<Review>
The sweetness and umami that spread in your mouth captivate you with the first bite, followed by a rich, savory flavor that delivers a heavy punch. Just as the sweet and salty flavors fade and you start to feel a bit greasy, the acidity of the vinegar balances the taste. The meat provides a hearty meal, while the subtle aroma of the perilla leaves used as a garnish adds a refreshing touch to the ramen, which could otherwise feel heavy.
The only downside is that I felt a bit tired of the taste after eating about half of it. Personally, I think it is difficult to completely eliminate the greasiness from the pork fat and the oil used to stir-fry the ingredients, no matter how much the vinegar helps to cut through. Come to think of it, since I can't handle spicy food well, I reduced the amount of chili peppers by half, and I think that contributed to the problem. I will use the full amount next time.
I think if I had cooked a whole packet of ramen, I would have finished it cleanly. However, I think one packet would still leave me wanting more.
It seems like a recipe worth trying at least once. It tastes better than delivery [Jjajangmyeon].
