Ottogi Jin Ramen has been around in Korea for a long time, right up there with Nongshim’s Shin Ramyun. This is the Mild version. There’s also a Spicy one.
Produced in South Korea by Ottogi Ramyon Co., Ltd.
What’s in the Package
Inside the yellow foil pouch you’ll find a square block of wavy wheat noodles, one silver and blue “Powder Soup” seasoning packet, and one smaller blue and white “Dehydrated Vegetable Mix” packet.
How to Cook Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild
- Add the vegetable mix to 550ml of water and bring it to a boil.
- Add the noodle block and the soup powder.
- Boil for 4 minutes, stirring now and then, then serve.
How Does It Taste
This is a good bowl. The first thing we said was that it’s delicious. It tastes like a milder Shin Ramyun with more of a mushroom flavor, and the mushroom tastes more premium than I expected from a โmildโ pack.
The spice is mild. You can tell there’s chili in it, but it’s less spicy than Shin. If Shin Ramyun is too hot for you, try this one.
I really like the noodles. They’re chewy and bouncy. The dried veggies come back fine and add a little color.
How Does It Compare
The obvious comparison is Nongshim Shin Ramyun, the Korean ramyun most people think of first. Jin Ramen Mild is the lower-spice sibling in the Korean red-broth category. The Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild with Beef Bone Broth tastes more like beef.
If you want the classic spicy Korean bowl, get Shin. If you want it milder with more mushroom flavor, get Jin Mild.
How to Level Up Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild
Add an egg while it cooks. Crack it into the pot in the last minute and stir gently so you get egg ribbons in the broth.
If you have thin-sliced meat or meatballs, stir them into the broth while the noodles cook.
Final Verdict
Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild is a really well-executed Korean red-broth pack. James and I both said we’d buy this one again, and it’d be a regular rotation pick.
