Ramen Spicy Beef, 2.6 Ounce

Being a vegan on a keto diet can be tough. I'm glad I found these ramen noodles. I really love them. Now, if you aren't used to eating alternative foods you may hate these. My brothers who constantly eats ramen says they taste like rubber lol. But they don't bother me at all, the soup pack especially is so flavorful. My main issue is the price. I only get these every once in a while because $5 for a pack of ramen is expensive.

I really wanted to like this ramen product. The broth is not bad, flavorful, but not spicy. My issue is with the noodles. They taste like fiber, which is probably what they are, but it's not a replacement for the ramen we are wanting. The texture is very chewy and springy, like a rubber band. It takes longer than the package directions for them to get soft. I was really hoping this would be tasty. My hope in writing this review is that they will try to improve the noodle.

The taste of the broth was okay but the noodles had a texture that was somewhere between rat tails and rubber bands and tasted like play-doh. I did finish the bowl but would not order again.

I did not like the taste of these noodles, and I usually like spicy ramen. I passed the extra package on to my son.

This is the second flavor of Immi ramen pouches I've tried (I've also had the Tom Yum Shrimp), and I was thankful I was able to purchase just a single pouch to try each time, before committing to a pricey 6-pack. The calorie count is similar to that of a supermarket "cup ramen", but the amount of noodles is quite generous, easily as much as I would normally see in other brands' 2-serving bricks of ramen. The fat and sodium content are higher than I'd like, but the protein content of the noodles is great, and the seasoning packet has a nice "beef" flavor for a vegan broth, and is just a little spicy (not nearly as much as my sensitive tummy had feared!). I mostly followed the microwave directions (upping the water to 2 cups from the recommended 1 1/2 cups, as I was concerned there wasn't enough liquid to cover the noodles), and the texture and consistency was quite decent (maybe a smidge chewier than supermarket ramen bricks, but still plenty easy to chew without my dentures). I chose to add 2 tablespoons of dehydrated soup veggies to the ramen before adding the liquid & microwaving, and I put a large handful of shredded cheese (my go-to ramen topping, as I almost always have some in the fridge). The total effect was delicious, but I wish I had eaten the ramen a bit faster, as it was cooling off by the time I finished. This was a great way to experiment with Immi ramen, and the spicy "beef" flavor was mild enough that even a spice-sensitive diner like me could enjoy it. If you can afford one of Immi's 6-packs including this flavor, go for it; otherwise, at least try this single pouch of Immi's spicy "beef" ramen, and you might be tempted to spring for a 6-pack next time! Recommended.

Flavor pack is A+. Definitely as good as "normal" ramen. As other's have mentioned, the texture of the noodle is not quite right. At first I was disappointed because I wanted to be exactly like the "normal" ramen. But the low carb, high protein, high fiber was worth the noodle not being quite right. But... After eating these for months now, I have to say, I now take them as their own thing. Are they exactly ramen? No. But if you take them as something else, as their own different kind of noodle... actually, they are quite enjoyable. I really look forward to bowl of Immi when I come in after a work out on a cold day and just want to dump some protein into my body. And frankly, they taste great. FWIW... I always throw in some leftover cold chicken, a hand-full of spinach pre-wash, sometimes I poach an egg in the cooking water... Anyway, I love it. The Tom Yum is great too. The garlic chicken is like waaaaaaay too much garlic and basically inedible unless you are a serious garlic fiend.

They were not good at all. It tasted like something made in a lab. The textures was not that of a noodle, it was very chewing. The flavor wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t necessarily good either. Not spicy at all. I tried to finish eating it but it started to upset my stomach so I just threw it away. It’s disappointing because I want a healthier option for my ramen, but this is not it.

I purchased these several months ago and they got “lost” in a cupboard. Well, I finally found them again and decided to try one. I followed the directions and added salt to the water. I did, however, boil them longer per other reviewer suggestions. I added a bit of frozen peas, chopped onion and some leftover London Broil which I cut into smaller pieces. I let it sit for 10 minutes so the flavors would mesh. This was such a pleasant surprise when I tasted the broth, it had a slight kick to it which is what I wanted. The noodles were perfect. Not to al dente and not too mushy. Just right. I did not smell anything bad at all. I know the ingredients are not the cleanest but once in a while is okay for me as I follow a mostly clean, mostly organic, keto lifestyle and I appreciate the low carb count. Thank you Immi for bringing us this wonderful product as I have been missing ramen from my diet for over 5 years. I just enrolled in subscribe and save so I can be rest assured that I will have my ramen and save money in the process.
