Everyone I know seems to enjoy stepping foot into Trader Joe’s. Personally, I’m loathe to enter it. The silly bells, the caffeinated out overly engaging checkout people, the haphazard design of the aisles, the customers hanging out in groups here and there, oblivious to others and impeding travel through the place… Yeah, I don’t like going in there usually. However, I went in there recently with my wife and it was somewhat enjoyable as I found some noodles there. Now, Trader Joe’s makes nothing – nothing at all. They get companies to do private label products for them. This is one of those – made in Taiwan. These are Taiwanese dry noodle, a time-honored cuisine. Well, let’s just call ’em squiggly fun time noodles! Egad. Well, whoever manufactured them, I hope they’re getting paid good. Hopefully these are good, too. Let’s find out.
Trader Joe’s Squiggly Knife Cut Noodles With Soy And Sesame Sauce – United states
Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, boil noodle for 4 minutes. Drain. Add sachet contents. Finally, stir and enjoy!
A block of dry noodle.
A sachet of sauce.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added egg, sesame seed, crushed red pepper, chashu, and scallion. Noodle is great – good gauge and chew with a decent flavor, however it’s a bit muted – more oily thank flavor. These are good though and reasonably priced. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 00744720.
