Our take
CleanPlate reviewWhole wheat and no palm oil, still a salty sachet
WickedGud Fiery 2X Spicy Korean is a whole-wheat atta noodle fried in rice bran oil, with a chilli seasoning that includes MSG and a mix of dried vegetable powders.
CleanPlate scores it CB3. The C for nutrition comes from whole-wheat fibre and protein. The B for ingredients reflects the atta base, a better oil and a short additive list. The 3 for risk reflects very high sodium, offset by low saturated fat and almost no sugar.
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- On the packHolds
“No Maida & No Palm Oil”

“High fibre from whole wheat”
8.1 g fibre per 100 g, above the 6 g needed for a high-fibre claim.

“9.12 g protein”
True per 100 g, but protein supplies under 8% of the calories; this is not a high-protein food.

The flour changes; the seasoning is still salty.
Myth: "Korean-style means spicier but lighter"
It is 470 kcal per 100 g because the noodle is fried.
How often, and how
- Healthy adultsA better choice among instant noodles; use half the seasoning
- ChildrenOccasional; very spicy
- High blood pressureUse a quarter to half of the seasoning
Smarter ways to eat it
Use half the sachet
Season the rest with fresh garlic, chilli, onion and a squeeze of lemon. The flavour stays; a large share of the sodium goes.
Make it a meal
Add an egg, paneer, tofu or boiled chana and a handful of vegetables so the bowl brings protein and fibre, not just refined flour.
