The Gucci of Nongshim’s Shin Ramen line of instant noodles, Shin Ramen Black, is the upgraded black label version to the original. It packs a richer, more flavorful flavor (Yes, I did that.), an even more generous portion of meat and vegetables, and the same flavor most of you probably already know and love. One of the best classics just got a whole lot better!
Oh, by the way, be extra careful with the preparation for this package of instant noodles. It contains one extra step than most other instant ramen. Nothing tricky though! Let’s make some high-class instant noodles!
Step 1.) Open the package and remove the 3 packets (First Soup (Red), Final Soup (Gold), and Dried Flakes)
Step 2.) Bring 550ml of water (2 1/4 cups) to a boil
Step 3.) Add the noodles and the red soup packet, and dried flakes to the boiling water
Step 4.) Cook the ingredients for 4 minutes and 30 seconds
Step 5.) Turn off the heat and add the gold soup packet to the mix
Step 6.) Mix well and Enjoy!
A few extra steps to get that soup just… right with this ramen. I kind of liked what the extra soup packet did for this package of instant noodles. I really helped to give the soup some extra body and flavor! Check back for the review tomorrow.
