise for food is a rare "Delicious". Getting a "Those are really good" from a food that came in a package and that is not a steak dinner/ home cooked meal is also pretty rare from him. I think they're totally worth buying, they're so unlike any other pack noodle I've ever gotten- my tongue and stomach doesn't go numb from the salt after I ate them, and they mix VERY well with meats and vegetables- also unlike typical instant ramen which makes anything you add taste weirdly artificial- it's almost like.. real food. Like something I'd order from a Chinese food restaurant. I rarely eat ramen but sometimes I crave it for some reason, I'm always disappointed and I go back to not eating them for months and months...that won't be a problem anymore b.c I will never be eating American ramen again😂 I am so glad I bought these and Will be getting them from now on.

As someone that normally is disappointed by spicy claims at restaurants or grocery store items, I can say that these are actually spicy. I ordered a version that say they are 2x spicy, but this is at the height of my spicy tolerance. Maybe in the future I'll attempt the 2x spicy. On a heat scale I would put this around a Habanero pepper. My nephew at the 2x spicy version and said they remind him of ghost pepper for heat. If you love ramen and love heat, it is a great product.

I have been eating these regularly for several years now. At one point I was eating them daily, which is not good, so be careful. It sounds ridiculous, but these can be slightly addictive!If you're not used to very spicy food, start out with half, or even a quarter, of the liquid sauce. Build up to the full packet.I always "improve" mine with a little heavy cream (a LITTLE), some shredded cheese, onion and garlic powder, and a garnish of green onions and a little Kewpie mayo before serving. A fried egg on top also works beautifully!

These are halal so I decided it would be a good way to try out. I used the smallest amount of the hot sauce provided, but OMG the heat levels are off the charts. I added some brown sugar to balance it out. If you are trying this out for the first time, please add like a drop of the sauce and see how it tastes before adding more.

These are my favorite ramen noodles. Great texture, the sauce is god-tier, and the spice is chef's kiss. You can add a bunch of things to it, make them the regular way or use as a soup base.I could eat them daily, and I have. Gotta cut back right now though. Oh, how I miss them already.

I love this ramen, it's more stir fry then it is a broth Ramen but I love it so much! It's my favorite ramen and my go to for a quick meal. I like adding corn, eggs, and sometimes dumplings to it. It is spicy but if you're a spice lover like me you'll definitely love it.

These are %10000 the best tasting super spicy noodles I've tried. Taste important, and these taste great. I also add a decent amount of cayenne powder, chili powder and chipotle dark chili powder with diced red onions. I like to cry 😂I went shopping local, no luck. UNTIL! I found that Walmart has them, 5 pack sets ..... and they're only $6.50 per 5 pack (exact same noodle, brand,spice, chicken). I bought all they had left, eight 5-packs 🤣😅

I really like the flavor. They’re really good except.. THEY’RE REALLY HOT. But usually i am very familiar and good with spicy food, but these noodles here, are reallllly hot. And i’m not even over exaggerating it. It’s the after taste that really got me. Yet At first i was going to get the EXTRA spicy… thank god i didn’t or else i’d be crying haha. But if spicy is your thing, then this is the best choice for you:)
