The first thing noticed after cooking these noodles is a strong vegetable and seaweed smell. Despite the suggested 4-minute cook time, even after cooking them for 5 minutes, the noodles were not quite done.
Produced in the United States.
The appearance of the broth is promising. It looks like a miso soup, but I found it to be bland. There’s almost no taste.
The noodles are made of organic rice and it’s a green seaweed color. I would cook it for 6 minutes to fully cook.
To give this ramen the flavor it desperately needs, I would add a good amount of salt and some miso flavoring to boost the umami. I think adding shrimp would also be a great idea for protein and to complement the subtle seafood notes.

Frequently Asked Questions
For the spice level, my friend James, who taste tests the ramens with me, gives his rating out of 5 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!
That’s how thick or thin the broth is. A 1/5 would be very watery, while a 5/5 would be super thick and almost syrupy.
This is just a general gauge of how thick the noodles are compared to other instant ramen noodles I’ve tried. A 1/5 would be very thin, like vermicelli, and a 5/5 would be very thick and wide.
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.
