Maruchan Instant Lunch Chicken Ramen Noodles in cup packaging

Produced in the United States. Distributed by Japan.

This is another instant ramen we had in our pantry growing up along with the Beef flavor. I think my parents loved the convenience of just adding hot water and Vienna sausages and making a meal for us.

I’m immediately hit with with prominent onion powder and MSG flavors right away. While it’s savory, it really needs some extra kick.

To spice things up, a few dashes of Tabasco hot sauce would be perfect. For a more substantial meal, some sliced hotdogs would be a nice addition, and a creamy soft-boiled egg would round it out beautifully.

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 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!

What does “Broth Viscosity” mean?

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.

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 1/5 would be very thin, like vermicelli, and a 5/5 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.
