 Nice change of paceAug 28, 2008
By nowann
I have my kitchen stocked with all kinds of ramen/ramyuns and this is a nice change of pace when I want noodles without the broth. I usually mix the sauce components in the bowl I'm going to be eating out of and add a few tablespoons of the liquid I used to boil the noodles in to it. Just have to add the drained noodles and mix. I only use about three tablespoons of water to get the sauce the consistency I like, but you can add more/less depending on how you like it. This noodle is traditionally eaten with a side of slices of pickled radish (the yellow stuff you might find at your asian grocer). If you don't have pickled radish, you might enjoy it with a side of sliced cucumbers or other fresh vegetable because the sauce might be kind of heavy. I find this sold at my store for $5.99 per pack of five so the price on Amazon is not bad.

Addictive!!!!May 07, 2008
By T. Lee
"P&L"
One of my favorites!!!! I paid $18.00 for this at my local Korean market. The Chinese market I use to go to charges about $13.00 for this...however, they were either sold out or nolonger carries it...
Worth every penny!!!!

 And now for something different... (and oily)Dec 03, 2009
By buru buru piggu
A longtime fan of Nong Shim's excellent and popular spicy Nong Shim Shin Noodle Ramyun and Nong Shim Kimchi Noodle Ramyun, I was curious to try something different. And different it is. This is the first Nong Shim product I didn't take a liking to right away.
Chapagetti is "chajang" + "spaghetti", chajang myun (noodle) being a Korean interpretation of a Chinese dish. Chajang literally means "fried sauce". It's a thick, black, soybean paste that's slightly sweet. For the instant version, Nong Shim replaced the paste with a mix-in powder. Inside the bag are 3 flavoring packs: a packet of sauce powder, an oil packet, and a dehydrated vegetables packet. Preparation is easy. Just add the vegetable pack to the noodles when cooking, drain, then add the other 2 packets and stir well before eating. The instructions say you need to boil the noodles in a pot for several minutes, but just pouring boiling water on the noodles and letting them rehydrate works just as well. I add the vegetable pack after I've drained the noodles so as not to pour it all out accidentally with the water. The residual heat and moisture will reconstitute the ingredients.
The first time I tried this, I added everything. It tasted very oily and the powder seemed to be too much compared to the quantity of noodles. The noodle platform is hearty, thick, and elastic, like Nong Shim is well-known for, but I particularly dislike the oil because it made them greasy and runny. Now, I add half a bag of the powder and discard the oil, saving a few calories along the way and cutting down on some sodium. The tangy taste is very similar to Myojo Ippei-chan Instant Yakisoba Noodles and other Japanese instant yakisoba because of the same Chinese culinary influence.
Chapagetti contains less than 1/2 the sodium of the regular spicy Nong Shim ramen, so as a quick meal, it's not as bad for you. You can also add cooked cabbage and slices of chicken or other meats to bulk up the meal and make it more filling, as well as improve the nutritional value.
Verdict: still a good noodle, but it may not be what some shoppers are expecting.

Great noodles with lower sodiumOct 11, 2010
By Janet
This is my favorite Nong Shim to date. It not only tastes great but also has about half the sodium content of the others (40% vs. >90% for whole package). It's not healthy per se, but is probably a lot better for you. The dried veggies seem more substantial than the mere onion flakes in the other packs; this one has carrots, some tofu-like pieces, and green things. The sauce is also more savory than salty which is a good change of pace. Just be warned that it's korean style chajang noodles with a dark sauce. The sauce is a bit difficult to mix evenly and tends to clump up, so sprinkle it evenly on the noodles when you mix rather than just dumping it all on one spot.
