Eventually, I’ll get through everything I want to do for the Maruchan Meet The Manufacturer series – there’s a lot of them to go through and then unite all together. I’m cobbling everything together slowly. I got this one at the Kenmore, Washington Safeway store – your standard American domestic grocery store. In these stores, there are two areas you will commonly find instant noodles. There’s the soup aisle, and the ethnic foods aisle. These are in the soup aisle. They’ve got a few varieties of trays – some Maruchan, and some by a competitor . I think I’ll have to see what other Maruchan ones they’ve got, but thought this might be a good one for the trays. Let’s check it out!

The noodle block.
A sachet of vegetables.
A large sachet of powder seasoning base.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added spring onion, sesame seed, crushed red pepper, and mung bean sprouts. The noodle came out really quite well. Also, there’s quite a large quantity. The flavor is a sweet teriyaki taste with beef notes. I must applaud this; so many ‘teriyaki’ flavored items available in the USA are very vinergary and acrid, while this is more tuned to what you’d find at a teriyaki joint. The vegetables are great – nice quantity. All in all, quite a nice meal for under $2. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 041789007071.
