The characters on the package for Nong Shin Shim Ramyun Noodles suggest the product might be Chinese. The package says “Made in U.S.A.” by Nong Shim America of Rancho Cucamunga. I didn’t know that Rancho Cucamunga was a noodle capital. Well, Nong Shim is really a well-known company in South Korea, and their product is an international favorite. When they say spicy, they mean it. Unless you are adding a lot of vegetables, you might not want to use all of the little packet of dehydrated fire, but I do. I put Shin Ramyun in the noodle elite.

One of my favorites is the unusual U.F.O. Unidentified Flying Object. UFO Noodles are unusual in that they are not in a soup, and they have a flavor that approximates yakisoba, fried noodles.
