I am curious because I love Ramen but I hesitate to eat it because I am allergic to MSG and I think what makes Ramen tasty is the seasoning. I can't read Korean so I am clueless as to the ingredients on the package. Doesn’t Ramen contain a high amount of MSG (in the powder packets)?

That being said, Martina is pretty embarrassed that this video (with it's gloriously bad infomercial acting) should be featured on your well read blog. *^_^* You're totally right about the broader category of "noodle + broth" variety. After we added the udong we thought, "Aw crap, this totally isn't ramyeon." Also, we didn't include the popular ramyeons because all our friends already know and like them. We wanted to give the lesser explored *coughcheesecough* ramyeon a chance. Sorry about the jjajang results! Can you recommend a better brand for us? -Simon & Martina Hey Fatman, thanks for linking our video on your super-awesome-delicious blog!

That said, you should definitely visit their site and tell them just what you think of their methodology! Personally, Fatman is rather fond of the jjajang flavored noodles . . .
