I noticed this brilliant pink, immediate noodle cup on a shelf in a Japanese meals retailer. A more in-depth look revealed that it was from Myojo of Japan and a part of their Megami Line of noodle cups. The Megami Line has thicker noodles which have a clean and chewy texture to them they usually have been kneaded with koji salt (a miso-like moist salt) and garlic so as to add to their umami. The thicker noodles additionally assist extra soup adhere to them to reinforce the flavour in each chew. The darkish soy soup base is mixed with stir-fried pork and garlic to present it a giant punch. This sounds fairly tasty, so lets get on with the evaluation.

After I peeled the lid of the cup again I smelled an intense garlic scent. That is one in every of these noodle cups that can require breath-mints if it is advisable to have a private dialog with anybody. It additionally means it’ll style fairly good! There was a great quantity of toppings from the meat to the bean sprouts and Chinese language cabbage. I added boiling water as much as the fill line, closed the lid and waited for five minutes for the thicker noodles to correctly hydrate to the right texture.
The soup was wealthy and tasted nice as anticipated with that soy and garlic giving it punch. After rehydrating, the smells weren’t as intense as you’ll count on although. The pork backfat / soy oil packet was concentrated and intense smelling, giving the soup quite a lot of physique. The little items of meat have been your normal Myojo dehydrated meat. They a pleasant meaty style and provides some good texture (type of like sandwich ham slices) to go together with the noodle. The soup is significantly tasty and also you need to drink each final drop like I did. I can suggest this noodle cup with two thumbs up!
