This Maruchan Soy Sauce Ramen Noodle flavor profile is predominantly salty and MSG-forward. I would say there’s just a hint of soy sauce flavor. The broth is thin and this is just another straightforward one-note flavor ramen.
Produced in the United States. Distributed by Japan.
To elevate this, I’d suggest adding some bamboo shoots for a bit of crunch. Any type of egg would work well, perhaps some delicate egg ribbons. Adding both green and regular white onions would also enhance the flavor. Fresh greens will also help cut through the salty flavor.

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.
