This is my personal favorite. It is spicier than anything you would usually get in a grocery store and I think it has pretty decent flavor. I always doctor ramen with sauteed vegetables like mushrooms or scallions and almost always with an egg poached in the soup while its cooking.
NongShim Shin Ramyun is my go to instant noodle, flavorful and delicious. Easily complemented with a fried/softboiled egg, simple greens and some fried spam. Each pack is $~0.87 each, much cheaper if you buy it from a local Asian market. I typically get mine for about $0.60/pack.
On amazon right now for under $1 a piece, OP may not have gotten the best deal: https://smile.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1505088671&sr=1-4&keywords=shin%2Bramyun&th=1
I do pretty well but i still buy boxes of ramen. it's fancy ramen noodles from korea from nongshim., but still ramen. They're less than $1 each and make for some amazing stir fry noodles. throw some diced chicken thighs/shrimp in a cast iron skillet, add some veggies, then combine with the nongshim and it's an amazing lo mein/ dead ringer for japchae. Trick is to let the noodles soak before/after cooking. Really lets them soak up all the amazing flavoring they use and gives them a glass noodle texture.
You should be able to get something like this for only a dollar or 1.50 each (99 cent store, Walmart, hmart etc) and its still way better than the regular cup of noodles. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00778B90S/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_HK1A6337WZB19TNPG20B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Nongshim Shin Ramyun Noodle Soup, Gourmet Spicy, 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 20) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00778B90S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_6DGHP84KKKBADZX088Y4
These are my go to, the Shin Black are also excellent. I’ll sauté onion & garlic, then make the noodles. Add some chopped green onions at the end. An egg is optional but is very nice. I’ll semi poach it in the broth by cracking it on the noodles as they cook and spoon hot broth over it.
Shin ramen is actually amazing. Amazing has a boho deal ! Their noodles are quite good! Check out this bundle.
Nongshim Shin Ramyun Noodle Soup, Gourmet Spicy, 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 20) (101002379) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00778B90S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_6N6YR15KJSABC6X3KXHE
I would eat it with a poached egg. Too bad it is now selling for $69.99 or more a case on Amazon. My supply has been cut off.
I make this ramen (the best instant): https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S
according the package. (That includes adding the spice packet.) Then I drain all the liquid and crack in an egg or two. I stir it around and it coats the noodles. It’s seriously good.
Or, of course, you could always make spaghetti carbonara. It’s a similar take on eggs. The eggs coat the spaghetti noodles.
I need a minimum of about ~75g carbs before a workout. Usually about 30 minutes before. It should be mostly low fat/low protein, and low/no sugar.
Then I'll usually do another ~50g carbs in a more sugary form intra workout.
Lately Shin Ramyun are my go to preworkout. Extremely tasty, easy to make... fairly cheap (less than $1/pack if you buy at BJs). Best Ramyun around imo. It's kind of a cheat, but since I do it preworkout I allow it. :)
https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S?th=1
other stuff to add to ramen:
1) mushrooms
2) broccoli (add at the end, boil for 30-45 sec)
3) Chicken (pre-fry on a skillet)
Dont use the cheapass american ramen, if you have a Chinese supermarket in your town buy something like this
No ramen is actually healthy unless you make it yourself. But, Shin Ramyun is better than the stuff you find at normal CVS etc. Its actually wheat and fills you up properly. Add an egg to it and its pretty decent to eat on a regular basis. The sodium intake is still a bit on the high side. Still a bit expensive, but you can add volume to this easily and use one packet for more meals.
Definitely Shin ramen. You can now order it from Amazon! You can also get it at any Korean grocery store. There's also a black label Shin ramen that's really tasty.
Amazon also has a decent selection of ramen. I like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00778B90S/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_8?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1
I used to order it on amazon $18 for a 20-pack before this pandemic. Last I looked that same package was marked up to $70...
Edit: just checked, back to $18.80
I actually prefer this now, thicker and more like ramen https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S
I have to second the other person who commented Shin Ramyeon, my family and I have been eating that brand ever since I was a kid (I'm Korean).
Also Samyang is insane. I ate that once and I've stayed away from it since lol. I'm pretty good with spicy food but Samyang destroyed me.
https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S
Take a look at https://www.smegamart.ca and be sure to go to the detail page for each type as it looks like a very expensive pack but is actually 5 packs (for example) - IOW they don't show what you're buying on the top page.
As far as Amazon, my advice is to look carefully at the offers as there's wide variation. I actually think their selection is pretty good, but yes, we're talking C$3-4 a pack including shipping (which is sometimes free - that's why you have to really scan the offers). Take a look at this for example:
Let's call it C$50 (including shipping) for 20 packs = C$2.50 a pack. Sure it's a little expensive, but it's not THAT expensive.

The Maruchan ramen is $9/12 on Amazon, but it's only about $0.15 in the store for each pack. T___T You could upgrade to a $22/20 of Shin ramen at that point: https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S
Both are utter wank when it comes to other types of instant noodles. If you like spicy stuff then get some of these, top stuff but they'll blow your head off if you use all of the spice pack. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S&ved=2ahUKEwiujJGf1qjsAhXMRxUIHWr4AUsQFjAAegQIFxAC&usg=AOvVaw3Sgg9nWRn5KxRFPMx0U_Py&cshid=16022...
Personally, I quite like Nongshim's noodles. On a cold day, I'll even use the seasoning packet if I don't feel like making broth!
Shin Ramen Then add a bunch of stuff to it.
My favorite ramen is Shin Red: https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S?th=1
Add some lime juice and some fresh veggies/meat during or after the boil and it's magic.
OH MY GOD FUCK hahah . I'm Korean, the ramen that Koco sells is literally less than $1.00 a pack in grocery stores. All Koco does is add a slice of cheese or some eggs and vegetable medley to it. No asian person orders ramyun and pays $7+ plus tax and tip in a restaurant.
Ramyun:
https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S?th=1
Shin Ramyun 20 packs are $16.23 on Prime, and they're huge and delicious.
I bought the very same thing.
Nongshim Shin ramyun. I buy at the store.
NongShim Shin Ramyun Noodle Soup, Gourmet Spicy, 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 20)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00778B90S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OdJ2zbJ6GHP5R
Their ramen is just packaged Shin Ramyun.
To replicate the experience without leaving your house, have some of this delivered.
Have you had Nongshim ramen? It's by far my favorite and would recommend to everyone.
It's this. https://www.amazon.com/Nongshim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S
Shin Ramyun is a solid A- at all times. Its a nice staple, good spice packet, good dried veggie packet (shiitake is always welcome). Some people will call bullshit, but I actually like Shin Ramyun black.
Mama's Tom yum flavor is awesome. just awesome. kind of tiny, but also cheap.
Same with Indomie hot and Spicy flavor.
Sapporo Ichiban is again a nice staple. I'd say solid B unless you really like one of the flavors. Wife REALLY likes the tonkutsu, but its artificially flavored, and the only one of the basic flavors that has that on the label. I don't know why.
I also enjoy the Myojo Udon you see there with a lot of scallions and white pepper added to the mix. Obey the instructions on this one: boil noodles separately from a pot of just water. use the hot water on the flavor pack (and white pepper to taste, probably a lot), drain noodles and put in stock, add scallions and whatever else. maybe do a soy egg or something. I like beef or spicy flavors on this one.
If you eat Top Ramen or Maruchan noodles, stop that and get this stuff. Delicious.
I eat their Shin Ramyun! It's like the primo cheap ramen.
