I’ve been reviewing instant noodles since 2002, doing episodes of Instant Noodle Recipe Time, The Chocolate Break with my wife, Professional Mukbang, Unboxing Time With The Ramen Rater and more. Right now, we’re in a pretty crummy financial situation and hoping that some of the fans will be able to help out. I really loathe asking like this. I’ve set up a GoFundMe. It really is strange – you hear about statistics like ‘this percentage are one paycheck away from financial ruin.’ I love going to the thrift store and finding some trinket on the cheap. Right now, that’s a luxury I can’t even fathom, really. What’s crummy too is the time of the year that this is happening. Holidays plus my daughter’s birthday is a week before Christmas. Ugh. Here’s the link if you can help out.

A liquid base sachet.

Another liquid base sachet.

Pickled or fermented something – cabbage?

Finished (click to enlarge). Added spring onion and crushed red pepper. Rice noodle hydrated perfectly – really nice broad rice noodle in this one. The flavor was rather acidic though and just not to my liking, especially the pickled bits which were odd. 1.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 6972704971761.
