Nongshim Neoguri is one of Korea's most iconic instant noodle brands, consistently popular since its launch in 1982. The biggest difference from regular instant noodles is the thickness of the noodles. Neoguri's noodles are thick and chewy — similar to Japanese udon — offering a completely different experience from the thin instant noodles common in Europe. The broth is rich and spicy, built on a base of various seafood including cuttlefish, mussel, and clam, and the pack includes dried kelp (seaweed) and fish cake pieces for a truly satisfying one-bowl meal.

Neoguri Spicy Seafood Flavor sits at a medium spice level by Korean standards. Compared to spicy European dishes such as Hungarian goulash or Spanish chorizo stew, it may feel noticeably hotter — but it is relatively mild compared to Korea's spiciest ramyeon. The heat is chilli-based, with a warming, rounded quality rather than a sharp burn, and it is balanced by the deep umami of the seafood broth. If you are concerned about the spice level, adding a little extra water during cooking, or topping with an egg or a slice of cheese, will help mellow the heat.

It's very straightforward! Bring 550ml of water to a boil in a saucepan, then add the noodles, powder soup sachet, and vegetable flake sachet. Cook for approximately 4–5 minutes. Feel free to add extras such as an egg, spring onion, or mushrooms for a more substantial meal. Microwave cooking is not recommended — use a saucepan for best results. As the noodles are thick, make sure they are fully cooked through. The noodles will absorb the broth quickly after cooking, so enjoy immediately for the best texture. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
