#905: Tradition Vegetable Flavor Instant Noodle Soup

Not sure, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a green cup of noodles. Oh wait – I think the Mushroom & Chicken Pot Noodles was green… anyways, here’s a green colored, Kosher cup noodle by Tradition.

The instructional lid.

The noodle block. Has seasoning infused.

Some veggies poking around at the bottom.

Finished (click to enlarge). Added stir-fry veggies and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are pretty darn good – very light and soft. The broth has an interesting vegetable medley kind of taste to it. If you’re looking for something groundbreaking here, you won’t find it – however you will find an a-ok comfortable cup noodle. 3.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 735375603258

I was thinking, what would be a good video for these noodles. Look what I found on YouTube – This is awesome!

Here’s some music for ya – Medeski Martin & Wood.

#880: Golden Wheat Korean Style Seafood Noodle Soup

Here’s the last of the instant noodles my sister brought me from Canada earlier this year. Big ol’ seafood cup – let’s give it a go.

Side panels (click to enlarge).

A folding fork!

The noodle block.

Powder seasoning packet.

Lots of fine powder.

Seasoned oil.

That’s some funky looking stuff!

Veggies!

Nice little mixture.

Finished. Added onions, some odeng (Korean fish cake), some processed cheese and some Crystal hot sauce. The noodles are kind of funky; crumbly and chewy at the same time. The broth has a light taste – seafood is there for sure. The veggies aren’t bad. This one wasn’t very exceptional – 2.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 6921555586259 .

This is awesome!

This lady’s brave.

#853: Dongwon RaUdong Unfried Noodle With Kimchi

Haven’t had a fresh noodle bowl in a while and thought this would be a good day to try one out. This is one my sister brought me back from a trip to Canada earlier this year – thank you! Kimchi flavor! Let’s give it a try.

Here’s the distributor sticker.

Side panels – click to enlarge.

The fresh noodle package.

Liquid base.

A dark, thin liquid.

Vegetable flake.

Nice looking mixture.

A seasoning cake!

I love these things – they suck up the liquid and become an awesome addition! This one’s freeze dried kimchi.

Finished. Added a little more kimchi and some of these seasoned spicy fresh cucumbers from H Mart. The noodles are what you’d expect from a fresh noodle bowl – chewy and wide. The broth was very nice – has a good balance of heat and flavor. The re-hydrated kimchi was everywhere and very nice as was the vegetable flake. Premium stuff! 4.5 out of 5.0 stars – this was classy and quite good. UPC bar code 883298618917 .

A Dongwon TV commercial – wish I could find one for this product!

This commercial makes my wife laugh a lot!

#835: Mr. Noodles Shrimp Simulated Flavour Instant Noodles

All good things… Well, these weren’t all that good but they were a lot of fun! Thanks go to Mark K. and Erika L. for getting these to me! They sent a slew of different flavors of Mr. Noodles and they were really my first foray into the world of Canadian instant noodles! Now it is time to give the last pack a try. Here we go!

Back of the package. Something interesting – all the others were imported by Anderson Watts Ltd. of Burnaby B.C. and not Vancouver, B.C.

The noodle block. They’re so crisp and uniform!

The seasoning packet.

The seasoning awaits becoming broth.

Finished. Added a couple scrambled eggs, some Huy Fong Sriracha chili sauce and some Krazy Mixed Up Salt. The noodles are funky; they are almost doughy! Weird. The broth has a bit of flavor but not a lot and not a shrimp flavor. I dunno – it’s so fascinating and so meh. 2.5 out of 5.0 stars – fills the belly. UPC bar code 059491000303 .

Mr. UU (double u) – right on

This is a huge hit in Korea right now – Psy – Gangnam Style

#815: Chencun Stewde Chicken Of Mushroom

See? it really says it right there – stewde chicken of mushroom! I think this has to be one of my favorite misspellings yet! My sister brought me this back from Canada earlier this year. Let’s have a look!

Side panels.

A folding fork! See more of ’em on the Included Forks page!

The noodle block. A large clump of rice noodles. I’m curious if they’ll be stiff and chewy of nice and free-flowing of edibility.

Powder seasoning.

Interesting – has a slightly granular appearance.

The liquid packet.

Looks like a seasoned oil that’s congealed a bit.

Veggie packet.

Looks like a light smattering to me.

Finished. UPC bar code 6911754103395 . Despite steeping for about five minutes, the noodles didn’t seem to completely get all the way done – at least in patches. Those that did get done were soft and enjoyable. The parts that didn’t weren’t hard or anything, they were just not all the way done. The broth has a sort of chicken mushroom taste to it and a surprising thickness as well. The liquid packet is prevalent in the greasiness here. The veggies weren’t bad but more is always preferable. All in all, it is about as I expected; a passable mushroom of chicken – I mean chicken of mushroom… I don’t know but it tasted like a chicken mushroom with wide rice noodles kind of thing to be. 3.25 out of 5.0 stars.

Chicken of the woods eh?

Bizarre Lingzhi mushroom found from 80+ meter deep well
