Hans Lienesch, who runs the instant noodle review site The Ramen Rater in the United States, publishes the world's instant noodle rankings every year from late April to May. The ranking was decided at his own discretion by actually eating instant noodles that can be purchased in the United States.

Many Japanese instant noodles are selected at the top of the ranking every year, but this year there was a turbulence that Singapore and Indonesian instant noodles occupy the top. The 2013 ranking "The Ramen Rater's 2013 Top Ten Instant Noodles of All Time" is as follows.


10th place Mama Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum Flavor Oriental Style Instant Noodles (Thailand)


9th place Paldo Kokomen Spicy Chicken Flavor (Korea)


8th place Nongshim Shin Ramyun Black Premium Noodle Soup (Korea?)


7th place Sapporo Ichiban Sauce Yakisoba (Japan)


6th place Myojo Ippei-chan Yakisoba at night shop (Japan)


5th place Indomie Curly Noodle With Grilled Chicken Flavor Special Quality Instant Noodles (Indonesia)


4th place Nongshim Jinjja Jinjja Flamin'Hot & Nutty Noodle Soup (Korea?)


3rd place Indomie Mi Instan Goreng Rendang (Indonesia)


2nd place Prima Taste Singapore Curry La Mian (Singapore)


1st place Prima Taste Singapore Laksa La Mian (Singapore)


Regarding the 7th place "Sapporo Ichiban Sauce Yakisoba", Lienesch evaluated as follows.

"Sapporo Ichiban Sauce Yakisoba is always on my top ten list. Why? Because it's delicious. As the cooking progresses, the noodles gradually absorb the water, and finally the sauce is sprinkled. When you open the bag of sauce, the smell is irresistible. The green laver in the pouch that comes with it is also wonderful. "

The 6th place "Myojo Ippei-chan Night Shop Yakisoba" is evaluated as follows.

"Myojo Ippei-chan Yakisoba is served in a wonderful way. The tray not only fills the hot water and can be used as a cooking utensil, but also functions as a hot water strainer to throw away the hot water. Vegetables are also shiny. It also comes with mayonnaise! This mayonnaise makes yakisoba really delicious. "
