Attention Ramyun fans! Using the Scoville Scale, which measures the spiciness of various foods using Scoville Heat Units (SHU), Paldo’s Tteumsae Ramyun was ranked the spiciest coming in at 8,557 SHU. For comparison, pimentos are measured as 100 to 500 SHU and Jamaican Hot Peppers are measured as 100,000 to 250,000 SHU. Other noodles that made the list include Nongshim’s Shin Ramyun (2,700 SHU), E-mart’s Habanero Ramyun (5,930 SHU), and Ottogi’s Yeol Ramyun (5,013 SHU).
Cut 1 or 2 cloves of garlic into thin slices. Chop onion and pork. Put some oil on a wok and put the green onions and the garlic. Add the onions and the pork. Reducing the heat, pour the ramyun powder and stir-fry it. Pour 450 ml of water into the wok.
The product is a rather opaque orange broth in which fat noodles swim happily along with bits of seaweed, carrot, and “sea tangle” (which turns out to be kombu). The flavour really is basically Shin Ramyun, just as spicy but with more seafood and seaweed flavour, and I approve of this heartily.
