Ve Wong Spicy Beef smells like Kung Fu brand noodles the moment you open it, and it tastes like them too. James said that makes sense, since Ve Wong and Kung Fu are competitors in Taiwanese instant noodles.
Produced in Taiwan by Ve Wong Corporation.
What’s in the Package
Inside the packaging, you’ll find a rectangular block of fried wheat noodles and two flavor sachets. The silver seasoning sachet contains a beef-flavored powder base. This is paired with a transparent Flavored Oil sachet that contains a thick, dark red chili paste.
How to Cook Ve Wong Spicy Beef Noodles
- Bring about 500ml (2 cups) of water to a boil in a small pot.
- Add the noodle block and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Turn off the heat.
- Add the seasoning powder and squeeze in the Flavored Oil (chili paste).
- Stir well and serve.
How Does It Taste
It’s got a really good depth of beef flavor. It tastes like beef noodle soup. You can taste the star anise, and the Chinese cinnamon comes across pretty strong. The spice is a 2 out of 5.
The broth is a 2 out of 5 on viscosity, a little thicker than watery. The noodle brick is smaller than most instant ramen packs. The noodles are thin and wavy.
How Does It Compare
In the Ve Wong lineup, the Sesame Chicken is the lighter one. The Spicy Beef has more flavor. If you want another Taiwanese beef broth with star anise, try the TTL Wine Stewed Flavor Noodles. The Thien Huong Vi Huong Beef also reminded James of Kung Fu beef noodles.
How to Level Up Ve Wong Spicy Beef Noodles
While it cooks on the stove, add sliced garlic and some raw sliced onion. Sliced roast beef on top is good. Pastrami would be good too. We need to do a pastrami recipe with this one.
Final Verdict
A good Taiwanese spiced beef instant noodle. It tastes like Kung Fu noodles, and the star anise and Chinese cinnamon are good together. There’s a lot of flavor for such a small packet.
