Noodle Journey is an episodic review series in which we learn all about instant noodle brands and products and then do a deep dive into the noodle quality, spice level, and overall flavor. All reviews are as thorough as possible. The noodles are cooked according to the manufacturer's instructions using only the contents of the product package unless otherwise indicated. This ensures that the review is as unbiased as possible and evaluates whether or not I think a product is worth a purchase either as a standalone meal or as a base that you could spruce up. Each review represents my personal opinions and is for informational/entertainment purposes only. I am not responsible for how the information is interpreted or used. Ramen Bae recently came out with this Ramen Hot Sauce, which looks suspiciously like a chili crisp despite the branding. Is this worth the $14 asking price? Check out this review for all the info.

Ramen Bae Dried Enoki Mushroom Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode
I’m reviewing the second of Ramen Bae’s new April 2024 products: Ramen Bae Dried Enoki Mushroom. Enoki mushrooms are those long, delicate strands you often find in Asian soups and hot pots, adding crunch and a mild, sweet mushroom flavor. They’re fantastic to cook with, but fresh enoki usually has a short shelf life and isn’t easy to find. I’ve got one Asian market about half an hour away that sells them, and they only last around a week before going bad. Ramen Bae’s dried version solves that problem with a pack that stays shelf-stable for over a year.
Ramen Bae Kimchi Mix Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode
Ramen Bae has released another mix, and this time it’s one I’ve been waiting for: Ramen Bae Kimchi Mix. After their earlier Spicy Garlic Mix showed promise but stumbled on its overuse of subpar dehydrated egg, the company listened to feedback and reworked future batches. Seeing that kind of responsiveness made me eager to try their newest products, especially this one, which promises classic kimchi flavor in a shelf-stable form.
Ramen Bae Dried Japanese Fish Cake aka Narutomaki Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode
Ramen Bae Dried Japanese Fish Cake aka Narutomaki is a stealth release that slipped out sometime between their Veggie Mix and Spicy Garlic Mix. I completely missed it until recently and decided it deserved a review. While the Spicy Garlic Mix disappointed me, this one looked promising. And yes, to be clear, the full name of the product is indeed "Dried Japanese Fish Cake aka Narutomaki" as printed on the bag, which is kind of a mouthful but I guess it covers all of their bases.
Ramen Bae Spicy Garlic Mix Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode
Ramen Bae Spicy Garlic Mix launched on February 1, 2024, after months of teasing, and I grabbed a pack the second it became available on their site. I’ve recommended Ramen Bae countless times on Reddit whenever people ask how to spruce up their noodles, and I’ve reviewed both their Classic Seafood & Vegetables Mix and their Veggie Mix in past reviews. Both were solid products worth your attention if you like the ingredients.
Ramen Bae Veggie Mix Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode
Today I’m reviewing another noodle supplement from Ramen Bae - this time, their completely vegan and gluten-free Ramen Bae Veggie Mix. I’ve covered Ramen Bae before in my review of their Classic Seafood and Vegetables Mix, which launched to a great reception after they sought feedback on Reddit. Many people immediately requested a vegetarian alternative without seafood, and this variety, released in June 2023, is the result. As with the previous version, this mix is designed to stir into any cup or bagged noodles for an extra boost of toppings.
Ramen Bae Classic Seafood and Vegetables Mix Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode
For this supplemental review, I’m looking at Ramen Bae Classic Seafood and Vegetables Mix, a product designed to give your instant noodles a serious upgrade in toppings without a trip to the store. Ramen Bae is a small business that first popped up on Reddit earlier in 2023, went viral on TikTok, and quickly sold out of their first batch, followed by some distribution issues that commonly plague new businesses. They’ve since resolved their supply chain hiccups, and at the time of this review, their site is restocked.
