A rich and creamy combination of Jin Jjambbong and Jin Jjajang, Ottogi’s Jinjinjjara is a hybrid beast of a ramen that will make even Godzilla hungry (or insert South Korean equivalent here). This is one heck of a mashup and one of my new all time favorites. This cup of noodles takes Jjajang to the next level. If you were lucky enough to pick up this cup of instant ramen at your local Asian grocery store, then you’ve made an excellent choice. Here’s how to cook Ottogi Jinjinjjara.

Step 1.) Open the lid to reveal the two packets inside

That’s all there is to making this cup of noodles, but look out! It looks like Chapagetti has some serious competition! More on this tomorrow with the review where I’ll be comparing Chapagetti and Jinjinjara.

So, what do you think of the fancy pouring tab on this cup of noodles? Should all brands have incorporate this into their cups? Let me know in the comments.
