Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild with Beef Bone Broth

This is the newer Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild with Beef Bone Broth. The package says it’s made with New Zealand beef bone broth simmered for 13 hours. I’ve had the standard Jin Ramen Mild, so I wanted to see what the beef bone broth actually changes.

Produced in South Korea by Ottogi Ramyon Co., Ltd.

What’s in the Package

Inside the blue foil pouch you’ll find a square block of wavy wheat noodles, one blue-and-white “Soup Base” seasoning packet, and one blue-and-white “Veggie Mix Mild” packet with dehydrated cabbage, carrot, green onion, and mushroom.

How to Cook Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild with Beef Bone Broth

1. Add the vegetable mix to 550ml of water and bring it to a boil.
2. Add the noodle block and the soup powder.
3. Boil for 4 minutes, stirring now and then, then serve.

How Does It Taste

I liked this one more than I thought I would. It’s still mild, but it’s got a deep, creamy flavor the original pack doesn’t have. It tastes more like a long-simmered beef broth than a powdered soup base.

Compared to the regular Jin Mild, this one has a lot less of that anchovy, fishy flavor. It’s creamier and beefier instead.

The noodles are chewy. The package says perfect chewiness, and I agree. The veggie mix has cabbage, carrot, green onion, and mushroom. James put the spice at 1 out of 5.

How Does It Compare

The direct comparison is the standard Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild. That one has more anchovy and dried fish flavor. This Beef Bone Broth version is creamier and beefier.

Next to Nongshim Shin Ramyun, both Jin versions are milder. If you want the classic spicy Korean red broth, go with Shin. If you want Jin but creamier and beefier, this is the one to grab.

How to Level Up Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild with Beef Bone Broth

Add an egg. Crack a whole egg into the pot in the last minute, or put a halved soft-boiled egg on top.

Broccoli would be really good in this too. Add a handful of small florets to the pot for the last two minutes.

Final Verdict

Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild with Beef Bone Broth is a step up from the standard Jin Mild. I liked it more than I thought I would. It’s still mild, but the broth has more to it. I’d pick it over the original Jin Mild when I want a creamier, beefier bowl.
