Another one I got while in Canada for my birthday. I’m sure many folks will immediately ask ‘where did you get this’ and ‘where can I get it,’ and I’ll just say I’ve only seen this in Canada. See, they get stuff in the Vancouver area from not only the Nongshim plant here in the states but the one in Shanghai, China. Got a couple more coming down the pipe of reviews soon that hail from China. Let’s check this out!
The export sticker (click to enlarge). This was on the side of the 5-pack I got. Says pork bone seasoning, so not sure if that’s pork or not.
The back of an individual pack (click image to enlarge).
Potato noodle block!
A nice fat seasoning packet.
The soup base. It has a really nice flavor – one of the most porkflavor powders I’ve tasted.
Veggie packet.
A small array of bits.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added some baked pork chop I made last night with apple, onion and garlic salt, some sweet onion and some green onion. The noodles are thick and have a gauge not unlike Nongsdhim Shin Ramyun, however the consistency is different. They seem almost heartier. The broth is amazingly good – has a really good pork flavor I’ve not experienced at this caliber in an instant before. A little slight spice in there too. The veggies were good as well. This was a real surprise! 5.0 out of 5.0 stars .UPC bar code 6920238087014.
Here’s a commercial for this one.
The package says in Korean script, “Kamjatang Myun.” Kamjatang literally translates as “potato soup” but in actuallity is a very rich soup made from pork rib broth and shredded rib.meat, with one solitary potato in the middle.”Myun”, of course, refers to the noodles.
Before I forget, it’s a favorite meal of taxi drivers. If you ever want to find a great kamjatang joint in Korea, ask a cabbie.
That sounds awesome – just need to find myself in Korea first though… Someday!
