Ah… man… This series of noodles again… I don’t wanna… but I must! Back again is Ottogi’s Heart Signal Series of instant noodles meant to harm, I mean aid, in the marketing for the popular TV show, Heart Signal. I probably don’t have to tell you that the last cup of Ottogi Heart Signal Ramen that I reviewed was lackluster, to say the least. I’ll try and keep an open mind about both these noodles and the TV show for now, but something tells me Jjalabokki is going to be another dud. Let’s jump right into it today and follow pretty much the same directions as Ottogi’s Heart Signal Cheese-ghetti Instant Noodles from the previous review.
Step 1.) Partially open the lid and remove the 3 packets from inside
Step 2.) Pour the dried flakes packet into the cup
Step 3.) Boil some water and fill the cup up to the fill line
Step 4.) Close the lid and wait patiently for 4 minutes
Step 5.) Open the area marked for draining the liquid and remove most of the liquid
Step 6.) Add the powdered jjajang packet and mix
Step 7.) Add the liquid sauce packet
Step 8.) Mix and Enjoy!
Pretty much cookie-cutter repeat in steps there! The only difference is in the sauce packets really. That’s super convenient! The review is coming today as well, so stick around a while and watch some Heart Signal reruns or something.
For the Heart Signal fans out there, would you pick either the Cheese-ghetti or Jjalabokki for snack, while you watch the show? Which do you think is better? Let me know in the comments!
