Product Information

For those of you that don’t enjoy soupy noodles, popular instant noodle manufacturer Nissin has a fantastic alternative – the Nissin Soba Chilli Noodles. Toppings can range from dry vegetables and meat to sauces and soups. Some sauces even come in the form of a powder. The really innovative instant noodles will comes with exceptional toppings such as bonito flakes, seaweed or sesame seeds. So given the questionable origins of Itsu I was happy to branch out to satay (sate), a common street food staple in Southeast Asia which has become somewhat of a generic term for barbecue meat skewers. However sate is probably better known for its sauce, a delightful spiced peanut sauce (Sambal Kecang) from Indonesia (or Malaysia if you’re from Malaysia). And personally I like my ‘sate’ to be less sweet or coconutty, and more hot and fiery and Sumatran style.

But I will go out on a limb here and say these Itsu noodles are homegrown here in the U.K. Firstly, because Itsu doesn’t seem to exist in the instant ramen scene in Japan. But the potentially fictitious Yoshihiro is also said to be from “Nagano Valley” near Tokyo. I have been to Nagano before, the prefecture, the city, the snow monkeys, and Google maps don’t even know where Nagano Valley is. Anyway, they seem to be selling a more upmarket ‘Japanese’ pot noodle experience. “Eat with pride” “Eat beautiful” “Solution for foodies” which seems to be an alternative to slobbing away on a Bombay Badboy.

Nissin Soba Noodles: I would probably eat noodles/noodles soups thrice a week in Asia. And I will always go with the noodles with a bit of meatiness, a bit of bite, a bit of chew. So this is where Nissin Soba Noodles add to this selection.

These Indonesian instant noodles taste great. The Indomie Mi Goreng Fried Instant Noodles come with the most amount of extra seasoning sachets when compared to most instant noodles out in the market. This soupless fried noodle dish is best eaten with a fried eat. Like the original Mi Goreng. Battle through the outer plastic, remove the plastic tab to remove the lid, and eventually you get to a pile of noodles, two sachets and a fork.You get three sauces, special seasoning and fried onion pieces. All these seasonings definitely create a unique flavour which sets these noodles apart from the rest. The chilli sauce is quite spicy. So, if you can’t take that heat you can always limit the quantity or discard it completely.

Again I play it safe with Batchelor’s Super Noodle Pot Curry, ‘noodles in a curry flavour seasoning with peas and tomato’. Unfortunately they are worse than I remember, given they’re kind of mushy, and messy, and a bit like baby food. They’re really just not my style of noodles. I prefer a bit of chew in my noodles. And even ground white pepper and dry chilli flakes failed to save them. They’re still good for the saucepan though.
