This has to be one of the strangest instant noodles I’ve seen. No instructions. Strange packets. Here we go with #666!
Here’s the little ingredients list – on the front.
Here’s the back of the packaging (click image to enlarge).
The noodle pack: strange and ominous.
Okay this is weird. A small packet of powder seasoning on the right year, but on the left, a clear, unsealed plastic cellophane packet with… I’m going with green onions and black pepper but it sure looks suspect.
No instructions… Okay so let’s go with 350cc of boiling water and steep it.

The broth is tasty but kind of ‘off.’ Has a bit of an industrial taste to it. The veggies kind of float here and there and taste a littrle weird. I dunno – it’s interesting, but not great. 1.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC barcode 4712275000017 .

Thats so weird how they left that packet unsealed like that. Seems that air or moisture would get in, right?
Yeah – only time I’ve ever seen such an occurrence!

I looked through the ingredients (at the lower right of the packet) and it didn’t mention chicken stripes at all.
Maybe those were caramelized onions?
At the front, the 2 Chinese characters below Chinese Instant Noodles mean “no need to cook”. The 3 big characters(read from top to bottom) below the red mountain logo say “Black Chicken Brand” and another 3 words on the right with yellow glow mean “Chicken Stripes Noodles”.
The front packet also mentions that this brand won a Food Quality Gold Award. And the noodles are “high class nutritious snacks, with complete seasonings”.
I can’t find any instruction to prepare the noodles. I guess what you did was correct. I’ve never seen this brand before…
This is “Chicken Stripes Noodles” – I guess the unsealed packet contained dried chicken stripes. It looks weird though…
Very weird! Can you translate more off of it maybe?
