This was a score. Why? Well, I hit Grocery Outlet yesterday in search of noodles to review (it happens from time to time) and saw these. I had to do a double take – the multipack was $1.99. Why so cheap? Expiring next month. No prob lem there. I’ve not reviewed this in ages so I thought an update would be nice especially at that price point. Let’s cook it up!
Nongshim Soon Veggie Noodle Soup – United States
Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add everything to 500ml boiling water and cook 4.5 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy!
A single from the multipack.

An instant noodle block.
A sachet of soup base powder seasoning.
A sachet of vegetables.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added egg, sesame seed, scallion, ground beef, and pepper thread. Noodle is pretty good – gauge and chewiness are decent. The broth has a very mild heat and then a kind of broccoli flavor. It was alright, however when I’ve had it previously it really blew me away and this time it was pretty marginal. I think they must have changed it or I just have a slightly changed palate I’m not sure. Now, don’t get me wrong – it’s not bad, just not as good as I remember it. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 031146022847.
Amazon – really wanna try this one
