GoGo noodles

I thought to myself today…what is this obsession with food pictures? Why do I like to document food through photographs? I must admit that I do scroll through my own posts and admire the pictures that I’ve taken over the past year and a half. They make me hungry. As I write this post and look at the pictures of this tasty treat I’m reminded of how freakin’ good this flavor was! I got a big whiff of shrimp when I peeled back the lid. Inside the cup, on top of the noodles are dehydrated ingredients like thinly sliced tako (octopus), cabbage, dehydrated segments of imitation crab, green onion and egg puffs. All covered with white creamy seasoning powder. In went the hot water exactly to the fill line and the 3 minute wait began. My mouth watered as I waited in anticipation. When it was finally time, I peeled back the lid and savored my first bite. The milk seafood flavor is like a super light version of clam chowder, minus the clam flavor. More like crab chowder. You get extra bursts of flavor from the little egg puffs because they soak up the soup. With all the accoutrements, this meal in a cup turned out to be a very substantial lunch. Why do the Japanese torture us like this? Why don’t they release this delicious flavor here in the states for us to enjoy? Oooooh how I yearn for more. More Milk Curry too.

Introducing a new milk curry flavor for cup noodle lovers! Curry plus milk? Makes sense…sounded odd at first but Thai curries usually have coconut milk, so not so far out. It’s very interesting to me how the traditional Japanese diet doesn’t include dairy products like milk and cheese but when used, they have found a way to combine it with flavors that are strangely tasty. A few examples: camembert plus cod, tofu and cheese, curry and cheese. And yes, it does taste as good as it looks. The curry flavor is mild yet full of flavor and the texture of the noodles are soft, chewy and airy. The chunks of potato and soy add lots of texture and makes for a heartier meal. The Japanese are so clever! They think of everything, there’s a nifty pull tab at the bottom of the cup. Has this tab always been at the bottom of all the cup noodles and I just never noticed? I was very lucky to get my hands on this special treat as it’s not available in the states. Why are we always stuck with the boring flavors like shrimp and beef?

Another donation from Fanny to the noodle cause. I’m not positive what flavor these noodles are because all the words on the package are in Japanese except for the nutrition label, but I would bet money that it’s mushroom flavor. This was the first time I’ve ever tried instant soba noodles. For some reason, I woke up at the crack of dawn on Saturday and the first thing that I had on my mind was eating a pack of instant noodle. I suppose I felt a little guilty starting out my day with something so un-nutritious so I figured soba is a little healthier which would make it okay. I peeled back the lid to find little pebbles of seasoning, dehydrated scallions, mushrooms & fish cake. The whole mixture kinda looked like dog food. I filled the cup with hot water and covered for about 10 minutes. When I uncovered the noodles, I was amazed to see that the noodles looked just like the picture! And the best part is that it tasted good! The noodles were hearty and the rehydrated veggies tasted very fresh. The flavor of the soup had the distinct earthy flavor of mushrooms. I have to keep a look out for more Sanyo brand noodles and for other instant soba products. This is a must try if you can find it.
