#911: Nissin Top Ramen Cucharealo Home-Style Habanero Shrimp Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup

Here’s the last of Nissin’s Cucharealo – the Habanero Shrimp. Been waiting for the right time to try this out and today is the day!

The back and side panels (click to enlarge).

Here are the noodles – thin and short.

The boxes have three packs of noodles and three packets of powder seasoning.

The powder. I detect lime and some heat, too!

Finished (click to enlarge). Added three shrimp that I sauteed in butter, Crystal hot sauce and minced garlic, sweet onions, some shredded cheese and some Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are short and plentiful. The broth has an initial lime hit then to a shrimp taste then the very strong habanero – this stuff is spicy! Pretty good stuff! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars.

#736: Maruchan Yakisoba Spicy Vegetable Flavor Homestyle Japanese Noodles

Haven’t done one of these in a while! This is another one donated by Ramen Place. Spicy vegetable huh? That’s a kind of weird flavor. I have seen vegetable / vegetarian flavor and then spicy varieties, but not usually spicy vegetable. Well, let’s try it out!

Here’s the bottom…

Here’s the inner lid.

The bid rectangular noodle block!

Packet one – the vegggies!

Lots of veggies be here!

Here’s the seasoning – this gets stirred in after the cooking.

The seasoning is plentiful.

My boy Andy had some noodles too! He picked Sapporo Ichiban Shio!

Finished. Added some veggies we got locally, a little chicken lunch meat, a hard boiled egg, some pickled ginger, some Ajishima Kimchi furikake, some Krazy Mixed Up Salt and a little Huy Fong Sriracha chili sauce. Not bad – I liked the noodles and they did have a bit of a spiciness to them – not a lot though. The veggies were quite good. I added a tiny bit more water than called for – our microwave is a mean old cus and ultra powerful so I think that’s the safe way to go – not a ton but maybe 1/32 cup or so. All things considered, not bad – 3.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 041789007095 – get it here.

#690: Maruchan Yakisoba Savory Soy Sauce Flavor Homestyle Japanese Noodles

Here’s another one from Ramen Place! Thanks! I think this should be a tasty one – let’s see!

Here’s the bottom of the package.

Here’s what you get after you take off the outer plastic.

Here’s what the noodle block looks like. Broad noodles.

The powder packet.

It gets stirred in after the cooking goes down.

Veggies! Quite a bit of them too!

Looking good!

Finished. I added some Bird’s Eye Stir Fry veggies and a little roast turkey breast lunch meat on the  right. Also tossed in a little kizami shoga (pickled ginger) as well as some Ajishima Kim Chi Furikake. I like the noodles – they did really well for being a microwaved meal component. I added about a sixteenth of a cup of extra water and I think that may have been a good idea to avoid dryness. The sauce is excellent – a very mellow soy sauce kind of flavor. The supplied veggies are good – fresh tasting corn and cabbage going on. I really enjoyed this – 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC barcode 041789007088 – get it here.
