This one was donated by Ramen Place – thanks again! I haven’t a clue of how this one will be. Looks like its celebrating the 10th anniversary of CheilJedang or this product. Well, let’s give it a try!
Here’s the export sticker (click to enlarge).
Here are the side panels. It looks like you add hot water, then either microwave for four minutes if you have a 700 watt microwave or for two minutes if you’ve got a 1000+ watt microwave (click to enlarge).
The fresh udon noodles.
Liquid base.
Dark stuff!
The veggies and bits.
Looks like a nice melange…
Finished. Added some kizami shoga (pickled ginger), kamaboko, hard boiled egg and Krazy Mixed Up Salt. The udon is chewy and good. Pretty standard fresh udon. The broth is sweet and has a nice taste I have found in Japanese tempura soba bowls before. A nice tempura taste. The veggies re-hydrated nicely. good stuff! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 8801007009377 – find it here.
So this one took a little work – all I knew was it was from Korea. Wasn’t sure of anything much other than that and the brand name. Luckily, those two things brought it all together. I found that this stuff is called Tofu Udon Dosirak and comes from Hanil Food Co. Ltd. in Seoul, Korea under its Bon Go Jang line of products. ‘Dosirak’ translates like ‘Bento’ or ‘Take Out Lunch.’ On their website it describes this as “fresh katsuo bushi soup with tofu udon that you can eat simply by adding hot water.”
Two packets – Soup base and veggies.
There’s the veggies and soup base on the udon.
Poured some boiling water on the noodles and let them sit for five minutes and voila. So the broth is interesting – sweet and salty and kind of tasted a hint fermented. I liked it. The veggies were insanely plentiful, and the noodles were hearty and good. I liked it quite a bit. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars!
Well well well… More of the Assi Brand boxes. Wellbeing. We shall see!
Wow! Uber packet! My curiosity is piqued!
Welcome to trippy looking rice noodle land! What are all those things in the powder? What is Katsuo flavor??? Is that it? Well, wikipedia says Katsuo flavor is… Skipjack tuna flavor! Katsuo is japanese! Okay so this is getting more and more interesting… So what we have nere are some seafood flavor noodles with funky bits going on…
Welcome to the social. So what we have here aree some interesting rice noodles with a lot of friends invited. First, let’s start with the noodles. Angel hair thin and seperate, these noodles are some of the best I’ve had in a box or bowl noodle hands down. The broth was seafood taste (rather nice of the sea) and groovy on the flavor receptor. The interesting friend of noodle here were quite excellent – looks like bits of naruto, some seaweed and some funny little things that remind me of jellyfish or some Korean rice cakes that I saw used in a cooking video. Regardless, this has been a fascinating, new and fun tromp through the garden of weird. I’m giving this one 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. Magnificent.
