Water for more than one pack
| Packs | Pack math | Lighter option (80–85%) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 pack | 550 mlabout 2⅓ US cups | as on the pack |
| 2 packs | 1,100 mlabout 4⅔ US cups | 880–940 ml |
| 3 packs | 1,650 mlabout 7 US cups | 1,320–1,400 ml |
| 4 packs | 2,200 mlabout 9⅓ US cups | 1,760–1,870 ml |
Pack math is the single-pack amount times the number of packs. When Nongshim and Ottogi give figures for several packs (Shin Ramyun, Jin Ramen), they work out at 80–85% of that, because less water boils away per pack. Start with less; you can always add hot water.
Tips
- The pack suggests adding a boiled egg, fried tofu (yubu) and fresh vegetables.
- The kelp is there for flavour — you can eat it.
- Neoguri is sold in a spicy (얼큰한맛) and a mild (순한맛) version; check which one you have.
