#035 NONG SHIM Neoguri Spicy Seafood Udon Noodles
Woke up starving one morning…er…afternoon and what better way to satisfy my hunger than with a tasty bowl of noodles? After standing in front of the the noodle closet for what seemed like forever because I could not decide, (everything looked so good!) I finally chose the spicy seafood flavor udon from Nongshim. The fun thing about this noodle is the round shape that fits perfectly in the pot. As with all Korean brand instant noodles, I find the noodles are on the very al dente side so I like to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes. This gets the noodes soft and chewy just the way I like it. The additional cooking time allows the noodles to soak up a lot of the broth. Because these are udon style noodles, they are a bit thicker which makes it a perfect broth soaker upper. Yum. The broth has a very strong seafood taste but the spicy is more on the mild side. The dominate flavors that come through are squid and garlic. I added only a handful of dried shitake to the soup and garnished with purple cabbage and green onions.

if you consider these only mildly spicy I’m nervous to try what you consider extremely spicy. I just got done with a bowl of these and my lips are numb.
i must say that i do like a ridiculous amount of spice. i love the rush. : )
I was indifferent to these before giving them a second chance and dumping a can of tuna into them. Wow! These noodles become truly awesome when you do that. Give it a try!
This may be my new favorite now. And I love Shin Raymun with veggies and an egg.
