Mr. Noodle Spicy Sesame Paste Noodles – Taiwan

Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, boil noodles in 1000ml wa ter for 5~6 minutes. Drain, saving 30~40ml liquid. Add noodles, liquid, and sachet contents to a bowl. Finally, stir and enjoy!

While the Sichuan variety reviewed yesterday had wider noodles, these look more narrow and thick.

Smells like soy sauce.

Finished (click to enlarge). Added spring onion. The noodles are thick and very chewy – even after a six-minute boil. The Sesame paste coats throughout and soy flavor is very abundant. 3.25 out of 5.0 stars.  EAN bar code 4713106500065.
