Oriental vs. Soy Sauce Ramen Review

Journal by takyon

I saw these two Maruchan ramen packets next to each other at a Walmart, and decided to taste test them.


They taste the same, and they are the same. There's nothing to review.

Oriental had a 2015 copyright date, 2019 for Soy Sauce. Both had a similar expiration date, probably August 2020.

Soy Sauce is clearly the politically correct rebranding. The competitor, Nissin (Top Ramen), did the same.

Bring back Mushroom flavor, you fucks!

    I don't usually make a soup out of these. Instead I put stir-fry type ingredients on the cooked drained noodles, make it into yakisoba, or whatever.

    I like to incorporate some kimchi too, since I'm making it by the 2-gallon bucket.

    I generally use less liquid than is called for, but I do enjoy the broth as well. But I am a soup guy.

    Just the noodles with added stuff is tasty too though.

    I've used kimchi at times as well which adds a very nice flavor.

    I do generally cook just for me and eat what I cook when I make it.

    But if you're making enough for multiple meals, draining the liquid (as you're well aware) makes a lot of sense as the noodles will keep absorbing the liquid until they are just mush. Yuck.
