#4215: Yuanxian Absolutely Yummy Hotpot Sweet Potato Noodle – China
Well, hello there! I haven’t been reviewing a lot lately – weather’s been nice and I’ve been walking a lot – did 22 miles last week – on Thursday! Luckily, I’m over a hundred reviews ahead so by the time you see this, it’s probably close to 4 months later than when I wrote this here. Anyways, this one came from Asian Family Market on Aurora a couple days before Lunar New Year. Let’s check it out!
#4214: Nongshim Angry Chapaguri – United States
Well, well, well. I think this one should warrant a mukbang, don’t you? I’m trying to remember the last time I did one, actually. I must say I’m sad to report that this is the first year a top ten list for South Korea has been skipped since I started doing them; I’ve reviewed so few new varieties. Really bummed about that – help! Glad to see a new one here, however this is for the US market and not the Korean version. Hopefully some new ones will cross my desk for 2023 soon. Either way, this is an extra spicy version of Chapaguri, made popular by the film Parasite I believe. Still haven’t seen the film… Being with poor vision, subtitles are a little rough. Definitely would like to see the ramdon scene. But anyhoo, let’s check this new ramdon out.
#4212: Nissin Cup Noodles Stir Fry Fiery Korean Chicken Flavor – United States
Fiery Korean chicken? Well, I think we all know where this is headed. I must say thgough, I’m intrigued. These are the same folks that brought us the almighty! The Pumpkin Spice Cup Noodles! I must admit, I figure this is going to be interesting. Bring on the spice!
#4210: Nissin Cup Noodles Stir Fry Rice With Noodles Korean Spicy Beef – United States
Pretty sure this is one either sent by Nissin Foods or by James from Lakeside, California – thank you! So… these rice with noodles are really interesting – and rather good from what I’ve tried thus far. Let’s cook it up and give it a try!

#4202: Menraku Japanese Ramen “Hot & Spicy” Flavor With Chili Garlic – United States
Here’s yet another Menraku variety and it came from James of Lakeside, California – thanks again! I thought this would be a dry variant, but it’s definitely not. I should mention that yes, while this is made in Japan, it’s definitely an export version and that’s why it gets the United States tag at the end. Let’s give it a try!
#4196: Lin Jia Ya Tou One Noodle One Soup Pepper Noodle – China
Found this one right before Lunar New Year. Looked interesting and there were three of them we could get, so we got all three. The last one I tried said it was spicy, but didn’t seem to be so much. Luckily, this time I got some really great advice on what this was and how to cook it from Annie over at Red Chef – thanks you! Let’s give it a try!
#4187: Poco Kitchen Thai Peanut Saute – United States
Here’s the second variety from Poco Kitchen I’m trying that comes with noodles. I think I’ll probably do their broth as well. Thai peanut saute sounds interesting – let’s give it a go.

#4159: Naked Chinese Style Hot & Sour Ramen Noodles – United Kingdom
Found these in Bellevue, Washington at a Walmart during the Great Hunt for Pumpkin Spice Cup Noodles of Fall 2021. Definitiely something interesting to check out. These are in a little pouch – have tried the cup version of this but the pouch sounds interesting – let’s check it out!

#4150: 7 Select Tomato Basil Pasta Cup – United States
What an interesting thing! You might be surprised to know that while 7 Eleven stores started in the United States, they’re owned and headquartered in Japan now. 7 Select is a range you see over there quite a bit but here it seems to be a new thing. So, a convenient pasta cup. This sounds like fun. It promises to be the finest… Oh man I still feel like crap… I think we all have the ‘rona. This isn’t fun that’s for sure. But hey let’s check this out!

#4143: Charming Couple Biang Biang Garlic Oil Fermented Tofu – Taiwan
Wow – I can’t believe I’m still awake and actually being productive. You see, I did an interview for Arirang Radio in South Korea last night – at 2am and then got up around 5:30am… It’s about 6pm now and I’m sincerely beat. Was worth it though – fun interview! Anyways, Just got done editing images for three reviews and now readying posts. Tomorrow is Friday and seems like I ought to do some reviews, so I think I will. I get ’em ready to go the night before, you see. Well, let’s give this one a try!
#4139: Prince Katsu Hello Kitty Spicy Noodle Soup – United States
This is an interesting one. It appears this is a variety made just for the United States by Taiwanese company A-Sha, however it is produced in Vietnam. What’s more interesting is that it’s a Hello Kitty licensed product and it’s spicy – better do a mukbang! How spicy could it be with the cutesy factor? We’ll find out.
#4136: Lost The Pot Noodle Roast Chicken Flavour – United Kingdom
This one comes by way of my good friend (who actually was Knighted) from the UK I met via the Ramen Junkies group a little while ago. Thank you, bro! I’m a huge fan of British varieties and especially interesting ones from Pot Noodle. Let’s see if this one is as bland as he says it is. Sadly, I have no tinned pangolin to add to this one, Sir JB will be happy to see the absence of corn.
#4135: Menraku Japanese Ramen “Chili Tomato” Taste – United States
I got two of these in quick succession – the first from James in Lakside, CA and the other from a subscription box out of California as well from Exotic Noods.

#4122: Simply Food HODL Noodle – Vietnam
Okay so bear with me because I’m very clueless about crypto currency. I looked up HODL and it stands for Hold On for Dear Life – basically, hold onto your crypto to make money. It also says Stonkz on the side –
#4114: Naked Chinese Style Orange Chicken Flavor – United Kingdom
Well this was a nice surprise – British noodles at a local store? Unteresting the new things I’m starting to see around here. I rarely get UK varieties – I enjoy reviewing them a lot, too. Let’s check this one out and see what’s up.
#4111: immi Spicy “Beef” Flavor Ramen Soup – United States
Pumpkin seed noodles – it just fascinated me, especially since I’ve been doing weird things with bread. Now I want a noodle machine to load with all sorts of interesting things… Very curious how this oe will turn out. Last time, they were on the extremely chewy side and so we will see. Let’s give these low carb noodles a try!

Here’s an interesting one from Japan found in a Zenpop box – check out zenpop.jp and use the coupon code RAMENRATER for a discount!
#4101: Nongshim Tonkotsu Ramen With Kuromayu Black Garlic Oil – United States
For the longest time, I only thought there was a single variety of Nongshim’s Tonkotsu bowl – the spicy one. Lo and behold, there’s this one with black garlic oil as well. What’s more, I think both exist concurrently. The spicy one has a five star rating from me and is at the top of the USA top ten. Let’s check this new one out!
#4100: Vite Ramen Vegan White Miso v1.3 Prototype – United States
This is the last of the prototypes Vite sent me. These have been really good! Curious if I’ll like this one too. What a week – I’ve been deep diving into pumpkin spice noodles for the past 4 days and while I thoroughly enjoyed them, this will be a welcome change. Let’s give this a try!
#4097: Aces Sriracha Ramen Noodle Soup Extra Spicy – United States
Was digging around in my hampers and found I hadn’t reviewed this extra spicy variety and thought to myself ‘it’s time.’ So, since I thought that, it must be. Let’s give it a try.
#4096: Artisan Instant Noodles Artificial Beef Flavor – China
Here’s the second of the Artisan branded varieties I’ve come across recently. Neat flower pot style big cups with a ton of sachets within. I think I found this at Asian Family Market on 130th Aurora in Shoreline. Let’s check it out.
