Nongshim Stir-Fried Neoguri Ramyeon Review [Korean Food]

Home » K-food Review » Ramen/K-Ramyeon-Instant Noodles » Nongshim Stir-Fried Neoguri Ramyeon Review [Korean Food]

Korean ramyeon fans spent two years asking Nongshim to bring this one back, and it has finally returned. Today’s review is of Stir-Fried Neoguri (Bokkeum Neoguri), the pack ramyeon that came back in October 2026 as a limited relaunch. It first launched in 2017 for Neoguri’s 35th anniversary and sold 10 million units in a single month. After it was discontinued in Korea in 2024, consumer requests never stopped, so it is back for about a month in limited quantities. A 4-pack costs 5,300 won, and it has been on sale since October 27 through online and offline channels nationwide. I recently reviewed Rabbokkuri, which I liked best among the stir-fried Neoguri lineup, so I was curious how the original would compare. Let’s find out what it’s all about.

Stir-Fried Neoguri Limited Edition: Price and Highlights

This relaunch happened thanks to consumer requests. Over the past two years, it was reportedly the product Nongshim got asked to bring back most often. On October 14, a pre-order of 3,000 sets of 16 packs on Nongshim Mall sold out in just 2 hours, so I bought mine as soon as it reached stores. Ha. The price is 5,300 won for a 4-pack, and it has been sold as both pack and cup ramyeon since October 27 through online and offline channels nationwide. Quantities are limited, and some stores have reportedly already sold out, so I’d grab it when you see it.

Seafood stir-fried noodles with rich flavor

The cooking instructions are as follows for one pack. Boil 600 ml of water, add the noodles and flakes, and cook for 5 minutes. Then leave only 5 spoonfuls of water, add the Neoguri secret soup powder and the spicy seasoning oil, and stir-fry over medium heat for about 30 seconds. Since these are stir-fried noodles, stir-frying seems to be the recommended method.

The total weight is 130 g with 580 kcal, and sodium is 1,360 mg, about 68% of the daily recommended value. Calories run slightly higher than ordinary pack ramyeon. With no broth, you mix all the seasoning into the noodles, so the sodium is fairly high as well, which is worth keeping in mind.

What’s Inside the Pack

Let’s take a quick look at what’s inside before cooking. You get Neoguri’s signature thick, chewy noodles, plus a stir-fried seafood soup powder and a stir-fried chili seasoning oil made by sautéing seafood such as mussels and squid in chili oil. There are also dried flakes.

Checking the stir-fried seafood soup powder

The two essentials are the Neoguri secret soup powder and the spicy seasoning oil. The soup powder seems to handle the seafood taste, while the seasoning oil handles the spiciness. This relaunch version reportedly strengthens both the seafood flavor and the heat compared with the original.

Story behind consumers' relaunch requests

The flakes still include the kelp that Neoguri is known for. They are not big kelp pieces but small bits that suit stir-fried noodles. There is also seaweed and dried fish cake shaped like the Neoguri mascot. Ha.

How I Cooked It

This one is a brothless stir-fried style. You boil 600 ml of water, add the noodles and flakes, and cook for 5 more minutes. I cooked two packs, so I poured off the water until a little more than 10 tablespoons remained, then sprinkled the soup powder and seasoning oil on top. The noodles are thick, so they take a bit longer than ordinary ramyeon, and I recommend cooking the full 5 minutes.

Consumer reactions to the discontinued product's relaunch

Instead of stir-frying, I mixed the noodles by hand this time. Stir-fry results vary a lot, and I thought mixing might work well too. As mentioned, I left about 10 tablespoons of water. At first it looked like too much broth, but later almost all the water was gone and the sauce turned quite thick and rich.

Tips for buying the rare limited edition

While mixing, the deep aroma of stir-fried seafood that Neoguri is known for rises right up. The finished dish looked quite appetizing, with the red seasoning evenly coating the thick noodles.

Taste Test: Seafood Fire and a Spicy Kick

Now for the tasting. With a big bite, a deep smoky fire flavor and umami from stir-fried seafood hit first. If you expect Neoguri’s refreshing kelp taste, this is closer to a rich, spicy seafood stir-fried jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) flavor. Ha. It feels a little odd at first.

Rich Seafood Flavor and a Fiery Kick

The seafood flavor on top of the original’s slightly udon-like taste came through quite strongly, so the claim that it was strengthened felt real. The heat is also fairly sharp, and it is clearly spicier than Rabbokkuri. If you don’t handle spicy food well, you may find it a bit hot.

The Neoguri Character Still Comes Through

Still, the Neoguri character came through well, more than a stir-fried jjamppong would. I had never tried the earlier limited edition. After this bite, I understood why longtime Neoguri fans wanted the relaunch so badly. I even wished they would make it a regular menu item while they’re at it.

Remembering Stir-Fried Neoguri before discontinuation

For reference, a cup version was released at the same time. The pack noodles, boiled properly in a pot, had an especially chewy texture. The rich stir-fried sauce clung heavily to the thick noodles, and every bite was satisfying. The kelp doesn’t play a big role, but it felt like a symbol of Neoguri’s identity in a stir-fried noodle.

Greasy stir-fried noodle characteristics

Overall, anyone who missed the Stir-Fried Neoguri from before its discontinuation should be pleased with this taste. However, because the dish includes seasoning oil, it can feel a little greasy toward the end, so pairing it with pickled radish or kimchi is a good idea. If you leave too much water, the sauce turns thin, so start with less and adjust. Ha.

Final Verdict: A Textbook Seafood Stir-Fried Noodle

Personally, I think this is a textbook seafood stir-fried noodle, and it is easy to see why it came back at consumers’ request. Neoguri’s thick noodles, a rich seafood stir-fry flavor and a sharp spicy kick work well together. As a pack ramyeon, the chewiness of the noodles also came through clearly.

That said, it is on sale for only about a month, so it is not easy to find, and the greasy nature of stir-fried noodles means tastes may differ. I’d recommend it to people who waited for the Stir-Fried Neoguri from before, to fans of spicy seafood stir-fried noodles and to anyone who enjoyed Rabbokkuri. CU is also starting full-scale sales of the cup version, so try it if you’re curious. You never know when it will return.

News of the limited relaunch is available in (Korean source) the WikiTree report on the limited relaunch of Nongshim’s Stir-Fried Neoguri.
