Nongshim Chapagetti Chajang Noodle, 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 10)

My absolute favorite spicy ramen noodles.

These are amazing if you cook them right. It's not soup, to much water will make it bland. Cook it in a pot on the stove and just throw everything in together. Use just enough water to cover the noodles. Add chili flakes if you like spice.

NongShim please never stop making Chapagetti, it is some really good ramen!! In fact nearly all the different NongShim products I have tried have been excellent! Think of Chapagetti as a ramen version of beef stew. It's even better w/ peas, carrots, onion, green beans, garlic, etc. When made correctly, it is thick and very good. It comes with no less than 3 packets and the noodles are a tad thicker than normal ramen with great texture. It's a rather filling ramen too. For Nognshim's version of Chapagetti be sure to follow their directions. Too much water and it will turn out watery and not that good. From experimentation with countless packs I have found an easy way to make awesome Chapagetti. Use a standard coffee cup of water and add all the ingredients, do not drain any water off after cooking. Next, follow the microwave directions and once it's done in the microwave, stir it a bunch and let it thicken up over a couple minutes as it cools. After that, it's ready and will be like thick gravy all over the noodles and tastes like many magic lucky happy friendship times! Try it, why not!

I used to get these at military commissaries, but after I left the service, Amazon hooked me up. This always arrives fresh and the taste after preparation is always top notch. I bring it to the next level with a slice of american cheese that melts into the sauce at the end, and a bit of hot sauce. Reminder that this is a more dry and concentrated soup base, so you have to eliminate a good amount of the noodles' cooking water before adding the base packet. I leave a small amount of water because I do like how it turns out with a little bit of water vs completely dry. Will always buy again as I have the last six times.

I grew up eating these and was excited to see these on Amazon. But from the last time I ordered them, the price has for some reason gone up $5 (from 17.76 to 22.99) for a pack of 10, which for me nullifies the convenience of getting them on Amazon - if you like them, it's probably more cost-effective to buy from a Korean grocery store if there's one near you. Like many other reviews have noted, you're supposed to drain most of the water and then mix the powder in very thoroughly, so you get a thicker sauce that covers the noodles; otherwise it'll be watery and bland. Complemented very well by kimchi (or pickled radish, a traditional accompaniment to jjajangmyun).

Personally I love Chapagetti. I decided to stock up & ordered a larger quantity. It came with a decent expiration date window. My only complaint is that the shipping method was just a bag. Which meant the dried noodles got pretty beat up. Some things I receive from Amazon are ridiculously over packaged, yet this seemed ridiculously under packaged. Just a heads up if you love your noodles.

WARNING: contains wheat, peanut, soy, and shrimp! If you enjoy Jajangmyeon or Chajang Myung, and want a quick instant noodle that's similar, then these are as close as you'll probably get in America. If you're looking for a typical western style ramen, this is NOT it. These are thicker spaghetti style chewy noodles in a Chinese black bean sauce (usually fermented. YUMMY!) If cooked according to directions, the sauce will be thick and not soupy! It's delicious. Each pack comes with a big serving of noodles, a seasoning packet, oil packet, and veggies packet.

I can't pronounce it right, but my mouth doesn't care. At all. I love this stuff. Not sure why it's compared to spaghetti, it's basically just a slightly thicker ramen than usual, which is awesome. I can tweak the amount of water I cook it with for thinner or thicker sauce, and the sauce rules. Oil is in a separate pack so I can adjust how much I want of it too. It's not spicy at all which I prefer...I can add in heat however I want. And if that wasn't enough, it's got somewhere near 1/3 less sodium than the average ramen. Thanks, beans.

Nongshim un must have dans toutes les cuisines ! Extrêmement savoureux, absolument pas épicé, mais un goût unique !
