Very nice!
As usual there's nothing recyclable about the packaging but the cooking is one of the quickest I've seen, noodles in a pan and cook for 2 -3 minutes adding the flavourings, that's it and that's speedy! Still only 0.5 out of 2 for this section though.
Just before I move on, here's the entire ingredients list (noodles aside); Salt, MSG, Vegetable Flavouring, Soya Bean Extract & Spices - compare that to any packet of Super Noodles (at nearly twice the price too) and see which you prefer the look of. In fact, have a look at this review where I listed all the ingredients in the Southern Fried Chicken Super Noodles, I think it's astonishing I really do.
How do they taste? The answer is nice. There's a fair bit of salt knocking about but it really helps to bring out the other flavours. The main ones I pick up are onion and mushroom.
Do they remind me in any way of a vegetable dish? The answer is yes. They taste a bit like vegetable soup, they are salty though.
How do I feel now I’ve finished? Salty but contented, the broth / noodle ratio is bang on and the taste isn't bad at all.
Conclusion: Do not buy UK produced noodle products - unless they're Kabuto - Asian products are usually a lot better.
Need 4 Noodle Rating: 5.5 /10
I've often used these sort of noodles and tend to add tiny pieces of other veggies to the water before I add the noodles, so that they have a chance to cook. My preference is for broccoli, green beans and sweetcorn - but you could add anything you like, depending on how long you want to be there cooking it for! The saltiness can be a bind, but when you're craving salt they certainly hit the spot!
