Hakubaku Authentic Plain Ramen Noodles bulk (8 PACK) Kaedama. Product of Japan. Good Asian Teriyaki cold noodles for Yakisoba

The media could not be loaded. Video shows my homemade tantanmen ramen. (Little secret for ramen lovers out there trying to get into homemade territory: unsweetened soymilk heated to partially reduce + properly seasoned will be shockingly close to real tonkotsu broth. I personally use Lee Kum Kee chicken powder + a dried mushroom spice blend. Of course, this is just the broth, don't forget the specific dashi for the ramen you're making.)The noodles are a tad pricey but very high quality, on par with what you'd get at a typical ramen joint out here in LA County/San Gabriel Valley. Keeping the par-with-ramen-shop theme, a single packet in terms of noodle quantity is also reflective of what you'd be served at a typical ramen restaurant.If I could rate 4.5 stars I could just because of the slightly high price, but leaning 5 stars because of the sheer quality. You can chuck the box in the fridge and the noodles (which are packed freshly made, btw) will last weeks, months in the freezer. Because they're freshly made, they take only ~90sec to cook to a springy al dente vs the 4-7 minutes you'd need for dry/dehydrated noodles. On top of that, they're heat resistant out of the pot, as I've experienced minimal softening even without washing the noodles while I assemble the ramen bowl.Ramen connoisseurs know how integral noodle quality is for a good ramen bowl, and these are the best I've used so far for home cooking. Worth the price? Maybe not for every single bowl, but great for those weeks you want to treat yourself or on the occasion you get to show off ramen skills to guests.

This was delicious, would recommend. Just be willing to cook them well within a broth for a good ramen experience, otherwise, it is quality, thick and easy to prepare noodles. May not be the best value for money though, and unlike me practice with something cheaper

The noodles are good quality and taste good. They are singularly packed so you can use as many or as little of an amount as you'd like.

They hold up well.. the curly structure is perfect for my bone broth. First try with basic broth.. 🔥 Can’t wait to try with dashi/broth/tare! 100% my ramen noods from now on. Best I can give is 4 stars.. 5 is what you get in a back street of Tokyo.

I have purchased many many different types of noodles, but these noodles are by far. The chew textured wonderful noodle I have ever eaten in my entire life. I have probably tried 60 to 70 different noodles from around the world. These are by far without a doubt my favorite I love them. I will buy them again and again and again You won’t go wrong by buying these wonderful noodles perfect texture perfect flavor hold onto the little bits of food you put in there with them soaks up the broth flavor deepens the whole dish would be my request for my last meal bye-bye bye go go America buy like a nut. If you’re feeling low and you don’t know what to do get a bag of noodles out and eat these in fact after writing this review, I am now hungry for these noodles. I want noodles and noodles of noodles and the only ones that will satisfy me are these noodles these noodles are so good. You could eat them with an old flip-flop.

Hakubaku Authentic Plain Ramen Noodles are a dream come true for anyone who loves creating authentic, flavorful ramen bowls from scratch.These noodles are not instant, so they require some preparation, but the effort is well worth it. The texture is unbeatable – perfectly springy and holds up beautifully to broths and sauces without getting mushy. Their neutral flavor acts as a blank canvas, allowing you to experiment with endless combinations of toppings and broths. From spicy miso to savory shoyu, these noodles elevate any recipe you try.Just make sure you're ready to put in a little effort – they deserve it

I made a sesame broth ramen with spicy minced pork and I cooked the noodles separately. It was light and delicious! I didn’t get the spinach or bok choy into the dish that time when I took the pic. The second time, I tried to save time by making the broth ahead of time and I froze it. I cooked the noodles in the broth. Unfortunately, the starch made the noodles gummy and the broth was so salty. Next time, I’ll cook it separately. There is nothing wrong with the noodles. You just need to know how to cook them.

The noodles come in individual plastic envelopes not vacuum sealed, but with a moisture absorber, not a spice packet. Do not eat that and do not eat the noodles. The noodles are not dry when they arrive they are mysteriously somehow soft and although it says to put boiling water in them for two minutes if you want al dente… 30 seconds longer if you’d like them soft. That’s not what actually happens… as another reviewer mentioned, the product has the consistency of Play-Doh when they’re cooked. Put them into a stirfry and they will stick together like a damn magnet and they will get weirder and weirder the more you try to separate them. Yes they are also salty. No, they are not Ramen noodles of any kind that I’ve ever had or ever seen or ever heard of. Do not buy unless you want to be sad that you can’t return them and now you just have to throw them away because trying to eat them once was enough.
