Ramen Reviews :: Maru-chan Miso Ramen




Now for a food that I ate last night, 東洋水産 - マルちゃん正麺 味噌味 (More simply, Maru-chan's Miso Ramen).

A bit of a background, there are several type of ramen but typically you'll find your ramen falls into one of four broth categories. Salt, Shoyu (soy), Miso or Tonkotsu (pork). This particular one was a miso broth base.

The entire thing is 108 grams. A single package is 365 calories, 67.1g of carbohydrates, 6.4g of fat, 9.7g of protein and 2,300mg of sodium. A lot of sodium but that's honestly to be expected with instant noodles. You don't go for ramen without knowing the massive sodium content you're getting yourself into.

That being said, I did not consume the entire package of ramen. As I typically do, I cut the block of noodles in half. I cooked a single half and added in lots of veggies and a hard boiled egg. I also weighed out half of the broth. The broth for this particular one is not one you add to the noodles. What you do is cook the noodles, put the broth base in the bowl and then add some of the liquid from the cooked noodles when you put them in your bowl. This is great because it keeps the rest of my noodles from getting soggy.

The noodles were thicker. I prefer a thinner noodle so I didn't really enjoy them. The broth was salty but overall pretty good. I like tonkotsu ramen broth the best so far but miso is still pretty darn tasty. I added carrots, oyster mushrooms, bean sprouts and cabbage along with my egg. It came out to a pretty well rounded dish I think.

Ramen Reviews ::

This is another old one that I had originally placed on my instagram story. (Hence the words on the picture) There is tons of instant ramen here, an entire aisle of it at any grocery store. There's a lot to pick from and thus I can often feel a little overwhelmed and just stick to what I'm familiar with instead of braving the unknown. Furthermore, lots of these packets are just noodles and broth (or sauce) but the images on the packaging have vegetables and meat. A bunch of goodies. Basically, you can just buy these and just eat the noodles. However, what I prefer to do is deck them out. Go to the vegetable area and grab a bunch of veggies to pad out the noodles. You end up with a much better dish overall and (depending on how many veggies you add) you might be able to stretch the noodles into two meals instead of one! Now I no longer have this wrapper so I can't properly give you a lot of information besides the image you see above. It was a tonkatsu ramen, aka, ...
