Picked up some new varieties to nom on, pic related. Was pleasantly surprised to notice that the ones with waifus on the packs are actually vegetarian, the shrimp/fish flavour is artificial. Lucky I didn't just take it for granted by the front text and stuff shown on the package.
A real simple and fast way to spruce up cheap somewhat bland/boring noodles is some lao gan ma chili oil (I think the one with peanuts in it is the best), just a teaspoon on top and mix in. Makes them almost comparable to luxury packets, though you don't get the variety of flavour.
>>906My favourite noodles ever are the Nongshim Seafood Ramyun. Thicc chewy noodles and the broth is on point. Just spicy enough. Great with steamed cabbage. Hope I can find something vegetarian as good, the other Nongshim stuff I've had (kimchi and veggie) while good doesn't quite meet the same standard.
