Tom Yum “Shrimp” Ramen

3.7 • 3 Reviews

I get that they are trying to be healthier than normal ramen and more sustainable through not using animal products and they are but it's still refined grains, the concentrated wheat protein can be inflammatory, and it is single-serve non-recyclable, non-compostable packaging. I do like that they sell topping mix though

Clearly in the minority here but I really like immi and reach for it often when I want something quick and protein-forward that also scratches the "comfort carb" itch. The texture of the noodles doesn't bother me as I always prefer my ramen noodles on the chewier side and I find the flavors - while not necessarily true to what they are named after - still satisfying and robust. For someone who doesn't usually seek plant-based foods.

I wanted to like these so badly! I tried the shrimp flavor originally and it was a hard pass, nevertheless I pushed on and tried the black garlic thinking maybe I just chose the wrong flavor. Except there was no flavor, like at all. The texture of the noodles is way off but that I could’ve dealt with, having to dr up the flavor with all sorts of add-ins to have any sort of flavor really felt like it of defeated the purpose of instant ramen at home. Unfortunately this was a no go for me.
