Momofuku Tingly Chili Wavy Noodles Review | Noodle Journey Episode 7

As promised back in Episode 4, I finally get my hands on Momofuku Tingly Chili Wavy Noodles. At the time of review, all three Momofuku noodle flavors had recently come back in stock after a long absence. This Tingly Chili variety is a different noodle recipe than the other Momofuku varieties, with a visibly wavier, flatter cut. And as I learned this time around, it comes with a serious pedigree: the noodles are co-developed with A-Sha (yes, the same A-Sha behind their own popular Taiwanese-style noodles), though it's unclear exactly who contributes what.

Paldo Premium Gomtang Review | Noodle Journey Episode 6

There are actually two versions of Paldo’s Gomtang on the market: a standard variety in more gold-colored packaging and a “Premium” version. This review focuses on the premium one, which is supposedly a step up in richness and depth. Gomtang itself is a traditional Korean soup made by simmering beef bones, brisket, and other cuts for hours to create a rich, milky broth. It’s not spicy, but it’s comforting, the kind of soup you reach for when you're sick or need something mellow and warm. It leans heavily on garlic and beef flavor, and it’s usually served with rice, noodles, or both.

Nongshim Shin Ramyun Review | Noodle Journey Episode 1

Welcome to the first review here on Noodle Journey! I am a total noodle novice, and I recently purchased a shitload of instant noodles from the Internet and I decided to document my experiences trying them and let you know which ones are worth a purchase. Nongshim Shin Ramyun is colloquially referred to on the Internet as Nongshim Red, Shin Red, or some variation thereof. I’ve always had instant noodles in my pantry, but it wasn’t until the Covid pandemic began that I started to explore more high-end offerings. And while most of what I’ll be reviewing will be the first time I’m having it, this is not the case here, and I’m starting with this one for a good reason because it is probably the standard to which I hold all other spicy Korean instant ramyun soups. This is one of the noodles I ordered completely blind one fateful day last year that started me on this path to instant noodle heaven.
