Big thanks to Pher Engi for sending this along! This is an interesting one – I had a chat with my friend Jamie some time ago about Marmite and instant noodles. He sent me some little containers of the stuff and recommended it on toast – and it’s pretty good I must admit. Maybe in the future I’ll get some and make some noodles and mix it in. This on the other hand in Vegemite which sounds like the same thing – the leftover sludge from making beer. Let’s cook it up and see what it tastes like!
Maggi Vegemite Flavour 2-Minute Noodles – Australia
Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, break up noodle and boil 2 minutes. Drain, leaving 2 tbsp water. They recommend adding 1/2 tsp butter and a 1 tbsp of grated cheese. I’ll do the butter.
An instant noodle block.
A sachet of soup base powder seasoning.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added a snip of mint and butter as per instructions. Noodle is about as you expect – the standard Maggi 2 Minute Noodle. The flavor… Yeah, I get yeast exract flavor in there – I think this might work on toast. It’s a strange thing. Not bad, but not intense. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 9556001137678.
