I’ve seen this on Amazon and elsewhere kind of recently but never in the ‘wild’ until this last weekend. Well, as I type this I mean September 28th 2024 last weekend. My lovely wife Kit took us over to S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington for a quick noodle hunt and three varieties of this range were lurking. It wasn’t really a quick hop over there – there was some insane traffic on the way home. However there was a bit of rain and a nice rainbow for the kids to enjoy on the way back while we sat in traffic. This one is made in South Korea by Samyang let’s check this out!
Picantia Chipotle Beef Ramen Noodle Soup – United States
Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add sachet contents and room temperature water to fill line. Microwave for 4 1/2 minutes at 1000W. Finally, stir and enjoy!
Detail of the lid (click to enlarge).
An instant noodle block.
A sachet of soup base powder seasoning.
Loose bits and seasoning from the bowl.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added scallion and crushed red pepper. Noodle has a nice gauge and chew. The broth has a strong cumin scent, but a more bitter spicy demeanor. Beef flavor? Ehh maybe. The included vegetable was nice and ample, however the soy protein beef bits were spongy. 2.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 192699000161.
