TTL Wine Stewed Flavor Noodles

TTL Wine Stewed Flavor Noodles is a Taiwanese instant noodle with pork broth and a little packet of real Taiwanese rice wine that you pour in right at the end.

Produced in Taiwan by Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation.

What’s in the Package

Inside the packaging, you will find a rectangular block of thin, wavy wheat noodles and three sachets. The silver and green powder sachet has the soup base and dried herbs, like goji berries. There’s even one that looks like a tree branch. The second sachet is the fat packet. The last one is a white and blue sachet with the Hua Tiao rice wine.

How to Cook TTL Wine Stewed Flavor Noodles

1. Bring about 500ml (about 2 cups) of water to a boil in a pot.
2. Add the noodles, the seasoning oil packet, the seasoning powder packet and the wine packet.
3. Stir well and cook for about 3 minutes, until the noodles are as soft as you like.
4. Taste, adjust the saltiness and pour into a bowl.

How Does It Taste

It smells very herbal. James pointed out Cordyceps and Goji berries. You can taste the comforting pork broth, and the rice wine goes in right at the end. It’s a little sweet from the Goji berries and a little sour at the end. The fat packet makes the broth a little thicker.

It’s so comforting. This is a healing soup. It’s what you want in the winter or when you’re sick, because the herbs are supposed to help you feel better. No spice at all. If you dig around, you’ll find dried scallions and a goji berry or two hiding in there.

The noodles are thin and cook in about 3 minutes. They’re a 1 out of 5 on thickness.

How Does It Compare

I haven’t reviewed anything quite like this. The closest is the Ve Wong Sesame Chicken, another herbal Taiwanese broth. The Vifon Instant Porridge Beef Flavour is another sick-day bowl, but it’s a Vietnamese porridge. The rice wine is what makes the TTL different.

How to Level Up TTL Wine Stewed Flavor Noodles

I would put rotisserie chicken breast on top. Add whatever veggies you have at home too, like broccoli.

Final Verdict

This one is so comforting. It’s a herbal pork broth with real Taiwanese rice wine, and it’s what I want when I’m sick or when it’s cold out. Save the wine packet for last.
