Nongshim Tantanmen Ramen with Chili Oil in bowl package

This ramen’s packaging looks different from other Nongshim brands, so much so that I didn’t realize it was Nongshim at first glance. It comes with a soup base powder packet and a chili oil packet.

Produced in South Korea.

Looking at the broth, you can’t really tell it’s a creamy ramen. But it comes through quite strongly with the saltiness. You can also taste seaweed towards the end of your bite which adds some depth to the broth. If you want convenient and quick Tantanmen, I think this is a solid choice.

I’d add a soft-boiled egg, fresh green onions, and some kimchi to brighten up the bowl.
