The spicy fire trend reaches everywhere – here’s one from MAMA of Thailand now! It’s nice to see honestly; people really seem to like it hot and that’s something for years that wasn’t really offered. Something ‘hot and spicy’ was often anything but. Let’s see if this one packs a punch!
MAMA Oriental Kitchen Hot Korean Flavour – Thailand
Detail of the package (click to enlarge). Unsure whether it contains meat – check for yourself. To prepare, boil noodles and dry sachet 2 minutes in 400ml water. Drain. Add in wet sachet contents. Finally, stir and enjoy!
The noodle block.
A wet sachet.
A thick sauce/paste.
A dry garnish sachet.
Greenery.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added micro arugala, black sesame seeds, Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, and soft egg. This is definitely a Thai take on the fire noodle. Noodles are thicker and chewier which works nicely. Flavor is strong and definitely has the same style of heat although a little different. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 8850987148200.
I was contacted by a contact over at Thai President Foods about a new variety – and here it is! Salted egg. This may be an unfamiliar flavor to westerners, so here’s a little about it from Wikipedia –
A salted duck egg is a Chinese preserved food product made by soaking duckeggs in brine, or packing each egg in damp, salted charcoal. In Asian supermarkets, these eggs are sometimes sold covered in a thick layer of salted charcoal paste. The eggs may also be sold with the salted paste removed, wrapped in plastic, and vacuum packed. From the salt curing process, the salted duck eggs have a briny aroma, a gelatin-like egg white and a firm-textured, round yolk that is bright orange-red in color.
Salted duck eggs are normally boiled or steamed before being peeled and eaten as a condiment to congee or cooked with other foods as a flavoring. The egg white has a sharp, salty taste. The orange red yolk is rich, fatty, and less salty. The yolk is prized and is used in Chinesemooncakes to symbolize the moon.
Salted eggs can also be made from chicken eggs, though the taste and texture will be somewhat different, and the egg yolk will be less rich.
Salted eggs sold in the Philippines undergo a similar curing process, with some variation in ingredients used. They are dyed red to distinguish them from fresh duck eggs.
Alright – let’s check this out!

The noodle block.
A dry sachet.
A light powder.
A wet sachet.
A thick paste.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added soft egg with a sprinkly of NuTek Salt For Life, Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts and coriander. Before you start, yes I know – salted egg is most definitely not a just an egg with salt on it. The noodles came out nicely – gauge and chew very much on point. I wasn’t expecting the texture – very, very good with the seasonings. A spicy and fascinating melange of flavor including a kind of egg yolk smashed kind of feel to it that was really nice. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 8850987148651.
Here’s a new variety sent by the nice folks over at Thai Foods in Thailand – thank you! I’m really excited – my son Miles and I haven’t done a spicy noodle challenge with anything from Thailand thus far and I think this might be the one we’ll try. For those of you who haven’t tried before, tom yum is a spicy, citrussy and tasty flavor from Thailand usually in a soup form, but here is a dry noodle. Let’s give it a try!
Here’s the back of the package (click to enlarge). Contains shrimp. To prepare, add noodle block to 400ml boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Add in contents of shrimp sachet and cook an additional 2 minutes. Drain. Add in remaining sachet contents. Finally, stir and enjoy!
The noodle block.
A dry base sachet.
A granular mixture.
A liquid base sachet.
Paste!
A solid ingredients sachet.
Shrimp.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added coriander, fried onion, 31-44ct shrimp, nanami togarashi and Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts. The noodles are great – a little thicker than I expected and light kind of like a yakisoba noodle. The flavoring coats throughout. It’s a very spicy (and not a bitter spicy) hit alongside a classic tom yum flavor – notes of spicy and lemongrass cooperating skillfully. The included shrimp were quite good, although I would have loved a ton more. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 8850987148255.
Here’s a box that came last week – been a lot of videos lately! In the past week aside from the new Live Cooking videos, I’ve recorded over ten new vids! Recording is quick, editing takes a lot of time! Let’s open this neat box from Thailand and have a look at what’s within!

This sounds interesting! I don’t think I’ve heard of rice vermicelli in gravy before. It looks like it will be beef gravy from the picture. Guess we’ll see! Let’s have a looksie…
Here’s the back of the package (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add everything to a bowl and add 210ml boiling water. Cover for 3 minutes. Stir and enjoy!
Superthin vermicelli.
The first of two sachets, this one large and dry.
Lots of fluffy powder.
A large liquid sachet.
Thick and oily!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added beef and basil. The vermicelli came out very well – and of course I used a pair of kitchen scissors to do a couple of cross cuts. Now, the gravy was definitely gravy; very thick and very good! I am really impressed with this one; has a kind of beef kind of spices kind of hint of spicy thing going on and just kept my tastebuds confused, astounded and fascinated. It’s not extremely often I find something new that is nothing like I’ve tried before and like it, too. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 8851876000265.
