#5362: Cheetos Mac’n Cheese Buffalo – United States

#5362: Cheetos Mac'n Cheese Buffalo - United States

Today is a special day! The video at the bottom will be my 2,600th episode of Instant Noodle Recipe Time. Yep – I’m done a ton of em and just keep doing em. I figured I would review this ramen. You might say ‘that’s not ramen.’ Well, in the United States it qualifies. I cite the Totino’s Pizza Ramen. It calls itself ramen however on the ingredients it says it is paste. This says it’s macaroni but it’s clearly rotini. It recommends topping with broccoli, shredded cheese, and Cheetos. Let’s cook up this ramen with buffalo sauce flavor and go straight to hell. ...see full post

#5354: Paldo Delicious Green Tea Noodle – United States

#5354: Paldo Delicious Green Tea Noodle - United States

So as I type this, it’s Cinco De Mayo. My eyes are watery and I’m sneezing. Really allergied out. This variety was chatted about with friends in the Section 42 mod group – the admins for Ramen Junkies. I decided I’d re-review it; new package, over ten years… Last time, it made my bottom ten. Oh wow – more than ten years – it was review 161! So that’s 15 years ago. Sheesh!  This one’s made in South Korea and packaged for US sale. Let’s give it another try – maybe I’ll like it now? ...see full post

#5543: Nissin Cup Noodles Pumpkin Pie Flavor Ramen Noodles In Sauce - United States

Hey look at this one! Big thank you to my wife Kit for getting me this! Only at Walmart. So, haven’t we gone through this before? Yes and no. Yes, it’s identical in every way to the pumpkin spicy flavor Cup Noodles – except one little thing. The name. They changed the name from spice to pie – why? I don’t know. New barcode now as well. To see both and a myriad of weird things to do with it, check out my definitive guide here. I’m gonna do it up real pretty. Let’s do it up! ...see full post

#5329: Sapporo Ichiban X Marutai Hakata-Style Original Tonkotsu Flavor Ramen – United States

#5329: Sapporo Ichiban X Marutai Hakata-Style Original Tonkotsu Flavor Ramen - United States

It should be noted that this is being posted on National Noodle Day – October 6th, 2025. I didn’t really see anything pointing for the reason for the inception of this day. All I find are things about noodles. Anyways, I guess every day is National Noodle Day over here. ...see full post

#5309: Dragon Express Ramen Low Sodium Hot & Spicy Vegetable – United States

#5309: Dragon Express Ramen Low Sodium Hot & Spicy Vegetable - United States

Here’s another one from James of Lakeside California – thanks again! I was pleasantly surprised with the chicken flavor from this range – not bad. Doesn’t make we interested in going to prison though – these will generally only be sold to people who are in prison. My guess is this  range wasn’t so popular or an order wasn’t picked up. It’s in Grocery Outlet all over the place at the moment. Let’s give it a try! ...see full post

#5289: Samyang Sweet Buldak Spicy Ramen Big Bowl – United States

#5477: Samyang Sweet Buldak Spicy Ramen Big Bowl - United States

I actually ordered this off of YamiBuy which is something I never do but I wanted to give this a go. I’m guessing it won’t be incredibly spicy and I don’t know if or what to pair with it. Dessert ramen? I mean, there’s candy references all over it… Maybe a little chicken though. Let’s cook! ...see full post

#5262: Bibigo Squid Game Tteokbokki Rice Cake With Sweet & Spicy Sauce – United States

#5262: Bibigo Squid Game Tteokbokki Rice Cake With Sweet & Spicy Sauce - United States

We were at HMart and saw these – couldn’t resist. Who could resist a nice plate of tteokbokki in between watching people get slaughtered while playing children’s games? I’m hopeful on this one; I really like tteokbokki. I should also mention – this is my 2,500th episode of Instant Noodle recipe Time – it’s down at the bottom. I forgot about that, so episode 2,501 will have a little more about that. Let’s give it a try. ...see full post
