Hot Pot Noodles Bulgogi Flavour
Hot Pot Noodles Bulgogi Flavour
Nongshim takes the rich, sweet, salty magic of Korean bulgogi BBQ and wraps it around thin, chewy noodles. Enjoy it as a soup or drain the water for a soupless experience — both versions deliver that authentic Korean comfort. If you're a fan of Korean BBQ, this one will feel like coming home. Imported from Korea.
- Choose your style
This noodle works two ways. For soupless, you will boil then drain. For soup, you keep the water as broth. Pick your style before you start, because the water amount and cook time are different for each method.
- Boil the water
For soupless, bring 500ml of water to the boil. For soup, use 300ml instead. Once the water is at a rolling boil, add the noodles and vegetable flakes to the pot and let them start cooking straight away.
- Cook the noodles
For soupless, cook for 2 minutes then drain all the water. For soup, cook for 3.5 minutes and keep the broth in the pot. Either way, take the saucepan off the heat before you move on to the next step.
- Add the seasoning
Add the soup base sachet and stir well until everything is mixed through completely. The sweet, savoury bulgogi flavour really comes alive when the seasoning is fully dissolved and coating every noodle evenly.
- Serve and enjoy
Transfer to a bowl and serve straight away while it is hot. The rich, sweet bulgogi flavour pairs beautifully with a sunny side up egg, some sweet corn, or a handful of fresh green beans on top.
Background
Every packet has a story behind it. Here's where this one comes from, what makes it tick, and why it made the cut for the box.
Nongshim is South Korea's largest noodle manufacturer, founded in 1965. Their Shin Ramyun is the best-selling Korean ramen worldwide. The company prides itself on using real vegetables and robust seasoning in every product.
Korean ramyun culture is distinct from Japanese ramen. The noodles are typically chewier, the broths spicier, and the flavours bolder. Korean ramyun is usually cooked in a pot rather than a cup, and sharing a pot of ramyun is a social ritual.
Served soupless, the sauce is the star. A concentrated blend that coats every strand of noodle with rich, full flavour. Without broth to dilute things, every bite hits with the complete flavour profile, making each mouthful more intense than a traditional soup ramen.
Chewy, springy noodles built for a soupless format. The texture is designed to hold sauce on every surface rather than swimming in broth. After draining, the noodles grip the seasoning tightly, so the flavour stays concentrated and consistent with every bite.
Shoyu ramen is the oldest style of ramen in Japan, dating back to the early 1900s in Tokyo. The soy sauce-based broth is typically clear, brown, and deeply savoury. It was the default ramen style across Japan before regional variations took off.
This is one of those noodles that consistently earns its spot in our lineup. It does not need a gimmick or a viral moment to sell, it just tastes great. The kind of bowl that people order once and then quietly keep reordering. Understated quality at its best.
Topping Suggestions
A few toppings that take this bowl from good to great. Most are already in your kitchen, and every one is optional.
Corn
Sweet corn kernels offer a burst of natural sweetness, providing a refreshing and crisp counterbalance to the noodles' savory notes.
Green Beans
Green beans add a crisp, slightly sweet crunch to instant noodles, providing a fresh and light contrast to the savory noodle base.
Fried Egg
A fried egg brings crispy, golden edges and a runny yolk that melts into the broth for a rich, savoury finish.
