Another one I found at Safeway which wasn’t there the day before when I found that Hot Pot Fusion one I reviewed this week. I’ve got strong opinions on this one. If it is indeed rich and savory, that’s what should be concentrated on. I don’t see people looking to instant noodle cups for protein; they’re health conscious. Another point on the whole of the big ‘protein push’ is that chicken is gram for gram protein. You sauté up a small piece of chicken breast – it’s ALL protein. I’ve seen a lot of things come and go in the instant noodle world and I hate to say it, but this looks like it’ll be gone possibly before this posts. But hey – it’s a competitive market and companies have to throw a lot of products at the wall to see which ones stick. Good luck – maybe it will, but I have my doubts.
Noodleolotics aside, this sounds interesting – let’s hit it up.
Nissin Cup Noodles Protein Rich & Savory Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup – United States

An instant noodle block.
Loose bits and seasoning from the cup.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added egg, sesame seed, scallion, and crushed red pepper. Noodle is decent – hydrated well, standard gauge. The flavor is really nice – but too soft. It needs a saltiness to it and honestly that’s a surprise as it has almost 1,500mg of sodium. Kind of left wanting. 3.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 070662408018.
Amazon – Apparently there is also a beef version
