noodles in a pot

[Trustmeimadoctor]

I must admit I'd rather an itsu for a quick lunch in town than a McDonald's

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!

Cracking ta......more shopping it is then

[illmonkey]

Have acquired some, will photo when home and you can tell me how ste they are!

Last McDonald’s I had was at 2am, smashed. It’s all it’s good for.

[illmonkey]

Here we go.

Bottle left said stir fry, others were cheap…

[Digger]

Good thing you have some Kleenex handy . . . .

The yellow pack possibly the better tasting out of those three . . . but instant noodles are a subjective topic.

the itsu gyoza are great i just chucked a packet in the microwave and then stuck them in a bowl of the prima taste laksa ramen and they were superb

They are great shallow fried too.

I like the Itsu stuff, the gyoza are great freezer fillers, and the ramen noodles are pretty lush. No fan of the Wagamama sauces, which is strange considering it's (by far) my favourite "fast food" outlet.

Many thanks for the contributions to this thread, I only stumbled across it a couple of weeks ago and have bulk purchased some Nongshim and Acecook pots from Starrymart, top recommendation.

Gonna try this tonight from frozen with a drop of oil for about a minute then add a few spoons of water pop a lid on let steam for five minutes.

Had another delivery yesterday as in a drunken conversation the other day I invited our friends down for a noodle and dumpling night

I keep loads of the frozen itsu stuff as well, the Korean beef ones are my favourite. Shallow fried then steamed with a little bit of water in the pan. Bang on

. . . thanks to you Dicky I got curious & purchased the Itsu beef dumplings - first time purchase of any of them

Turned out Waitrose have the range on offer at £3 down from £4.25 which equates to 25p per dumpling . . . nice.

[Trustmeimadoctor]

The pancakes and bao are very enjoyable too

[Digger]

Does consuming all 12 dumplings constitute a proper meal?

I steamed them but next time I might do the pan fry & steam- just need to find a bigger lid

OOH! I'm sensing another starry order for some Prima Taste . . .

[The Rotrex Kid]

I just had 8 for dinner, hoisin sauce for dipping.

[dickymint]

So did a dummy run with the dumplings using the fry then steam method, tomato hot pot base and a pot of freeze dried instant chicken and mushroom rice......



The freeze dried rice was a tad runny compared to the vacuum packed version I tried last week which was like proper sticky Korean rice but ok..........




The main thing is Wifey absolutely loved it which was a surprise as normally She doesn't like my 'noodle' exploits!! I think She's coming round to it though






Note: I accept this quite a deviation from the thread as in "Noodles In A Pot" but It's pretty much instant and takes only minutes to do

[sc0tt]

I flew with easyjet on Monday and the lady next to me asked for the katsu naked noodle pot.

The hostess handed it to her and poured the boiling water in.

Immediately the lady tries to tuck in to the crispy katsu goodness.

She then complained to the crew that the noodles were crunchy and would like another pack

[daqinggregg]

No Idea of the manufacturer, name or broth. Instant noodles, broth filled beef balls, chilli oil and minced garlic.



Money shot.



Yes, I know l need a larger bowl,

[thetapeworm]

Broth-filled beef balls sound interesting - I presume they come frozen? How do you cook them?

Can you get other versions? I don't eat red meat any more but a chicken variant might go down well if it's an option...

I need to spend more time in those freezers instead of looking for oddities like chicken ovaries to photograph
