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.

This brand of instant udon noodles are my absolute favorite and I’ve been cooking them for years! The broth is delicious, not too salty. I think the beauty about this brand is you can make each pack to your own liking, and because the flavor packets are not overwhelming in too strong of notes. They’re refreshing. Noodles have a nice bounce not mushy at all. This brand has a “microwave bowl” version often found at asian marts, which I do not recommend. Boiling the noodles in water is the way to go! I always opt for cherry tomatoes, spinach, shiitake mushrooms and a sprinkle of S&B’s shichimi togarashi spice on top. 😋
