Nongshim Shin Ramyun Spicy Chicken Flavour is a product from Nongshim, one of Korea's most iconic instant noodle brands. It features a chilli-based spicy broth enhanced with chicken flavouring, delivering a bold and fiery taste. Unlike the classic Shin Ramyun, which uses a beef-based broth, this product is centred around chicken flavour, complemented by spices such as coriander, black pepper, and red chilli pepper for a complex aromatic profile. The noodles are springy wheat-flour wavy noodles, and the vegetable mix includes carrot, pak choi, and red chilli pepper, offering a variety of textures in every bowl. In Korea, instant noodles are an extremely common everyday meal, and this product is particularly popular among those who enjoy bold, spicy flavours.

In accordance with EU food labelling law (Regulation 1169/2011), the following allergens must be declared: ① Gluten — present via Wheat Flour used in the noodles and Wheat Gluten in the vegetable mix. ② Soybeans — present in the emulsifier (E322), Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein, and Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP). ③ Celery — declared as one of the EU's 14 mandatory allergens in this product. Additionally, due to the manufacturing environment, the product may contain traces of crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, milk, mustard, sesame, and molluscs (May contain). If you have any food allergies, please read the full ingredient list carefully before consumption.

Nongshim Shin Ramyun Spicy Chicken Flavour sits at a medium-to-strong spice level by Korean standards. Compared to European food culture, it is noticeably hotter than a typical hot paprika pasta sauce, and roughly comparable to — or slightly stronger than — a Mexican-style hot salsa. The heat comes primarily from red chilli pepper and black pepper, but the chicken flavour and umami depth mean the spiciness feels complex and rounded rather than simply sharp. If you are not accustomed to spicy food, you can add a little extra water during cooking, or stir in some butter or a beaten egg to mellow the heat.

Yes, this product has a relatively high sodium content. It contains 3.5g of salt per 100g, which means a full 120g pack contains approximately 4.2g of salt — around 70% of the EU recommended daily salt intake for adults (6g). If you have high blood pressure or are managing your sodium intake, we recommend not drinking all of the broth, or using only half of the soup powder. Please be aware that this product should not be perceived or marketed as a low-sodium food. It is best enjoyed occasionally as a special treat rather than as a daily staple.
