Ottogi Chamggae Instant Ramen is a cup of noodles featuring a strong Asian vibe that is bursting with sesame flavor. If you’re a fan of sesame, you’ll enjoy these noodles. This cup of ramen also includes a large, dried block of egg and optional pepper oil for those of you that want something spicy. Plenty of options for customization here! So, here’s how to mix up this fantastic cup of noodles.

Step 1.) Partially open the lid to reveal the 3 packets inside

If you’re looking to customize these noodles even further, I recommend adding some eggs yolks to the mix for some extra protein. The creaminess of the yolks really pairs well. I like that Ottogi thoughtfully added a small packet of pepper oil. At least you have the option to spice things up or just enjoy a mild flavored ramen. I’ll be back with the review tomorrow.

Do you enjoy the flavor of sesame oil? Would you add in the pepper oil or not? Let me know down in the comments!
