Shoyu is a Japanese word for soy sauce. Although this noodle is soy sauce based it’s not going to be very salty since it’s diluted with dashi and chicken/pork broth. It has a light soy sauce umami flavour and it is perfect for a quick lunch with ramen egg and bamboo shoots.

The classic Korean ramen must be the Nongshim original Shin Ramyun. This usually serves as our hangover cure with bacon and fried egg because it is quite spicy. It also has a great umami note from shiitake mushrooms.

Samyang is also a very classic Ramen brand in Korea. This soup is slightly different than Shin with a little ham flakes. Try it with some pan fried Spam and kimchi!

Available in Spicy (Red bag) and Mild (Orange bag). This is relatively similar to the Shin and Samyang Ramen. Korean ramen soup base typically contain anchovies, meat and shiitake mushroom. Try it with our dumplings!

Gomtang is a flavourful Korean beef bone broth made with oxtail and shank bones. It is rich and creamy, perfect with seared pork belly and vegetables.

JML - Jin Mai Lang is an instant foods company from Hebei China. This is a savoury noodle with scallions and roast pork spare ribs. Chinese ramen noodles are thinner than Korean ones so it takes less time to cook. Try it with our dumplings!

We love this noodle for the bag of pickles that comes in a bag. This is a classic noodle from Taiwan. Beef flavoured soup with sour pickles gives you a savoury/ sour sensation. Make this better by boiling a few pieces of thinly sliced beef just before the noodles are ready!

Made in Hong Kong! Fiona practically grew up with this. Delicious and dependable. These noodles are perfect cooking just al dente to retain some chewiness. Perfect for Hong Kong Cafe style Beef Satay Noodles!

This is a little different than the Japanese Tonkotsu ramen above. They both have a rich pork soup base but this one has a small amount of sesame for some added nutty flavour. I feel like you need ramen eggs for this one.

This is Fiona’s absolute favourite! The holy grail of ramen out there, which combines the richness of the Tonkotsu ramen with a delicious drizzle of black garlic oil. Enjoy it plain or with a wide variety of easy-made ramen toppings.
