We Slurped Instant Noodles With Eric Kim to Crown One Ultimate Winner | Wirecutter | Taste Test

Welcome to Wirecutter Taste Test, a series where we try various foods in a head-to-head test — yum! Our hosts then have the difficult job of crowning one winner. This week, our noodle tasters are Eric Kim, who has authored hundreds of recipes for NYT Cooking, and Marilyn Ong, who has taste-tested more than a hundred instant noodles for Wirecutter (our jobs are so hard).
