Oh God - this is going to go the way of the teaspoon thread isn't it?!

Has to be Korean for me. Long handles are great ...........

Bargains in Taste the Orient today, about £4.50 for this lot.



I had the cheese ones I posted earlier in the thread the other day, they were just spicy with a kind of parmesan packet to sprinkle on at the end but not unpleasant.

Is there such a thing as codes for Starry Mart to get free delivery - shot in the dark!

Picked this up at the Staples Corner Wing Yip today. Looks like they have finished the refurb and there is a lot more in stock (except half the items I want ...). Not that many decent noodle pots either.

[Digger]

Yes - I was there a few days before you for the first time & also disappointed with there selection of pots & packets.

I was hoping they might stock some Prima Foods La Mien but alas nope!

[dapprman]

Well tried that pot tonight. Lots of packets including two folded forks (I suspect it should just have been one).

Instructions and cover picture infer to use a 'real' bowl, however with the plastic forks I decided to go ahead with the cardboard pot - also there was an internal line which did match 600ml of water with the noodles in there.

Water drained, packets added and stirred, did look a little sloppy

Was actually rather tasty and the noodles had a nice chew to them - and felt as if that was correct, not under/over cooked. Were a tad too slippery for Japanese hachi though. Next time I'll use a form (or my long unused metal Korean chopsticks)

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

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.

Who is the manufacturer Dapprman - trying to find it on StarryMart's website?

@Dickymint

I haven't seen the "stew type" one before but the normal ones are a staple here - what's in the pot other than noodles and sauce? Any unusual dehydrated nuggets to add excitement?

some greeny black shriveled-up things which I don't quite remember eating. I love spicy food but these are way hotter than nong-shin ramen.

Ah yes, the mystery black things, I've had those before

They definitely lift your spirits a bit spice-wise, great for clearing out your various passages.

"Stew type" generally use the flattish noodles which have a more chewy texture. They take more water but usually have a thickening agent in the dry packet which gives them more of a shine too - I prefer them to the runnier soup variety. Tastes the same to me just different texture. The third type is 'stir fry' where you cook the noodles on their own (sometimes with the dry veggie sachet) and drain most of the water then add the rest.

Unfortunately I only got the one and so the packaging was thrown after eating it.

Does anyone know of any decent gluten free pot noodles, my GF daughter is keen to try some.

@dicky, you had the bowl version right? Where did you pick it up from?

Any other recommendations?
