Nongshim Vegan Curry Noodles Review | Noodle Journey Episode 172

Nongshim Vegan Curry Noodles Review | Noodle Journey Episode 172

I’m checking out Nongshim Vegan Curry Noodles, a new bowl that has been showing up in Walmart and Sam’s Club stores across the US. I’m always interested when Nongshim America releases a new flavor, because that’s how we ended up getting Shin Gold, Shin Green, and the tonkotsu bowls, all of which turned out really well. This vegan curry flavor is a new addition to that lineup, and the packaging doesn’t specify what kind of curry it’s trying to emulate. Since the ingredient list doesn’t offer many clues, the only sensible path forward is to cook it and find out.

Samyang Picantia Noodle Soup Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 171

Samyang Picantia Noodle Soup Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 171

I’m taking a look at the Samyang Picantia Noodle Soup line in this mega-review, a trio of fusion flavors clearly designed with a Hispanic theme in mind. This is a pretty big shift compared to their usual Buldak lineup, so I'm very curious to see what a Korean company does with a Hispanic-inspired product line. The Jalapeno Chicken and Chipotle Beef flavors feel like a natural fit for the new branding, although the Cajun Shrimp option left me scratching my head at first because it doesn't quite seem to match the rest of the theme. But as I learned right before filming, Cajun cuisine actually does have Spanish roots even if some of us don’t normally associate those cultures together, and that does help explain why Samyang included it in this particular product line.

Nissin Geki Fiery Hot Chicken Flavor Noodles Review | Noodle Journey Episode 169

Nissin Geki Fiery Hot Chicken Flavor Noodles Review | Noodle Journey Episode 169

Nissin Geki Fiery Hot Chicken Flavor is finally hitting US shelves, marking the debut of Nissin’s chili-infused Geki line for the American market. Manufactured at Nissin’s California facility, this product isn’t just a repackaged version of the Indian or Indonesian releases (Geki's original marketing region), but rather it’s a new recipe designed specifically for current US trends. The idea is straightforward yet ambitious: chili flakes are fried directly into the noodles during production, creating a built-in heat source rather than relying entirely on the seasoning packet. It’s a clever concept and one that even Samyang, the company behind Buldak, hasn’t attempted. Given the timing and the marketing, it’s clear that Nissin wants this to stand as its answer to the Buldak craze.

Dollar Store Instant Noodle Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 168

Dollar Store Instant Noodle Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 168

In this Dollar Store Instant Noodle Mega-Review, I’m diving into four ramen bowls that have been showing up in Dollar Tree stores across the US: Thai Authentic Sriracha Shrimp Ramen, Thai Authentic Chicken Curry Ramen, Norita Roasted Pork Tonkotsu Ramen with Miso, and Norita Tempura Udon Shrimp Soy Sauce Noodle Soup. I found all four of these at Dollar Tree for $1.25 each. These are all made in Thailand and imported by the same Kentucky company, so the two brands are essentially one and the same. Packaging is cheap and generic looking, but as you're about to learn, you should never judge a book by its cover, or a noodle by its packaging.

Ramen Toppers Vegetable Mix for Noodles Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode

Ramen Toppers Vegetable Mix for Noodles Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode

After re-reviewing Ramen Toppers’ Chashu Pork, Fish Cake, and Vegetable Mix and awarding it a perfect score, I was excited to try their other major product: the Ramen Toppers Vegetable Mix for Noodles. This mix contains the same vegetables found in the Chashu blend - peas, corn, cabbage, carrots, and green onion - but without the meat or fish elements, making it completely vegan. Ramen Toppers sent me this canister at the same time as the Chashu sample so I could evaluate both.
