noodles in a pot

[Trustmeimadoctor]

i also have the sweet chilli and chicken ones to try but im not holding out much hope.

the kabuto chilli chicken ramen ones are better much fresher flavour and as the noodles are finer you seem to get alot more.


i need to get back to a major city so i can get some decent ones with writing i dont understand as i like the surprise of not knowing what im getting

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Anyone else had the cannibal noodles? Had the hot and sour ones today lots of sichuan pepper it's one of those that has like 5 packets of stuff to put in

[Trustmeimadoctor]

These are decent, they are called cannibals

Nice flavour, good spice, numbing and very red!

I'm really enjoying Korean rice cakes in pots at the moment

You talking the thick rice sticks (tteokbokki) - love those, hate the cost.

Yes those ones, they are very delicious!

Care to share with fellow noodlers as to what's currently in the basket?

Couldn't place the order as apparently I had something frozen in my order, I didn't that I could see so I gave up!
Will look again tonight, was going to pop to one in Leeds but forgot doh

Usually use sing-kee at the merrion center find choice better than taste of the orient for noodles

But obviously both city center I'm not really local so dont go very often

This was a twist on "Noodles in a Pot" as these include 'Rice Cakes'! Now the name may conjure up visions of a crispy snack made of rice crispies and the like but they are far from it. During my first stay in S.Korea doing my 3 months indoctrination workplace training we were wondering round the street markets looking for something to eat (in the hope of finding something a bit less like oriental food) and this old lady was stirring a massive pot of what looked like sausage casserole. Was a bit of a shock when the 'sausages' turned out to be chewy fairly bland non meat flump like things.

Anyhow here's the contents...........



I followed the instructions to the letter which was cold water up to the line and 3.5 minutes in the microwave (luckily we have one in work as I refuse to have a microwave at home)......





Pleasantly surprised after chewing through a couple of the rice cakes. Good noodles and a lovely spicy tomato broth - will buy again but will use twice the water for the broth and I'm sure boiling water will work as opposed to a microwave 8 out of 10

Edit: and add a big dollop of Kimchi

I blame Trustmeimadoctor for this
In Watford we have a couple of small oriental supermarkets, the newer one does have a range of (not cheap alas) tteokbokki pots - these three cost me £9.70. There was also a tomato Yopokki one in a pink pot called the "Pink Rocket for the lovely girls" which I resisted.

Ha I spent 48 there the other day

That one top right looks interesting so I googled Yun Pin Xian which led me to this..............

There's 9 sachets of stuff in there - definitely going on my list to try

I had that one today it was nice enough not stellar though

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Mmmm I like pepper

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Will hunt them out

I'm thinking of giving up on chilli somewhat, it's not a problem going down but once it's in there!

I even had a spicy MCchicken sandwich other day obviously eating it, it's hardly even warm but it wasn't a fun afternoon

I've not read the whole thread for the obvious reasons, but how are 'Cup Noodle' Soba rated on here alongside the quite frankly terrifying range that is available via the internet? I 'found' them in Sainsburys a year or so ago and £1.70 for the 'big' one seems the going price. Are the ones double that worth trying?

I do like the Hot ones. And the Yakitori.

compared to the good types out there they are a bit crap but they are a staple and you know what your getting

[Trustmeimadoctor]

The big soba are 1.75 in Morrisons at the moment the gdgular 1.89!!!!
