MMM...Ramen

MY comfort food

On a cool day, what’s the best meal to have? If you ask me I’ll tell you straight away. RAMEN. Now I’m not saying that ramen should only be eaten on cool days. Eat them whenever you want, but for me, ramen tastes the BEST when you’re stuck inside and swaddled up in a blanket. 

I’m not talking about your typical cardboard-tasting ramen from Wal-mart of course. I’m not bashing the people who do eat those though. I mean, we’ve all been there. Broke, struggling, or just too lazy to cook, Wal-mart ramen is there for you but there is actual good ramen out there and THAT’s what I’m here to talk about. 

There are better alternatives 

There are multiple brands of ramen out there. There is Mama, Indomie, Maruchan, Nissin, Buldak, and so on and so forth, but my all-time favorite brand is Nongshim, and my favorite pack from them is the Shin Ramyun red pack. 

Shin Ramyun 

Shin Ramyun is the most delicious and comforting pack of ramen I’ve ever consumed. On a cool, brisk, windy day it is the best meal. The spiciness warms you up and the flavors make you happy. 

There are 3 components to the pack. That is: 

• The noodles

• The flavoring packets

• Dried vegetables

Don’t let the list fool you. It does not taste like your run-of-the-mill instant cardboard ramen. Once assembled, you get a grade 1 flavor-packed bowl of deliciousness. The broth is spicy yet savory. The dried vegetables are rehydrated and become wonderful accents to the dish and finally, the noodles. The noodles have an amazing texture (if you followed the instructions on the pack) and have absorbed the flavors of the broth into its every fiber. Every bite is bliss. 

Just delicious 

While and after eating this bowl of ramen on a nice cool day you get this sense of fulfillment and comfort. Like a big warm hug. This is my go-to meal on a lot of days. Now I know what you’re thinking. That’s unhealthy as heck dude. Yes, yes it is. But once you’ve experienced it you’ll understand why. I suggest you go buy a pack of Nongshim Shin Ramyun noodles whenever you see it and try it for yourself. It’ll be a game-changer. TRUST ME.
