When the Ramen Shop Is Too Far Away? This "Lab-Grade" Instant Noodle Recreates Authentic Ramen Flavor in Just 3 Minutes
Late at night, you open a food delivery app only to find your go-to ramen shop has long closed. On weekends, you suddenly crave that rich, savory broth but are too lazy to get dressed and go out. Or maybe you’re in a foreign land, struggling to find authentic ramen that matches your dietary preferences — have you ever experienced such "ramen anxiety"?
Kaidi Beef-Flavored Instant Noodles are here to solve these moments. It doesn’t use slow-simmered beef bones, yet you can enjoy a rich, hearty broth that tastes just like it’s freshly made in just 3 minutes. No complicated cooking is needed, but you can still get noodles as chewy as those from a ramen shop. Behind this is a "flavor simulation magic" achieved through dozens of taste experiments.
-
Geographical limitations? Not every neighborhood has an authentic ramen shop, especially in suburbs, campuses, or remote areas. Kaidi packs "ramen shop flavor" into portable packaging. Whether you’re in a dorm, office, or campsite, opening a pack turns it into a "mobile ramen shop".
-
Time cost? A proper ramen shop requires queuing for at least 30 minutes, and delivery takes no less than 20 minutes. This instant noodle only needs 3 minutes of boiling water to steep, faster than cooking regular instant noodles, yet it gives you the satisfaction of "freshly simmered".
-
Dietary restrictions? Worried that traditional ramen broth doesn’t meet Halal standards? Kaidi is not only Halal-certified (License No. 10400578) but also uses a plant-based formula to avoid meat ingredients, allowing the Muslim community to enjoy it with peace of mind.
You might wonder: Without beef bones or beef, how can it create that unforgettable "beef flavor"? The secret lies in the precise ratio of flavor science.
The richness of traditional ramen broth comes from collagen in beef bones and umami substances in meat (such as inosinic acid, glutamic acid, etc.). Kaidi's R&D team didn’t take the "slow-simmering" route. Instead, by analyzing the molecular structure of these umami components, they used plant-based ingredients to replicate a similar taste experience: Shiitake mushroom powder is used to simulate the deep meaty aroma, kelp extract enhances the freshness of the broth, and a special process balances the sweet and salty ratio. In the end, a wonderful taste of "meat flavor without meat" is formed.
Just like coffee lovers use plant-based milk to create the creaminess of a latte, this ramen also achieves "flavor replacement" with a vegan formula. Those who have tried it say, "When I close my eyes and eat it, I really think it’s from the ramen shop around the corner."
-
Noodles are "stubborn" enough: The non-fried process keeps the noodles at just the right hardness. After soaking for 3 minutes, they are still chewy and won’t become mushy after absorbing the broth — this is almost the same as the "firmer" texture you ask for in a ramen shop.
-
Ingredients are "clever": The dehydrated vegetable pack is not just for decoration. The sweetness of carrot cubes and the crispness of garlic sprouts perfectly replicate the freshness of "freshly added vegetables" in a ramen shop. The optional chili pack provides a mild spicy option, just like the "less spicy" customization service in a ramen shop.
-
Broth "locks in freshness": Using flavor encapsulation technology, the rich aroma bursts out the moment you tear open the package — this is because the aroma molecules are protected by a special process and only released when heated, avoiding the "powdery taste" of ordinary instant noodles.
-
Students: Can’t cook noodles in the dorm due to power restrictions? Use a thermos to hold boiling water and let it steep for 3 minutes, and you can still enjoy hot soup noodles. The 127g single pack is just enough for one meal, so you don’t have to worry about waste.
-
Office workers: Hungry and hypoglycemic in the office late at night? Stock a few packs in your drawer, and a cup of boiling water turns it into a warm dinner, which is 10 times more warming than a cold sandwich.
-
Outdoor enthusiasts: Too much trouble to bring a pot for camping? It’s lightweight and portable. Just boil some water and you can fix it. After drinking the soup, you don’t even need to wash the bowl (the packaging can be used as a bowl directly).
-
People with dietary sensitivities: Not only Halal-certified, but also 0 added sugar and non-fried, healthier than traditional instant noodles, and no burden after eating.
We often regard instant noodles as a "last resort", but Kaidi wants to prove that convenience and deliciousness can coexist. It doesn’t use beef bones to make broth, yet it retains the soul of ramen with technology. There’s no complicated process, yet everyone can have "little happiness" at any time.
Next time you crave ramen but can’t find a shop, try Kaidi Beef-Flavored Instant Noodles — you might find that the most healing flavor is actually just 3 minutes and a cup of boiling water away from you.
