I thought I’d tried all of these but it appears I was wrong. So here’s yet another Souper Meal – Nissin’s answer to America’s need for another ‘Hungry Man’ style food product.
So it comes with three packets. The ‘Finishing Touch’ is a sort of sauce which is mixed in after you’ve cooked the noodles in the microwave. Yes – the microwave. Rarely do I find myself with a microwave-only product but this is one of those. No directions for cooking other than in a microwave are supplied with this bowl. To the right of the Finishing Touch packet is the seasoning powder packet followed by the veggies – and a lot of them there are that’s for sure. A nice touch.
So you add water up to the fill line and microwave for 4 to 5 minutes. I ended up giving it 5 minutes. Noodles came out perfectly cooked.

Well, here goes… The noodles weren’t all that impressive to me and quite honestly, I much rather have the noodles from Top Ramen than these ‘premium’ ones. The broth was nice – has a good little nip to it from the spiciness. The veggies were more than adequate. What kind of surprised me here was that it wasn’t all that tasty. I almost think a bit less water would have made this a little more palatable. One final note is that the bits of veggies – the bell pepper in particular – remind me of Totino’s Party Pizza… Strange! Well, 2.75 out of 5.0 stars. Find it here. UPC bar code 070662007037.
Just what I’ve been looking for…
trying to find where to get the picante(not the salsa picante) shrimp noodle dinner by nissin. they used to carry it locally and no longer do. We were great fans of this dinner! you don’t have to fix it in the micro by the way.
