VIFON Bun Lau Thai – Thai Style Instant Vermicelli

Oodles of Noodles — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:47:23 +0000

Although the cooking suggestions say to cook the noodles in the bowl I normally boil instant rice noodles in the pot (especially rice vermicelli). I usually use a hot water dispenser for cup and bowl noodles but the temperature of the water isn’t thaaat hot to begin with so it doesn’t cook rice noodles very . . . → Read More: VIFON Bun Lau Thai – Thai Style Instant Vermicelli

SHIRAKIKU Sanukiya Somen

Oodles of Noodles — Sun, 24 May 2009 13:35:04 +0000

Today was a sad day. I don’t often meet a noodle that I don’t like….but unfortunately, I met one today. Excited to try somen for the first time and intrigued by the word “fresh” on the label, I had high hopes for this noodle. When I opened the lid, I was delightfully surprised . . . → Read More: SHIRAKIKU Sanukiya Somen

San Jose, CA: Bun Bo Hue An Nam

Oodles of Noodles — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 06:10:14 +0000

This is the best bun bo hue ever. And good bun bo hue is so hard to find because, first, there aren’t a lot of restaurants that serve this and second, there aren’t a lot of restaurants that make this well. We were first introduced to this place by a good friend. He . . . → Read More: San Jose, CA: Bun Bo Hue An Nam

Homemade: Chinese Spaghetti With Shanghainese Noodles

Oodles of Noodles — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 04:11:01 +0000

Raw and cooked Shanghainese noodles. I’m not even sure how to describe the flavor of this. No idea what’s in the sauce. As I was getting ready for work this morning I ran into anthony’s mother rummaging through the pantry looking for the other jar of Chinese spaghetti sauce. Chinese spaghetti sauce? I didn’t realize . . . → Read More: Homemade: Chinese Spaghetti With Shanghainese Noodles

HOME MADE: Kao Piak

Okay, don’t laugh but this was my attempt to make Laotian rice noodle soup. I realize now that the noodles are a wee bit thicker than it’s supposed to be….but considering that this was my second time making the noodles from scratch, I was happy that these turned out edible. The ingredients (rice flour, . . . → Read More: HOME MADE: Kao Piak

SAU TAO Ho Fun Abalone Chicken Flavor

Oodles of Noodles — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 04:27:25 +0000

I was pleasantly surprised by the extra care that was taken in packaging the noodles. I like that it came in a protective tray because the noodles are very delicate but it makes me feel bad because it seems wasteful. Protective but not environmentally friendly. Not soon after the noodles moved from the . . . → Read More: SAU TAO Ho Fun Abalone Chicken Flavor

CHIKARA Hot & Spicy Udon

Sister, this is my first blog about udon so I dedicate this to you. Unfortunately, Chikara hot & spicy brand noodles were not great. Anthony complained that there wasn’t enough msg which I sort of agree with. Also, to my disappointment, the soup was not hot & spicy as the package claims. I . . . → Read More: CHIKARA Hot & Spicy Udon

NISSIN Demae Vermicelli Rice Noodles – Spicy Flavor

Oodles of Noodles — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 06:07:41 +0000

There isn’t a distinct flavor that comes to mind when eating these noodles and it wasn’t very spicy. I decided to use only half of the palm oil because I just read in an article about how much saturated fat is in palm oil – about 50%! Not like eating a packet of instant . . . → Read More: NISSIN Demae Vermicelli Rice Noodles – Spicy Flavor

VIFON Bun Rieu Cua – Sour Crab Vermicelli

Oodles of Noodles — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 06:34:55 +0000

I was very curious to taste these noodles and wondered how the flavor of bun rieu would translate to instant form. Very interesting to find that there were 4 seasoning packets. Soup base, fried garlic, dehydrated veggies and the big one is the oil and bits of crab meat (i think). Can you see the lumps of . . . → Read More: VIFON Bun Rieu Cua – Sour Crab Vermicelli
