[K-food Review] Jjamppong Noodles Ottogi

Hello! Today, I am introducing Ottogi’s new ramen menu, which is the bagged version of Cup Noodles, called Ottogi Jjamppong Noodles. I once thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice if Ottogi Cup Noodles, popular as a diet food, came out as bagged noodles?” After small and large cup noodles, and the bagged version of sesame noodles, they have now introduced Jjamppong Noodles! Let’s find out what this menu is all about!

Jjamppong Noodles Price and Features

It seems Ottogi was already well aware of the public opinion regarding the release of bagged Cup Noodles! By launching viral menus like sesame noodles and jjamppong noodles, they might also be aiming to test the market! The issue is the price. I bought a multipack of 4 bags for 6,980 won at the supermarket. Generally, Cup Noodles are more expensive than regular ramen due to manufacturing process issues, and the bagged noodles also feel slightly expensive!

The content weight is 57g, which is quite light, and the calorie count is 200Kcal, less than half of regular ramen, but the sodium is 66% of the daily recommended intake, which is not high for ramen but still noteworthy. Cup Noodles were similar! If you’re eating it for dieting, you should consume the broth moderately!

The cooking method is similar to boiling regular jjamppong ramen, where you add the noodles and ingredients, boil them, and then add the seasoning oil at the end! Just note that the cooking time for the noodles is 5 minutes, which is relatively long. Also, looking at the ingredients, they have added a lot of jjamppong-related extracts and seasonings to create the jjamppong flavor!

Let’s take a quick look at the composition! Last time, I was just contemplating whether to eat sesame noodles or not and ended up not eating them, but this time I get to check it out! This menu consists of four components: glass noodles, powdered soup, ingredient soup, and seasoning oil! The glass noodles are contained in a plastic container, and they can break more easily than expected, so it’s best to handle them carefully!

The powdered soup is probably almost the same as the existing jjamppong ramen released by Ottogi, right? Haha, the same goes for Cup Noodles! I think it might be derived from Ottogi Jin Jjamppong. The taste is likely to be very similar!

Jjamppong Noodles Health Information Provided

The ingredients seem to mainly include bok choy, bell pepper, carrot, and green onion. Surprisingly, seafood flakes don’t seem to be specially included, but they are present, just too small to see. Haha, although the photos show two servings, it definitely looks like there’s slightly more than in Cup Noodles.

Of course, the oil soup included in Cup Noodles is also present. You need about 500ml of water, so the oil soup is generously provided! Adding this makes the taste quite good, but if you’re a dieter concerned about oil, you can leave some out!

I plan to cook two servings, so I prepared 900ml of water! I will add about 85-90% of the powdered soup. Once the water starts boiling, I added two servings of noodles!

I added the powdered soup and ingredient soup (the ingredients should have been added before the water boiled!) and cooked for 5 minutes. It’s a bit more cumbersome than cup noodles, but there’s nothing particularly tricky, and it’s convenient!

After cooking, this is how it looks. Having cooked all the noodles, it feels a bit unfamiliar not seeing the white noodles! Haha, but since I enjoyed the Cup Noodles, this should be fine too.

Since it’s a boiled menu, I think it would be worth it if it tastes a bit better than regular Cup Noodles, so I’ll give it a try. Before eating, I evenly sprinkled two oil soups!

Dried Ingredients Composition Introduction

After mixing the noodles, broth, and oil soup well, I took a bite. Compared to regular Cup Noodles, the boiled ramen definitely had a richer taste!

There’s no exact standard, but my personal feeling is that the noodles cook more and the broth becomes slightly thicker as it boils. For those who haven’t tried Cup Noodles, it’s a Jin Jjamppong flavor without the boiled flour taste.

The highlight is definitely the broth! When you crave spicy broth during a diet, and it’s a shame to just drink the broth and you miss the noodles of Jin Jjamppong, it’s a good choice. It doesn’t seem to lack flavor in any particular way!

However, as mentioned earlier, the sodium content in the broth is not negligible, so it’s best to just taste it moderately. In fact, as you eat, you might feel like adding rice, so be cautious about that too. Haha

Cup Noodles Features Introduction Review

Overall, it quite well reproduces the broth taste of boiled Jin Jjamppong, and the taste was better than expected, making it an enjoyable menu! Even eating two servings doesn’t reach the calories of a regular ramen, which I liked! I stopped after drinking about 250ml of the broth. It was a recommendable menu when you feel empty and bored during a diet!
