About this ramen

Red Pepper, Chicken & Cilantro is Samyang MEP's fusion chicken noodle soup, which the company says it designed around US flavor trends. Its seasoning pairs artificial chicken flavor with red pepper flakes, cilantro flavor and natural lime flavor. The chicken taste is artificial flavoring — no chicken appears on the ingredient list — and malic acid adds a tart edge. Plant-based protein pieces, carrot and bok choy come in the flake packet. Samyang pitches it as lighter and less greasy than a typical chicken ramyun.
