Two things I really enjoy are pork and garlic. Two more are curry and bacon. But hey – today it’s garlic and pork and I’m pretty happy about that. Now the question is: can a product made to have lots of protein and vitamins and be made to be healthy taste good. I’m really hoping so! Every once in a while there are game changing products in the instant noodle world and this could very well be one of those. But no way to find out until it gets a taste. Well, let’s hit it!
Vite Ramen Garlic Pork – United States
Here’s the information panel (click to enlarge). Note this was furnished by the company and not on the obverse side of the package shown above. Contains pork. To prepare, add noodles to 2 1/2 cups boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Add vegetables, seasonings and oil sachets and stir. Let soup cool to 160ºF (71ºC) then add the ‘Noodtrient packet’ for optimal nutrition. Finally, stir and enjoy!
The non-fried noodle block.
The soup base sachet.
Fluffy stuff!
The ‘Noodtrient’ sachet.
A light powder.
The vegetables sachet.
A nice amount of vegetables!
A liquid sachet.
Canola oil.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, nanami togarashi, spring onion, umemaki, soft egg and chashu pork. Noodles are flat and very soft – but have a very hearty tooth without being gritty. The broth was very light but had a decent taste to it. Vegetables included cabbage which was great. Was surprised also as with the last review how filling these are for being on the lighter and healthier side of the coin. 4.5 out of 5.0 stars. No bar code.
Watch me cook this one up!
