Ranking the Best Plain Instant Chicken Ramen Brands

Determine which major brand delivers the superior broth and texture when comparing their basic chicken instant ramen offerings. Discover why spice and visible "flex" do not guarantee a winning flavor profile among these common pantry staples.

Short Summary

  • Saporro Ichiban emerges as the clear winner for its simple, well-rounded, non-spicy profile.
  • Nissin Top Ramen is declared the worst performer due to a noticeable lack of any discernible flavor.
  • The comparison revealed that conspicuous flavor additives ("flex") can sometimes mask a weak base broth.
  • Hosts joke about the unexpected heat from the Bulldog product, which was supposed to be their mildest option.

This segment focuses on rating five popular brands based only on their standard chicken flavor packets. The hosts evaluate the complexity of the broth, the efficacy of visible additives like dried vegetables, and overall enjoyment to find the true champion of the basic category.

Ain’t no way the Mythical Kitchen made that watery buldak because I know that Josh would not let that happen.

please do a video trying every buldak flavour, and make sure they're prepared the right way. the 'stew type' one is more close to ramyun and it's really good!

I used to watch you guys 10 years ago and I was genuinely shocked when I accidentally found this channel again today. The fact that you're still doing it 5 days a week and still manage to find new topics for every episode is astonishing to me. You also haven't changed a bit. That's probably even more astonishing.
