Ottogi Jin Ramyeon Mild Flavor is produced by Ottogi, one of Korea's leading instant ramen brands. The wheat noodles (61%) are deep-fried in palm oil and dried, then packaged together with a separate soup powder and dehydrated vegetable mix. Unlike typical European instant soups or pasta, Korean ramen is defined by its complex umami-rich broth — a blend of red pepper, garlic, soy sauce (Ganjang), and fermented soybean paste (Doenjang). The "Mild" variety is the less spicy version within the Jin Ramyeon range, making it accessible even to those not accustomed to spicy food. The noodles have a characteristically springy, chewy texture.

In accordance with EU food labelling regulations (Regulation (EU) 1169/2011), the following allergens are present and must be declared: ① Gluten (wheat flour and wheat gluten), ② Soybeans (soy sauce, Doenjang, textured soy protein, etc.), ③ Molluscs (oyster, octopus, etc. — contained in the soup powder). Anyone with an allergy to these ingredients should avoid consumption. The soup powder also contains flavour enhancers E621 (MSG), E627, and E631 — please check the ingredient list if you wish to avoid these.

No, this product is not suitable for either vegetarians or vegans. The soup powder contains beef extract and mollusc-derived ingredients (oyster, octopus, etc.). It is also not gluten-free and does not carry halal certification. If you have any dietary restrictions, please check the ingredient list carefully before purchasing.

Yes, this product has a relatively high sodium content. The salt content per 100g is approximately 3.9g, which amounts to around 4.68g for the entire pack (120g). This is close to the WHO recommended daily salt intake for adults (5g). If you are monitoring your sodium intake, we recommend using only half the soup powder or adding extra water to dilute the broth. Please consult your doctor or dietitian before consuming if you have high blood pressure or other relevant health conditions.

The basic method is straightforward: ① Bring 550ml of water to a boil in a pot. ② Once boiling, add the noodles, soup powder, and dehydrated vegetable mix. ③ Cook for 4 minutes 30 seconds, loosening the noodles with chopsticks or a fork. ④ For extra richness, add an egg, a slice of cheese, or a small knob of butter. Easy-to-find European ingredients such as a soft-boiled egg, frozen sweetcorn, or fresh spring onions make excellent toppings that elevate both the presentation and the flavour. It is best enjoyed immediately after cooking — do not store leftover ramen.
