Tung-I Instant Spicy Beef Flavor Noodle

This particular brand of ramen was a staple in our household growing up. I think the packaging has changed a few times over the years, but the important stuff inside has stayed the same. They are a good example of Taiwanese noodles, which tend to have thinner, more deeply fried noodles.

The picture of the cow on the cover of the packaging is quite disturbing. He looks like he's got mad cow disease or something! But there is not actually any meat inside, so I wasn't actually that disturbed.


I really like the flavor of these noodles. They are savory and spicy and go well with the noodles. There are plenty of carrots and scallions to add a change of pace. The broth is not nearly as spicy as the Korean alternatives, but is still fiery enough to give your lips a tingle. Overall, this pack is definitely recommended.

I'm looking for these noodles! Where can I buy this brand? Or can you post the new packaging?

I've been looking for years to find this since enjoying it in college circa 1999. I know the original manufacturer has been bought out by another company however I'm hoping someone out there may know what a re-labeled version of this is OR some alternative that's comparable.

I'll otherwise spend the rest of my life unsettled and on an endless trek to find this OG Ramen!
