Noodle Journey Episode 115: Paldo Gompaghetti

Notes since filming:

Another review where I seem to be in the minority opinion. Lots of people really love this one. I do not, but it’s solely because sometimes artificial meat flavor rubs me the wrong way due to excessive yeast flavor, and that was abundant here. If that doesn’t bother you, buy this and see if you like it more than I did.

Original video description:

Paldo’s Gompaghetti promises a blend of Korean and Italian flavors in an artificial beef-and-black-pepper sauce. Check out this review to see if this interesting concept actually works as a recipe!

Noodle Journey Episode 111: Momofuku Spicy Chili Noodles

Notes since filming:

Whatever you may think of David Chang and Momofuku, this is the best sauce out of all of their products, and I will die on the opinion that is that hill.

Original video description:

This is the second of Momofuku’s two new flavors as of August 2023. Based on the ingredients, this seems pretty redundant with the Tingly Chili Wavy Noodles, so you might be wondering if this is different in any appreciable way. Don’t worry, Noodle Journey is here for you. Watch the review to learn all about this new flavor!

Noodle Journey Episode 109: Nongshim Soon Veggie Noodle Soup

Notes since filming:

While Soon is really good and far more widely available, if you can find Samyang’s Vegetasty, it is a far superior vegan noodle product in the same style as this one.

Original video description:

Surprised that it’s taken me this long to get around to reviewing this one? Me too! Soon is a pretty popular vegan option from Nongshim that promises lots of veggie flavor. Does it live up to the hype? Let’s find out!
