What’s up noodle sluts.

Someone at work had some of these things today and it reminded me of joining your noodle clan.

So, where do I begin? I like love noodles and want to get some of these for easy eating.

Not a fish fan, so prob most of them out! Can take heat, don’t really like ‘soup’ style, more if a yakisoba kinda guy, but get they all have a sloppy sauce.

Ta!
"Noodle Sluts" that needs a T Shirt rofl

Fierce memory! Almost all gone, think there are 5 or 6 nests left. Will be restocking though.

Not sure about rehydrated peas though, need to give them a go! If you have any pea heavy suggestion, they are most welcome.

Yakisoba rang a bell so I did a search of my past orders and found these from 4 years ago.......








I like to 'youtube' noodles before I buy them and this is the video that prompted me.............



Excellent as they are or add whatever you like to them thumbup

the shin noodles stir fry i think are better than the soup based ones

as they are dry they are quite versatile

Try the Samyang "hot pepper" ones I've posted a few times above if you can find them - you drain them and then add the seasoning, they aren't spicy but they are "peppery".

https://www.foodforfoodies.co.uk/products/samyang-...

They usually come as single packets or a 5 pack.

Yep and thanks for the code Digger every little helps thumbup Can't remember if you've had them before but those Laska ones are stonking. We had a couple of friends round one evening and I served them up with some prawns and Bok Choy and bits - they were gobsmacked after I showed them the packet they came out of and how easy it was.......more converts hehe

Thank You Starry Mart!

Which one to try first hmmm . . .

Haha it was your post the other day that reminded me how good they are - my order from Starry should be on the doorstep later today thumbup

Think I ordered their Satay Chicken kit as well.
No complaints.

Fried off some partially-defrosted Aldi king prawns for a couple of minutes adding chopped spring onions (for crunchy texture) for a few seconds - set aside & cooked the noodles per instructions adding back the prawns & spring onions for the last 30 seconds.

Lovely chewy noodles & sauce was ace! Will try the curry one tomorrow & at some point soon will compare with the the non-wholegrain versions.

Left-hand packet pictured above, the Laksa is what you see below.

Oooff looks good - it's the bag of white powder that does it hippy

thanks for all the replies!

Having a look at seems I need to buy 20x any of them! Anyone know a site that sells individual ones? Some supermarkets stock some of the brands but not the specific ones mentioned, which is a shame. Even then in packs of 5 for £5, but that is better than 20.

I did find one but they wanted £19 delivery! mad

Most on here treat it more as a hobby than a way of saving money. It is a minefield to start with until you get to a stage where you can dial in what type you enjoy (type of noodle, heat strength and flavour, soup or dry etc.) and what to avoid. It can, well it is for me, be quite time consuming as many of the packets have very little info on them in English.

I like to use Youtube to see videos and reviews before I order anything new. Sometimes I even do a Google 'search image' to find a link to reviews. Then invariably this takes you off on several tangents and more time wobble

Many of us use https://starrymart.co.uk/ as a good supplier but there are several others. Like you say they have minimum spend limits to get free delivery but once you know more or less what your after and include other ingredients like Gochujang, plain noodles etc. it's easy to hit the limit and of course to order a couple of single noodle pots to try.

Starrymart are also on Amazon so you can also get "Prime Delivery" on stuff. Maybe something like this to get you started.........


https://www.amazon.co.uk/CNMART-Nongshim-Shin-Nood...

For what it's worth and knowing you prefer dry as opposed to broth and not stupidly hot this is still one of my go to noodles.....



This guy takes it to a different level using a different brand (not as good as my link above to Paldo where the sauce sachet is much better than powder)



Right gotta go to butchers as It's a boring old Lancashire Hotpot tonight thumbup

Done their noodle soup on here last week. Yours say Gyoza so I'm dying to see if they have propper dumplings in them. Hurry up and show us what's inside and where did you get them?

Yes it had two Gyoza in them, I have eaten all of the contents already, sorry, it was great. Part of the meal deal at Tesco!
