Honestly, I don't think I can ever give ramen or udon noodles a 5, so there is one point on my judgement on these.I like really spicy foods. I like foods that are so spicy that I have to stop eating them for a while because they are so spicy. I like the spice. And I like the fact that it stops me from wolfing down my food.1)Nissin Geki Fiery Hot Chicken Noodles, 3.17 Ounce (Pack of 12)These noodles are spicy. They are spicy enough. They aren't spicy enough to stop me from wolfing down a pack if I'm not paying attention.To me, it seems like they have a sweetness to them along with the heat.I will probably end up buying more of these at some point.2) Nissin Fire Wok, Torched Teriyaki Chicken, Hot & Spicy Chile Infused Asian Noodles, 12 PackNot spicy as Geki Fiery Hot Chicken Noodles, and I think I like the spices of the Geki Fiery Hot Chicken Noodles a bit more. These are, however, cheaper.Regardless, I probably won't buy these again.3) Nissin Hot & Spicy Fire Wok, Scorchin' Sesame Shrimp, 4.55 Ounce (Pack of 6)You are paying for the paper bowl to cook the noodles in; heading on $1 per package just for the luxury of not having to wash a bowl.The noodles themselves don't seem to be up the quality of the other two. There isn't much taste to this and I wouldn't call them spicy at all.I'm used to getting little dehydrated shrimp in noodle cups. None of that to be had.I won't be buying this product again.-In general, on these three types of ramen:The sodium content is quite high.They make a big deal about them having no MSG, but MSG has less sodium than ordinary salt.I use MSG instead of "table" salt. MSG also tastes different than salt; umami versus spicy (look it up if you don't know what it is). Salt is in everything; I get to much of it.Well, any way, I bought all three types to have a special kind of ramen every week or two.I eat a good deal of ramen and udon in general.I will looking forward to the treat of Nissin Geki Fiery Hot Chicken Noodles when it rolls round to be the option, but I know I can't consume it more than one of any of these a week due to the sodium content. (Yeah, blew that for this week to taste test them all)On ramen in general:In most cases, I would be throwing away the flavor pack (to reduce the amount of sodium), but, for the price, it is the flavor pack that I'm paying for with this product. If I want extra flavoring, I add it myself. I want it spicy I throw on some ghost pepper. If I want that umami tang, I sprinkle on a tiny bit of MSG or town in some seaweed. I have curry to throw on, and all kinds of other spices. Basically, I wish there was a bulk ramen of this type that I could buy without the flavor packets.On cooking single packs for ramen for adults:A microwave safe 36 oz bowl and 2 microwave safe plates. One plate is to put on top of the bowl while cooking, the other is to put the bowl on when you take it out of the mirrowave.Put a paper towel -small sheets keep two together - on the platter in the microwave.Put the noodles in the bowl. Put any dry ingredients other than the flavor pack on top of the noodles.Pour between 175 and 225 ml of water on top of the ramen slowly making sure pour some on all sections of the ramen. (amount of water varies depending on the product, microwave, and humidity)Put the bowl in the microwave and cook for the recommended cooking time on the pack - generally, 4 or 5 minutes.I let the bowl sit for a minute or so after the cooking time.Use hot pads to remove the hot plate and set it aside. Use the hot pads to move the hot bowl onto the room temperature plate.Now comes the part that I think most people don't do. Oil the noodles. You aren't trying to swamp them, but just enough to coat them. Use your chopsticks for fork to lift the noodles in and out of the oil until they separate and become thoroughly coated with the oil. I use sesame seed or olive oil.A this point, add the flavor packet or your own spices and mix the ramen again to evenly distribute the seasoning.You can put in vegetables to cook with the ramen or add them in uncooked at the end to suit your preference. A 36 oz bowl give you plenty of room to add in vegetables.Why do I say to use a 36 oz bowl instead of a smaller size? If you use a smaller bowl, too much of the water will boil out. The 36 oz bowl leaves more room to keep steam inside of the bowl while cooking. Don't worry about the excess pressure building up as the weight of the plate is enough to keep the steam in until the pressure builds up and light enough to let the plate up if pressure needs to be released.I've been preparing ramen in bowls in the microwave for over 20 years. It works, and it is cheaper than spending that extra $1 or so on a throw-away paper bowl. You only really have the one bowl to wash. The heated plate generally only gets steam on it that you can wipe off.You can find sets of six 36 oz bowls on Amazon for less than $16. Get the ones with high sides and not the flat wide ones. And, sure, there are plenty of fancy ramen cooking bowls you can get on Amazon that are much more expensive.

It's a silly comfort food for me, goes great with some boiled egg or greens. Obviously not a good thing to eat regularly, but it's a tasty treat to keep around for sure.

Delicious but too much heat for me. This is exactly as hot as it says.

Tastes great. Very convenient when you don't want to cook. Will buy again.

The Sizzlin' Pork flavor strikes a nice balance between flavor and spice. It's the least spicy of the Fire Wok flavors, but it still has a bit of a kick to it.I've also tried the Volcanic Mongolian Beef flavor; it also has great flavor, but it's much spicier. Just a touch too spicy for me with the Fire Sauce added, to be honest. The Mongolian Beef without the Fire Sauce added is just about as spicy as this Sizzlin' Pork with the Fire Sauce.Both of the flavors I've tried from this line are a great value for the money. Basically $1.50 apiece, about the same cost as basic Nissin Cup Noodles, but you're getting almost twice as much food and more flavor, as well. They also cost about 1/3 as much as the Tapatio ramen bowls I was initially interested in checking out when I found these Nissin Fire Wok bowls.I just placed an order for the Scorchin' Sesame Shrimp flavor, and I'm looking forward to trying that. The label suggests it has a spice level between the Sizzlin' Pork and the Volcanic Mongolian Beef.Edit: Now that I've had more experience with this product, I have to downgrade it. The problem is, you cook it for five minutes in the microwave. This reduces the liquid to a thick sauce. It's still great, but I have a problem with it. It boils over and makes a mess in your microwave. I have to lower my rating from 5 stars to 3 for this. I was interested in this product because I thought it'd be nice to keep a stockpile of ramen at work, but this is not a good product for that use. I don't want to have to clean the office microwave every time I make a bowl of noodles for lunch.
