Here’s another one from Sakurai Foods, this time a bowl of miso ramen! I read that the bowl is made of recycle sugar cane stalk – pretty cool!
Here’s the info from the side and bottom (click image to enlarge).
The noodle block. Potato starch noodles, made of flour from Hokkaido.
Powder seasoning.
Has a nice deep and rich miso flavor.
The vegetable packet.
Looks like a smorgasbord of bits and pieces – nice selection!
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added hard boiled egg with Krazy Mixed Up Salt, narutomaki, onion and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are soft and light with a night gauge. The broth has a nice miso flavor to it – rich flavor. The vegetables are nice with a good variety. All in all, a very satisfying bowl of noodles! 4.0 out of 5.0 stars.UPC bar code 4960813332650.
Here’s another new one from Joe & Gill of the UK! Wow! This is something brand new to me – instant noodles from Poland?! Yup they sure are. But what the heck is ‘Żurek?’ Well, Wikipedia has this to say:
The sour rye soup is a soup made of souredryeflour (akin to sourdough) and meat (usually boiled pork sausage or pieces of smoked sausage, bacon or ham). It is specific to Poland, where it is known as żur or żurek, and a variant is known as barszcz biały (“white barszcz“) which is made with wheat flour instead of rye. The soup is also found in the cuisines of other western Slavic nations such as Slovakia (kyslóvka). A variation of this soup is found in Czech Republic (kyselo – with mushrooms and without meat) and Lithuania.
Okay that’s cool – I have some ham I could add… Wikipedia continues:
In Poland it is sometimes served in an edible bowl made of bread or with boiled potatoes. The recipe varies from region to region.
In Silesia, a type of sour rye soup known as żur śląski is served in a bowl, poured over mashed potatoes. In the Podlaskie region, it is common to eat żurek with halved hard-boiled eggs.
In Poland żurek is traditionally eaten at Easter, but is also popular during other parts of the year. It is usually served with bread or buns, and sometimes flavored with bits of sausage, often in the plate made of bread.
I’ve got eggs too, so I think I’ll add some ham and hard boil an egg (of course after I have sampled the broth and noodles first for the reviw).
The import sticker (imported into England, that is).
The back of the package (click image to enlarge).
A big chunk of the noodle block.
The seasoning packet. A good sized one with a lot inside.
The powdered seasoning. Has a smoky scent and a definite sausage flavor – interesting!
Finished (click image to enlarge). I added thin sliced ham, sweet onion, some hard boiled egg and a bit of black pepper. The noodles aren’t bad – nothing amazing though. A nice texture that one would expect from instant noodles. The broth is very interesting. A light, smoked meat flavor – like smoked sausage. Interesting stuff. 3.25 out of 5.0 stars.

Here’s the last of the Han’s Korea trays that I have found. I think seafood sounds good for today. Let’s check it out!
Here’s a close up of the label (click to enlarge).
Here are the rice noodles.
The seasoning packet.
Looks like some chunk tastiness!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added some Costco stir fry veggies, kamaboko, kimchi, hard boiled egg with Krazy Mixed Up Salt and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles weren’t too shabby in this one – although still they were rice noodles and a little tough to break with the lips. The broth is very light – slight seafood flavor and spicy tang to it. Interesting. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 8809037615087 .
We tried kimbap yesterday for the first time – here’s a kimbap restaurant in Korea!
Here’s a lady telling you how to make kimbap. She seems a little caffeinated and strange.
Decided to do up a video of the nice Golden Pot that was sent to me by Mr. Shin, President of Nongshim Holdings – very kind thank you! Thought it fitting to try it out with some Shin Ramyun Black. Check out the video!
Here’s one I got a while ago at Uwajimaya in Seattle. It’s big, Japanese and tonkotsu flavor – sounds much better than the last one I had!
Here’s the side panel stuff – click to enlarge.
The noodle block. Looks really nice, I think.
Only one seasoning packet, but it’s really big.
I put most of the packet in this little sake cup – it would not all fit.
Finished. Added some veggies, some chicken lunch meat, kizami shoga (pickled ginger), a hard-boiled egg marinated in Kikkoman soy sauce, some Ajishima Kimchi furikake, some Sushinori (seaweed) and finally a couple shakes of Tabasco Buffalo Style hot sauce. The noodles: not bad – a nice texture and quality to them. The broth however is way too salty for me – so much so I couldn’t handle it. I was really shocked at that but oh well. Bummed. 1.0 out of 5.0 – the noodles were good, at least. UPC bar code 074410396718 – get it here.
I bet this stuff is really really good!
Mr. Noodles and a meat tenderizer. This is bizarre.
