Meet The Manufacturer: #2780: Mr. Noodle Pesto Sesame Noodles

Today we’ve got a green package. I’ve kind of tried to review them in the order of the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, violet) and while there’s no blue I think it’s going pretty well in that respect. Hey! Here’s a little info from Wikipedia about pesto –

Pesto (Italian: [ˈpesto]Ligurian: [ˈpestu]) or, in extenso, pesto alla genovese (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpesto alla dʒenoˈveːze; -eːse]), is a sauce originating in Genoa, the capital city of LiguriaItaly.[1] It traditionally consists of crushed garlic, European pine nuts, coarse salt, basil leavesParmigiano-Reggiano (Parmesan cheese) and pecorino sardo (cheese made from sheep’s milk), all blended with olive oil.[2]

For me, the scent of basil is what comes to mind when I think of pesto. Let’s see what this one has to offer!

Here’s the back of the package (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, boil noodles in 1000ml water for 5~6 minutes. Drain, saving 30~40ml liquid. Add noodles, liquid, and sachet contents to a bowl. Finally, stir and enjoy!

Soy sauce.

Finished (click to enlarge). Added coriander. The noodles were very thick and chewy. The sesame paste and what seemed to be a basil oil didn’t seem to jibe right to me. There was a kind of bitterness to it. 2.0 out of 5.0- stars. EAN bar code 4713106500034.
