Haven’t tried this one before, although seen it a few times at the store. Udon is a wider gauge noodle and usually when mentioned so prominently is of the fresh variety. Fresh in a non-refrigerated? You’ll understand in a minute.
Here’s a close up of the ingredients, nutritional info and directions (click image to enlarge).
Here’s what I’m talking about when I mention fresh noodles. These are not dry, although they’re not wet. They’re in a sealed bag.
Here’s the liquid soup base.
Has a nice and strong soy flavor.
Here’s the veggie packet.
This looks like a lively little assortment!
Finished (click image to enlarge). I added two pieces of narutomaki (bet you can spot them). The noodles are your standard fresh udon I’ve sampled before – nice and chewy and wide. Good stuff. The broth is excellent – salty, lots of soy flavor and a nice seafood taste. The flake pack was great in this one – little pieces of kamaboko, tempura and seaweed. All in all a nice dish I rather liked. 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 031146156917 – get it here.
Apparently there’s some kind of contest involving KPop band B2ST? Well, here’s one of the videos people have submitted.
Here’s another one.
This is one of my absolute favorite Nong Shim varieties and I’ve been eagerly anticipating your review of the bowl version for quite some time!
By the way, your website is one of my favorites and I visit all the time… please never stop reviewing 🙂
Hey glad you like the site! I’ll probably review the non-bowl version soon as well.
