This instant ramen is a pleasant surprise because it is not as salty as the previous pork flavor package we tried. However, like all the Maruchan packages we’ve tried, it does have a strong onion powder flavor.

The noodles hold up well in the hot broth. They can overcook easily though if you cook it in the hot water for too long. This seems like the ramen I would reach for when I’m sick. It’s got that nostalgic chicken soup flavor and it’s easy to add most ingredients to it.
To build on this base, I would add some fried garlic and fried onion. A dash of hot sauce would also help elevate the flavor a bit. This is also a great bowl to throw in any leftover meat that you may have in the fridge.

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.
