Nongshim Shin Ramyun Black Premium Noodle Soup has been a staple in my ramen menu for several years and I wanted to do it justice. These wondrous noodles generally cost almost twice as much as their red counterpart. The front rightfully claims “Premium Noodles Soup”.
Contents
Opening the package you will encounter three pretty large sachets of seasoning and dried veggies. Why so many? Why so large? Good questions considering the front of the packaging also claims that there is no msg added.
Noodles
The noodle puck is large and the noodles somewhat think and very light colored.
Seasoning
I like that Nongshim tells be what the various packages inside are for. This one simply says soup base but is similar to the Nongshim Red when opened. The outside clearly says Black though.
The other seasoning sachet says Sul-Tang Soup Base and a quick Google search yields information that tells me this is an ox-bone soup base.
Veggies
The veggies in this package are large and when re-hydrated look pretty legit. I found slices of garlic, spring onions, mushrooms and kimchi. All contents looked premium for an instant noodle.
Ruling
I’ve been slurping Nongshim Shin Ramyun Black Premium Noodle Soup for several years now as I mentioned previously. I love the souop consistency, complexity in flavor and the veggies. It is a little spicy and the flavor is really good. There is a black pepper taste I think that really makes this soup balanced and a pleasure to eat. Please try some for yourself and ignore the slightly higher price as they’re worth it.
Little slice of mushrooms splendor found and many others later.
