#801: Gấu Đỏ Mi Tôm Chua Cay (Hot & Sour Shrimp Flavour)

Here’s the last of the packs that Carter B. sent from his time in Mali. Hot & sour shrimp sounds awesome – so let’s give it a try.

Back of the packaging.

The noodle block. The sun has found the cracks in the blinds!

The dry seasoning packet.

Interesting stuff – a lot of crumbly things in there.

Oil and seasonings.

Lots of bits in this stuff… Hmmm…

Finished. Added one egg with Huy Fong Sriracha hot chili sauce, some Fresno peppers, some Cavender’s Greek Seasoning and a few Blue Diamond Sea Salt almonds. Hey yum! The noodles are thin and flat and kind of, well, stringy. They have some pre-seasoning going on as well. The broth is great – a nice hot and sour and reasonably shrimpy. Wasn’t expecting I’d like this one as much as the other Gau Do I have, but I like this a lot – 3.765 out of 5.0 stars! UPC bar code 8934679941826 .

Here’s a commercial for this one.

Amazing Donation Of Ramen – From Mali!

I got an email on facebook from a guy named Carter B. a while back – he mentioned he was in Mali and that there were some instant noodles he’d like to bring back and send me. How could I say no to that? I had all but forgotten about the offer when I got a message saying he was back in the states and had some to send!

What amazing things could be in this box???

Whoa – never seen any of these before! I do recognize the Kailo brand from Hong Kong, but not in a pack form. The GauDo are from Vietnam and I’ve never seen them before! The ones I’m most curious about are the ‘Golden Mie’ – they’re products of the United Arab Emirates! Wow, that’s a first!

Thanks again Carter! Some Ramen Rater stickers will be hurtling towards you in the snail mail very shortly!
