What’s in the Package

Inside the Immi Black Garlic Chicken Ramen package, you will find a rectangular block of noodles alongside a seasoning packet.

How to Cook Immi Black Garlic Chicken Ramen

Because these noodles are high in protein and fiber, they don’t soften as easily as standard ramen.

1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
2. Add the noodles and cook for 3 minutes if you like them chewy or 4 minutes if you like them soft.
3. Put the noodles and 1 cup of the cooking water in a bowl.
4. Add the soup base to the bowl. Stir and eat.

How Does It Taste

The first thing you notice is the smell. It’s strong, and it comes from the pea protein. It tastes better than it smells, but it has a very particular taste.

The noodles are made with pea protein, and you can taste it. If you’ve had the Immi Creamy Chicken or the Immi Spicy Red Miso, you know what to expect. It’s not for everyone.

This one wasn’t my jam. I get what Immi is trying to do, and the nutrition numbers are good, but the flavor isn’t there for me. Still, I get why people who want a high protein noodle buy it.

How Does It Compare

The Immi Creamy Chicken and Spicy Red Miso both have more flavor. The noodles are the same across all three. If you’re trying Immi for the first time, the Spicy Red Miso has the most flavor.

How to Level Up Immi Black Garlic Chicken Ramen

Kimchi would be great. So would seared meat, real chicken or some deli meat. Since the noodle is the healthy part, you can also go the other way with toppings. A little cheese, a hot dog, some sausage, even potato chips on top.

Final Verdict

The Immi Black Garlic Chicken Ramen is for people who care more about nutrition than flavor. The protein numbers are good, but the pea protein smell is strong and the taste is very particular. It wasn’t for me. If you do get it, add kimchi and some real meat.
