Ottogi Jin Ramyeon Mild Flavor Mini Cup is a product by Ottogi, one of Korea's leading instant noodle brands. "Mild" (Sunhan-mat in Korean) means the broth is gently seasoned — smooth, deeply savory, and approachable even for those not used to spicy food. The broth base draws on chicken extract and beef-style flavoring, rounded out by the warm, slightly salty character of soy sauce. It offers a comforting umami quality similar to a European chicken bouillon soup, but with the distinctive aroma of Korean spices, garlic, and onion that give it its own unique character. The dehydrated vegetable mix includes napa cabbage, carrot, mushroom, spring onion, and seaweed — making it a satisfying quick meal on its own.

Yes, this product has a relatively high sodium content. It contains approximately 1,800mg of sodium per 100g (equivalent to around 4.57g of salt), which significantly exceeds the EU threshold for "high salt" content of 1.5g of salt per 100g. As is typical with instant noodles, consuming the entire broth will result in higher sodium intake. Those managing their sodium intake are advised to leave some broth or adjust portion size accordingly. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a daily sodium intake of no more than 2,000mg (5g of salt).

Preparation is very simple — just pour boiling water directly into the mini cup container:

2. Place the soup powder and vegetables on top of the noodles.
3. Pour boiling water (100°C) up to the fill line.
4. Close the lid and wait 3 minutes.
5. Stir well and serve immediately.

Microwave use may not be suitable depending on the cup material, so please check the preparation instructions on the packaging first. Using boiling water is the safest and recommended method.
