#5619: Otoki Kimchi Ramen – United States

Found this one at HMart. The Otoki variants are for the US while Ottogi ones are for the Korean market – at least that’s what it seems like, but I could be wrong on that as I don’t have any official comment from the company. What I do know is that westerners saying Otoki is closer to the hard g/soft k kinda thing. Anyways, let’s have a nice kimchi bowl!

Cover for 4 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy! Detail of the lid (click to enlarge). An instant noodle block. A sachet of soup base powder seasoning. Loose bits and seasoning from the cup. Finished (click to enlarge). Added egg, scallion, pepper thread, sesame seed, and ground beef. Steeping this ended up with a spongy noodle and I wish I had microwaved it. Microwaving would have made the noodle come out much better. The broth is great – spicy…
