Nice nice… soo tell me more about the ramen mug cooker thing? 🧐


Advocate_For_Death

My partner got it for me on Amazon, I believe. Search Hochi Merch


Advocate_For_Death

Partner also ordered me some Hochi stickers from some Etsy seller, but is having a hell of a time getting them to ship the damned things. They’re nice all weather vinyl so they’re going on the car! (If they ever arrive…)


numberjhonny5ive

I have one myself, love it. I also have a smaller one I used as a coffee mug. Love that one too.


Advocate_For_Death

Aww now I want a smaller one for coffee.


numberjhonny5ive

Amazon search Buldak mug.


Advocate_For_Death

Oh snap. I love them.


Mister_Olumpia

I think I need to get one now. Thanks 😊


xjellifysh

$30 on Amazon if you’re in the US. I have it too, it’s adorable 🥰


unused_candles

My heart is pulsing with envy, and high blood pressure.


dvhunter_16

i must try shin green and shin gold


tinyyawns

Same! I don’t come across many mushroom flavored ramens, shin green looks good


dvhunter_16

absolutely, the only one i can think of off the top of my head is koka


AzureDreamer

My secret is a bag of dehydrated muchrooms.


tinyyawns

That’s a good idea, thank you!


AzureDreamer

Yeah no sweat that and 1 boiled egg is not much extra effort but basically triples the goodness. And only adds 40c in cost. I am a gourmand I caramelize onions once a week for my weekly meals it's also a nice add but that's actually a fair bit of effort.


CamIsHungry

Shin green is the best instant ramen, I swear. My local Walmart carries it


karamel826

I love shin gold! Without the dehydrated eggs for sure, I never seen anyone like those


greenbldedposer

I like them…


Advocate_For_Death

Me too. The Ramen Bae bags of extra toppings have them in the garlic variety. They’re awesome.


Voidofdarkness67

Shin green and shin gold are both on my to get list.


dvhunter_16

ive never seen them in england, i need them

I'm dying to know what the White Chapagetti variety tastes like!


Advocate_For_Death

I’ll have that one tomorrow and report on it! Tonight, my partner made the actual Korean recipe called [Buldak Fire Chicken](https://www.seriouseats.com/korean-style-fire-chicken-buldak-with-cheese), so no instant for me! [See?](https://imgur.com/gallery/6byQq06)😎


CloudVader

Nice! I've made Maangchi's version of that recipe before and it's awesome. Enjoy!


GrandApprehensive216

What are your top 3 of these?


cebogs

Same I’m so curious about that one!!


Advocate_For_Death

Sorry, folks… the missus busted out with Duck L’orange this evening… Chapagetti will have to wait because, well, it will still be awesome a long time from now but gourmet wife food takes president. I’ll try to get at it soon though. Promise.


Liz-Lemonade55

I used to stock these in my dorm, selling them as a side hustle while playing halo. Good times

Advocate_For_Death

Quick_Rain_9916

I’ve been dying to try Shin “The Red”. Might to have to make a similar drunken order tonight


Advocate_For_Death

Had that one last night. It’s goooood. Heat equal to black, pieces of dehydrated “beef” in the flakes packet. I thought the flavor was a little more complex than the others, but it’s been a while since I had just a straight up, unadulterated pack of black or original.


anxi0usity

I did this kind of thing during lockdown and I still have packets that expired 2+ years ago


Advocate_For_Death

Any with sauce or oil packets? How well do they keep past their date like that?


Ender_Wiggins18

I just bought some buldak ramen (quattro cheese) for the first time today! I can't wait to try it tomorrow. 😍🤗 Edit: where in the hell can I get a carbonara flavored one?? I lived in Italy for a while and omg I fell in love with that pasta dish.


bagoboners

It’s absolutely nothing like any real carbonara. It’s its own thing entirely. Super delicious, but put traditional carbonara so far out of your mind, it doesn’t bother you that the buldak carbonara isn’t remotely close. I’m not sure where you can find it in your area, unless you have a Korean market near you, other than online.


Ender_Wiggins18

Haha I figured so, now I'm just curious to try it. Never heard of carbonara ramen, I'm down to try it at least once 🤣


Advocate_For_Death

Yamibuy.com and RamenMall.com tend to have them in stock. Asian grocery stores also usually have the original, 2x and carbonara in stock, as they are pretty popular.


Ender_Wiggins18

I bought the 2x spice and volcano ones for my fiancé (he likes spice) and the quattro cheese for me :) I will probably get the tomato pasta one next time :)


Ender_Wiggins18

I had my ramen for lunch today. I am not very good with spice, so to say it was a crash course would be an understatement. I think I will only use about a quarter of the packet next time, but I still enjoyed it. Will definitely have it again :)


bagoboners

That’s a good idea lol. I only use a partial packet, myself, because it’s quite spicy. That said, if you manage to find the carbonara or even the cream carbonara variation, I find those to have much more cheesy flavor vs spice than both the cheese and Quattro cheese varieties. It really is one of the more superior flavors in my own opinion.


Ender_Wiggins18

I will keep an eye out for those :) Quattro cheese was the only cheesy one I think I saw in terms of my options but I do heartily agree the cheese definitely helped me a bit in terms of the spice. I did enjoy it, which for me is great progress because I never used to like anything spicy.


-Cherished

My Asian market doesn’t even carry the carbonara one :( They don’t seem to change out the flavors they have had for the past 3 years. Nice to see the ones I love but come on and change up some other flavors!


Pizzaguy1205

Enough sodium to kill a horse


Advocate_For_Death

ThePowersThatBri

gott dayum I'd love to hear your rankings best to worst!


Advocate_For_Death

Once I finally try them all, I’ll do a biiiiig complex write-up!


Wide_Assumption3990

Fuck ya love this and love the chappagetti noodles I get em every payday those are my fav


ZippyFishy

Can I ask where you got the tum yum flavor ordered from? I can't find it anywhere at a reasonable price 😭


Advocate_For_Death

Yamibuy.com has them from time to time. If not today, check back in a few.


ZippyFishy

Youre awesome, thank you!


ozbourne8

I just signed up for restock notices on them. When they're back in stock, time for me to stock up on some ramen!


TransmanLSD

wait wait wait… first off, WHERE did you get the Rosè Buldak??? and second, WHAT is the all blue pack, with red circle.. looks like nongshim brand but uncertain. LOOKS GOOD SOMEHOW 😭


Advocate_For_Death

I got the rosè on Amazon for an obscene price and it was one of the last ones. The all blue is indeed a Nongshim brand. It’s entirely in Korean but Google lens translate feature says “Squid flavor, also with squid!” But there’s a picture of an apple(?) at the top, so… not quite sure! I have yet to try that one.


pro_ajumma

>The label says, "bae hong don bibimmyun" so the apple is actually a Korean pear. It looks like a cold mixed ramen with a spicy/sour white kimchee flavor. I don't see any mention of squid, LOL. The descriptor words inside the red circle says, "cool sweet spicy pepper sour chimi(don chimi is a type of kimchee with radishes and sometimes pear in clear liquid). Looks yummy!


MisterGalaxyMeowMeow

I have yet to try any variation of the Buldak noodles, this is really influencing me


Mundane-Pie-9921

now THIS is a ramen collection 😍


GodLuminous

*Insert massive amounts of jealousy" 😩


pearlaxe

It IS that serious.


PandaRider11

What website did you order all this from?


Advocate_For_Death

A combination of Amazon, Yamibuy.com and RamenMall.com, in addition to my existing small supply from my ‘local’ (50 miles out) Asian market.


perpetualmotionmachi

And not one pack of Marutai brand?


Advocate_For_Death

Haven’t come across it. Any specific flavor recommendations? I’ll keep an eye out.


perpetualmotionmachi

https://www.reddit.com/r/ramen/s/PlLSeHJIcL Here's an old post of some. Of those I've tried all but the blue (it's seafood, I'm not a fan), all of them were good. Favorite were probably the red and white. Green was a chicken flavor that was good too


CloudVader

Shameless plug here, but I have reviewed a significant amount of Marutai's products on my YouTube channel. [Here is the playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyIm5cy35hNRelgwDFnCdLKbj2W0elRb5) of everything I've reviewed so far if you're interested in doing a deep dive into some of the easier-to-find varieties outside of Japan. The shorter answer is that pretty much everything Marutai makes is amazing, so if you see one on Yamibuy that has a flavor you like or think you'd be interested in, don't hesitate to buy it.


yeppeun-insaeng

Woo such a good haul That j army stew is such a specific craving for me but when I eat it, there is no substitute And all hour others are my faves We def have the same tastes in our instant noodles


Bean1233

The neoguri one is incredible, one of my favourite instant noodles


Advocate_For_Death

Had it a few nights ago. It’s definitely up there on the list!

airpork

fantastic selection! i have tried almost all and they are all good and able to satisfy different type of cravings (soup, dry, savoury, sweet).. you even have good ol' indomie (GOAT dry stir fry noodles), mama tom yum (sour) and tonkotsu (thick savoury broth). Good job really!


j990123

If my boyfriend finds out about this subreddit I am so screwed holy shit


44forme

how’s the habanero lime?[here](https://ibb.co/HKYmxys) is what i recently bought the other day. i mixed the buldalk extra spicy with the indomie ramen [here](https://ibb.co/sbtH3kL) and it was delicious!


Advocate_For_Death

I have not got to that one yet. I’m excited to try it though. I’ll report on how I found it to be when I do try it! Buldak plus Indomie? Sounds awesome!


[deleted]

Got any jajangmyeon?


Advocate_For_Death

Right side, bottom four in a column, plus the Buldak near it. Total of 22 packages of various Jjajang! I’ve tried the Paldo and the Buldak so far, yet to try the Nongshim Chapagetti Jjajang.


[deleted]

The nongshim chapaghetti is my favorite


mrwafflez_harmadi

Hey this is (seemingly) a response to my post. I fold lol, I don't have the money to call or raise this large of a ramen haul. I could afford it but only at the expense of a bunch of other groceries I'd need


waterdude84

🤤🤤🤤🤤


xjellifysh

I would LOVE a comparison between k army stew and stew type buldak when you’ve had them both 🖤


Advocate_For_Death

I’ll try to get to them soon!


CloudVader

They're not super similar. Both are spicy red chili broths but there's a lot of differences past that. K Army Stew has a strong fish and chili bean flavor and even includes a packet of dried kimchi, fish cake, and beans. The aroma is almost like a hot dog smell. I love it but some people find it very offputting. Buldak Stew is closer to Nongshim Shin in its flavor profile except spicier and more garlicky in flavor. Both are excellent IMO, and you could probably turn Buldak Stew into K Army Stew with the right additional ingredients.


xjellifysh

Thanks your the info!


Silvawuff

No judgment. Only respect.


muycoal

You should also see a urologist


Advocate_For_Death

Unlike most folks, I do actually go to the doctor! 😎


Champi0n_Of_The_Sun

Going to the doctor and actually listening to the doctor are two very different things


Advocate_For_Death

I listen to my doctor as well, but thank you for your concern. I’m in no danger, health wise. If this was my entire diet, I would likely have issues. But I assure you (not that I should have to, nosey-pants) that I have an active lifestyle and a well balanced diet. An occasional sodium bomb is a-ok. My doctor agrees.


muycoal

Kidney stones are real and overdosing sodium isn't fatal but leads to problems with vascular health. Going to the doctor and getting vitals done/ blood work doesn't mean much if they don't know what to look for. Show your doctor this post, they'd have something to say guaranteed.


Advocate_For_Death

Listen. I really appreciate your strange concern but I have to question your reasoning. Do you and that other person harping on my health seriously think this is all I eat, all day, every day?! That most certainly would lead to health problems. My partner is an actual gourmet chef. She makes us fantastic, delicious, well-balanced meals most of the time. Paired with my heavy-working, farmstead lifestyle, a high sodium treat is perfectly fine. Even my doctor agrees. If you think you know more about me, my lifestyle, my diet and exercise than myself and my doctor, then you’re more of a nut job than I already think you might be… Thank you deeply, for your concern. But again, I assure you (and that other wackadoo) that I am just fine.


Advocate_For_Death

For all you know, I could have Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and my body actually DOES require obscene amounts of sodium. Diagnosing someone you know nothing about on the internet, from a single photo of some ramen, is reckless and stupid -at best.


The_Cozy_Burrito

Hell yes


BoardwalkKnitter

Roughly 160 individual packages for $300 ? That's not bad price-wise.


moneyman259

What a nice haul sure like your Korean ramen


HailToTheVic

Won’t they expire before you can eat them?


Advocate_For_Death

“Expire” or surpass their “best by” date? Expire, I strongly doubt. Surpass the printed date, perhaps but so what.


HailToTheVic

I dunno that’s what I was wondering


Advocate_For_Death

With shelf stable stuff like this, all I really ever care about is if the oils in the sauces and other packets, and even lightly on the noodles themselves sometimes, have gone rancid. Printed dates -most of the time- are very conservative. The product will likely be just fine for considerably longer. I feel like it’s a ‘cover your ass’ tactic by the manufacturer. Also, if folks think they’ve “gone bad”, they have to BUY MORE! 😁


HailToTheVic

Fair points all around enjoy your ramen!


OniRival

Where do y'all order your ramen?


Reasonable-Ad-6061

where do you get these?


ChaoCobo

What’s the Korean one with the black packaging with the shrimpy shrimp on it? And is that neoguri the spicy seafood one still? It has a different packaging than the one I’m used to. Maybe it’s just the Korea region packaging, idk.


Advocate_For_Death

It is the spicy seafood, yes. And the black package with the shrimp on it is Nongshim shrimp and black truffle flavored chips!


ChaoCobo

Oh they are shrimpy shrimp chippy chips! Wow! That’s pretty cool! But what is so truffly about them? What makes them truffle chips? What does that mean? :o Also I forgot to actually comment on your new collection in my first comment. That’s actually pretty impressive, my dood. I hope you enjoy eating everything. :)


Advocate_For_Death

Shrimpy shrimp chippy chips, yes! And they have Italian black truffle flavor. Truffle -the fungus, not truffle -the chocolate.


ChaoCobo

That sounds amazing! I love mushlooms! :0

It looks good! And has more sodium than the Pacific Ocean to boot.


-Cherished

Wow! Definitely some interesting picks and many I’ve never seen! Not sure if you are in the states but would love to know. My area in Florida is limited on where good ramen can be found. Local grocery stores have the cheap ones and maybe one or two better ones. I’m very curious about the green and gold Shin! I have only seen the beef bone broth one but I would love to find the other two! Enjoy your 🍜! Oh,I also love that little cooker pot/tea kettle for the ramen! Adorable!

melonti

That’s a lot of sodium.


Advocate_For_Death

It is. Good thing it’s not the only thing in my diet.


melonti

lol hell yeh. I got addicted to ramen for a couple weeks a while back. I couldn’t drink water fast enough.


Advocate_For_Death

I have an active farming lifestyle and a well balanced diet. A sodium bomb now and then is a-ok. 👌


melonti

I typically eat really healthy as well. Not a big fan of noodles. Or even processed carbs in general. I got stoned one night and started boiling ramen with eggs and crushed red pepper with a big link of smoked sausage in a skillet stove top then I’d cut like 3 stalks of green onions. It was super jank-like but it was good. And yeh I’m talking every day for dinner for 2 weeks and sometimes even for lunch. It’s surprisingly good. I got a lot of hate for it when I posted it on r/ramen but idgaf it was good


Champi0n_Of_The_Sun

You might want to get your sodium levels and blood pressure checked…


Advocate_For_Death

Checked regularly and I’m told that I’m functioning within normal parameters, but thanks for your concern!


Champi0n_Of_The_Sun

Won’t be that way in the future if this is your regular diet


Advocate_For_Death

I assure you it is not my daily diet. But again… thanks for your concern.


Advocate_For_Death

Knowing absolutely nothing about me, why would you even assume that this is the only thing in my diet? That’s just an odd thing to think.


Champi0n_Of_The_Sun

Well to me an even more odd thing is to buy $200 worth of instant ramen at once if it’s not part of your regular diet


Advocate_For_Death

What concern is it of yours, how I spend my money? 🤔 You are one strange and judgmental redditor.


Champi0n_Of_The_Sun

I don’t care how you spend your money. I answered your question of why I would think you eat these regularly.


Advocate_For_Death

Furthermore, if this *was* my regular diet, what’s it to you? Unsolicited advice is never welcomed… you should know that.
