The first thing that caught my eye about these noodles were the instructions. They said to ignore their own fill line and add a fourth cup of water. They were probably using packaging from their other products. It’s also vegan and low fat, for anyone keeping an eye on that.
Produced in USA.
The broth has this distinctive sourness to it. It kind of reminded me of the sour notes you get in that Vietnamese dish, Banh Canh. It’s not quite Yakisoba, but it’s definitely got its own unique and interesting thing going on.
To level up this bowl, I’d throw in some fresh garlic for that pungent punch and a good dash of hot sauce so you can control the heat. Grilled chicken and some earthy mushrooms would also make it a much heartier and more satisfying meal. The noodles themselves are pretty standard at a 2 out of 5 thickness-wise, but they seem like a solid base for all those flavorful additions.

Frequently Asked Questions
For the spice level, my friend James, who taste tests the ramens with me, gives his rating out of 5 based on his experience with the heat. My own spice tolerance tends to be higher than most, so James’s rating gives a more general sense of the spiciness. Keep in mind that spice is still subjective, so what’s mild for him might be spicy for you, and vice versa!
That’s how thick or thin the broth is. A 1/5 would be very watery, while a 5/5 would be super thick and almost syrupy.
This is just a general gauge of how thick the noodles are compared to other instant ramen noodles I’ve tried. A 1/5 would be very thin, like vermicelli, and a 5/5 would be very thick and wide.
Here, I’m just describing the style or texture of the noodles, like “udon-like” for a chewy and thick noodle, or “thin and curly” for a more classic instant ramen style.
