The first thing you notice with this Cielo Pozole Instant Ramen Noodle Soup is a really nice hit of oregano fragrance. It’s similar to the oregano in the Menudo ramen bowl.

Produced in Vietnam.

The broth also has this vibrant color that’s a really appealing way to start. I actually quite enjoyed the spice blend in this one; it had a good warmth. The broth itself has this pleasant sourness that’s balanced out by a subtle sweetness, and there’s even a little hint of cinnamon in there, which adds a cool warmth. Plus, the salt level was just right, enhancing all those savory flavors.

To make this pozole-inspired ramen even better, I’m thinking some shredded chicken would add great protein and texture. Even though the spice level is pretty mild, maybe a 1 out of 5, the depth of flavor in the broth makes this a satisfying experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine the spice level?

For the spice level, my friend James, who taste tests the ramens with me, gives his rating out of 10 based on his experience with the heat. My own spice tolerance tends to be higher than most, so James’s rating gives a more general sense of the spiciness. Keep in mind that spice is still subjective, so what’s mild for him might be spicy for you, and vice versa!

What does “Broth Viscosity” mean?

That’s how thick or thin the broth is. A 1/10 would be very watery, while a 10/10 would be super thick and almost syrupy.

How do you rate “Noodle Thickness”?

This is just a general gauge of how thick the noodles are compared to other instant ramen noodles I’ve tried. A 1/10 would be very thin, like vermicelli, and a 10/10 would be very thick and wide.

What do you mean by “Noodle Type”?

Here, I’m just describing the style or texture of the noodles, like “udon-like” for a chewy and thick noodle, or “thin and curly” for a more classic instant ramen style.
