Nissin Chow Mein Noodles, Spicy Teriyaki Beef, 4 Ounce (Pack of 8)

I've eaten these twice now, I like them very much, spicy but not too spicy nice little burn in my throat, I will buy them again. The perfect size for me for dinner sometimes I do need a side dish but most the time no.

Yes, this is basically ramen. But this isn't your 25 cent pkg, I'm in college and can't afford to buy groceries, run of the mill ramen noodles. No powder flavor packets that, let's face it, isn't real flavorable as much as it is full of sodium. This has a sauce and oil mixture packet that packs a bunch of flavor. Granted, it has plenty of sodium, but it's so much better in the flavor department. To me, there isn't much taste difference between the teriyaki beef and the teriyaki chicken flavors. I'm ok with that, they're both good. So easy to make. Fill the enclosed dish with water to the fill line, microwave for 5 minutes and the noodles and dehydrated veggies are fully cooked. Now, I like noodles and not soup. So I drain the excess water and then I add the sauce to coat the noodles. Sprinkle on some cayenne pepper to add a little heat and you have a quick, tasty lunch. I've even added cooked chunks of chicken or small cooked shrimp to the noodles to add a little protein. Delicious.

Very tastey, spicy but not hot, good flavor and easy to prepare, just add water and a few minutes in the microwave and you have dinner!

I bought a bunch of this during the pandemic, just so I'd have something in the house if needed. When my workplace reopened, I took some in to work because at that point our cafeteria was just pitiful and not worth walking to. So this was easy to make in the microwave and certainly less expensive than cafeteria food. For the most part, it tastes good. I particularly like the spicy beef because it has a little kick to it. Lately our cafeteria food has gone downhill again and the cost has gone up, so I've taken to keeping some of these in my desk to save $. I also keep some at home for those days when I'm really not that hungry but want a little something to hold me over. They're easy to prepare. The problem I sometimes run into is that at home I know just how long to nuke it. At work, I have no idea what wattage the microwaves are or how long to set them for (not as if the timer actually works anyhow) so I've had it turn out in different consistencies. Not the product's fault, but it might help if the label listed times for different strengths. Even so, for the cost of around $1.50 per meal, it sure beats the overpriced ($6-8) cafeteria stuff. And the Amazon price is even less than my local grocery store.

Very tasty, easy to make, just add water and nuke. For the price it really can't be beat. I WILL buy more of this Spicy Beef and of the Chicken
