Noodle Journey Episode 145: Mike’s Mighty Good Craft Ramen Vegetarian Kimchi Ramen Soup

Notes since filming:

It’s a low bar, but I think this is the best flavor Mike’s Mighty Good Ramen has to offer. It feels kind of dirty to admit that, but a good broth is a good broth.

Original video description:

Yes, you read the title correctly: it’s another Mike’s Mighty Good Ramen review! I have not been the biggest fan of Mike’s since the channel started, but maybe something in this Vegetarian Kimchi variety will finally make me a fan. Check out the review!

Noodle Journey Episode 65: Trader Joe’s Instant Ramen Cups

I’m checking out a trio of instant ramen cups currently sold at Trader Joe’s: Miso, Spicy Miso, and Chicken. They sell for $1.69 each at the time of this review and come in light, single-serving cups. These do not exactly appear to be filling, but are priced well below what these usually cost under their original branding. Which brings me to the twist: upon opening the Miso cup, I discovered that these are actually rebranded products from Mike’s Mighty Good Ramen. The oil packet writing gave it away immediately, and sure enough, they’re confirmed to be co-manufactured. If you’re familiar with my past reviews, you know I’ve had my share of issues with Mike’s. That said, the Trader Joe’s versions are cheaper, so if for some reason you like Mike’s ramen, this is the place to buy it.

Noodle Journey Episode 3A: Mike’s Mighty Good Chicken Ramen (Cup)

Since I already cracked open this cup for comparison during my review of Mike’s Fried Garlic Chicken, I figured I might as well eat it too. This one’s just labeled “Chicken Ramen Soup Flavor,” so while there’s some ingredient overlap, it’s a different recipe with no fried garlic this time.
