Today, we’ve got a nice one from Taiwan’s Wu-Mu. This is a newer variety that uses wide gauge noodles for a soup – something I find really interesting and not done nearly enough. Although these noodles are absolutely excellent in a dry noodle (without broth) setting, I think in soup they really excel too. Let’s see how these end up!

Wu-Mu Ramen Soup – Chili Beef Flavor – Taiwan

Here’s the back of the package (click to enlarge). Unsure whether they contain meat – check for yourself. To prepare, add noodles and sachets to 500ml boiling water and cook for 3.5 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy!

The noodle block.

A dry sachet.

A fragrant melange…

A liquid sachet.

Thick and oily.

Finished (click to enlarge). Added scallions, soft egg, fried garlic and thin sliced beef. The noodles are broad and have a nice backbone to them. They’re chewy but not overly so. They compliment the broth which has a savory beef taste and just the right amount of spiciness to it. Very delicious! 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 4710175574515.
