Found this at our local Safeway the other day and honestly not feeling too confident on this being a showstopper given the history of this brand in my reviews. The little thing that says ‘includedes real deal chili crunch’ is a little odd. This could be good. Or not. Let’s try it out.
Snapdragon Chili Crunch Ramen – United States
Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add everything but the ‘dragon tears. Fill to line with boiling water and cover 3 minutes. Finally, add ‘dragon tears,’ stir, and enjoy!

An instant noodle block.
A sachet of soup base powder seasoning.
Yeah I dunno about this…
A sachet of vegetables.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added mint, sesame seed, crushed red pepper, sauteed chicken, and Mae Mai. The noodle initially was way off the mark – ten minutes later? Not bad. The broth without the chili crunch sachet was a funky chicken, but with it it was actually quite nice. If only the noodle had been better. Also – I couldn’t find anything that ‘crunched.’ Perhaps not as real a deal – oh wait – the vegetable did crunch, but that’s not chili crunch… That being said, I did actuaslly like it. I loved how the oiliness interacted, the light Sichuan pepper flavor. 3.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 815055011846.
