Today my wife asked me if I had any non-spicy noodles without much broth. It’s pretty rare for her to ask me to make her some noodles; she’s not the biggest fan of them, and really doesn’t like broth – she’s usually game for yakisoba or mi goreng as long as it isn’t spicy. I looked around through my stores of noodles – the ones in my son’s room, the ones under my desk, the ones that arrived the other day that are sitting in boxes in front of the fireplace. So this is the one I thought she might like. These are by a company that ranked high on my top ten Taiwanese instant noodles list that I contacted, asking if they could possibly send some varieties I couldn’t get here – and they did. Let’s see how we like them.
Here’s the back of the package (click image to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself.
The cooking direction are on a side panel (click image to enlarge). To prepare, add one noodle block to 400ml boiling water and cook 3-5 minutes (I cooked them for 4). Stir in sachet contents and cook another minute. Enjoy!
The above pictures are of the 4 pack bag. This is one of the individual packs found inside.
The noodle block.
The paste sachet.
Has a kind of pork scent.
The vegetables sachet.
Lots of different bits including peas, carrot and cabbage.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added boiled pork, fried shallots and spring onion. The noodles have a very premium feel and chew – just wonderful. The broth had a masterfully spiced broth – lots of really great flavors coming together all at once – and a good consistency as well. The vegetables hydrated to perfection. I’m impressed – and my wife enjoyed it as well! 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 4710589440772.
Here’s a different variety – Whole Wheat Instant Noodle (Steam Beef Flavor)
