I like this simple packaging. It doesn’t have ramen pictures on it, but it looks good.

It contains noodle and soup powder. The noodle is fried and curly.

The recipe is on the back of the package. Boil the noodle for 3 minutes with 500ml of boiling water. Stir the noodle sometimes. When the noodle is ready, add the powder soup and stir it well. Put the noodle and soup into a bowl.

This instant noodle is simple Tonkotsu ramen taste, not too light, not too rich, it's just right for me. I added an egg and chopped scallions. This is from Ukiha city of Fukuoka prefecture where is the three major noodle making of Kyushu area.

#26Miyazaki Spicy Ramen

Today’s noodle is Miyazaki Spicy Noodle.

Area: Miyazaki, Kyushu, Japan
Flavor: Spicy
Japanese Name: Miyazaki Karamen (宮崎辛麺)
English Name: Miyazaki Spicy Ramen/ Miyazaki Spicy Ramen

I chose this because I wanted to eat something spicy very much. The big golden letters on the package of the noodle says “Spicy Noodle”. You cannot miss this noodle if you like spicy food.

It contains noodle, powdery soup, and dried Chinese dive. The noodle is fried and frizzled.

The back of the package says “how to eat this in a more tasty way”. The recipe is same as normal instant noodles. Boil 500 ml of water in a pot and put noodles in it. Keep boiling for 2 minutes as you stir. Remove it from heat and add powdery soup and accompanying Chinese chive to it, then stir. When they are ready, put them in a bowl. When you cook the noodle, it is recommended to add some minced meat too. After putting the powdery soup, add a beaten egg to it and then boil for 10 seconds. That makes the ramen much more delicious.

I added bean sprout, leek and egg. When I put the noodle in the bowl, I realized I had forgotten the egg. So I added the egg at that moment. I don’t complain even the egg is still raw. What’s great is the combination of the soup from Miyazaki chicken and soy sauce, and more so with the combination of garlic and chili. This is really the local food from Miyazaki because Chinese chive is considered as the feature of Miyazaki and spiciness. The noodle itself is nice. The taste of the soup lingers on.

I don't think this ramen is so spicy, but tasty. Spicy hot. I recommend you to try this ramen especially in this summer. It’s the Miyazaki way to add some minced meat and egg. Please try it as well. Adding some rice to the remaining soup is also recommended. You can eat all of that without wasting anything. This noodle has the similar product, “Miyazaki Spicy Spicy”, which I’ll introduce to you in the future.
