Here’s the next to last of the Annie Chun’s varieties they were kind enough to send for Meet The Manufacturer. Spicy Chicken Ramen sounds awesome! Let’s check it out.

The fresh ramen packet.
The liquid soup base.
Has a spicy scent!
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added bell peppers, onions and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are nice and fresh with good firmness – good stuff. The broth is indeed spicy and has a rich and deep flavor I found very enjoyable. This is a good one! 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 765667140109 – get it here.
Here we go with some more Annie Chun’s product! This one’s Vietnamese Pho, a flavor I have enjoyed dining out and dining in. Let’s see how this version of Pho does!
Here’s the back and side panel details (click image to enlarge).
The noodle pack.
Liquid soup base.
Has a nice beef scent.
Another one of these seasoning blocks!
I am so fascinated by these things. The re hydrate so nicely.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added some Apinya Thai Chilli Sauce. The noodles are nice – good chew and very fresh. I found them interesting though as they’re wheat noodles instead of the traditional rice noodles one would find in pho. The broth is really quite good! Nice beef taste and sweet basil and other spices are there – very good! The seasoning block unleashed a lot of nice veggies! All in all, I’m quite enthused! 4.0 out of 5.0 stars.

Here’s something interesting – a kimchi fresh udon bowl made in the US! Let’s give it a look!
Here’s detail from the cardboard outer (click image to enlarge).
Under the cardboard we find this little plastic box. Not at all flimsy either.
Inside, we find a few things. First, a pack or fresh udon.
Next, a packet of liquid soup base.
A thick liquid.
My favorite! I just love packets full of 1.2.8.6.D! I wonder what this number means…
Actually, I do love these! This is a seasoning block. Basically its freeze dried seasoning and veggies in a nice little square. They spring back to life and are really great from the ones I’ve had so far.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added sweet onion, odeng (Korean fish cake) and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are very good – thick fresh udon. The broth delivers the kimchi flavor very nicely; spicy and tangy. The seasoning block gives some nice kimchi too. This is an awesome kimchi udon with great authentic flavor – 4.5 out of 5.0 stars.UPC bar code 765667100400 – get it here.
Annie Chun’s TV spot.
For you gluten free folks, here’s something about a different Annie cCun’s product. Looks like these guys have done a series of these videos with the cellphone ringtone music!
Here’s another one from Annie Chun’s . This is one from their Ramen House line. Let’s check it out!
Here’s the back of the package (click image to enlarge). Note in the instructions how it calls to drain the noodles and add a separate broth.
Here’s the fresh noodle packet.
Liquid soup base packet.
The thick liquid has a mustard scent and taste although I didn’t see mustard in the ingredients, but rather onion and mushroom were towards the top.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added hard boiled egg with Krazy Mixed Up Salt, green onion, sweet onion, kizami shoga (pickled ginger), and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are good – nice and fresh. The broth has a rich, deep flavor I really liked – especially for a vegetable based broth. I would have liked to have seen a veggie packet since it was a vegetable flavored ramen. Good stuff! 4.0 out of 5.0 stars.UPC bar code 765667140307 – get it here.
Apparently there have been contests where you can win Annie Chun’s dinner party packages – pretty neat!
There’s a wide array of other products that Annie Chun’s makes – I’ve seen these seaweed snacks mentioned a lot.
Yet another one I am very surprised I haven’t reviewed in the past. Curious to see how this one fares.
Details from the back of the cardboard outer (click to enlarge). Look at that – it recommends using the microwave – I’ve not seen this before on the instructions for a cup noodle!
Here’s the cup itself.
Again notice the mention of microwaving the foam cup – what a trip!
Here’s the noodle block.
The soup base packet.
Here’s the powder itself.
Wow – a lot of veggies in this one – plenty of corn and little green bits!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added a hard boiled egg, baked chicken and some Krazy Mixed Up Salt. The noodles are decent – nice texture and good amount. The broth has a soy sauce taste and some hints of miso. The veggies are quite good – I’m impressed with not only the quantity but the quality. Corn is usually one that doesn’t want to re-hydrate very well and these do quite nicely. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 076186700010 – get it here.
