Noodle Journey Supplement Review: Ramen Bae Kimchi Mix

Notes since filming:

If you held a gun to my head and asked me to pick my favorite Ramen Bae mix, it’s this one. It pairs perfectly with 99% of the Korean noodles that are out there, it’s not crazy spicy, and the ingredient quality is top-notch. I’ve personally used this Kimchi Mix more than any of their other flavors.
