#3193: Maruchan Seimen Curry Udon - Japan

Here’s one from Japan Ramen Box – a subscription service out of Japan. Here’s what they have to say about this variety – ‘The curry udon version of Maruchan’s popular noodle series!
Enjoy the natural texture and raw flavors of noodles that have gone through the “raw noodle manufacturing method” to ensure they’re as tasty and delicious and possible! The curry is flavorful and has an added sweetness from onion and pork seasonings, and the smooth, rich noodles only help to bring it all together!’

It’s curry time! Let’s give it a try.

Wow – pork and nice big pieces of vegetables.

A sachet of nori.

A nice big piece!

Finished (click to enlarge). Added hard boiled egg. The noodles are absolutely excellent – nice and chewy but not tough. They’re perfectly hydrated and of a good, thick gauge. The broth is really good too – a soy sauce flavor with a little sweetness and a beautiful oiliness. The piece of seaweed is an excellent plus as well as the garnish pack which included pork, bamboo shoot and spring onion of which all were excellent.

Here’s one I got early this year the MBS TV station sent to me after I did the God Of Patena TV show! Thanks again – hope to be on again someday! Let’s check it out!

Here’s the back of the package (click image to enlarge). Not sure if it contains meat. To prepare, boil 500ml of water. Add the noodle block and cook for three minutes. In a separate bowl, add the contents of the liquid sachet. After the three minutes of cooking, put the noodles and broth into the bowl, stir, and it’s done.

Has a nice scent.

 

Finished (click image to enlarge). Added hard boiled egg and pork I sauteed with a little garlic salt. The noodles were premium with a nice gauge and chewiness that was akin to fresh variants of store-bought fresh ramen noodles. The broth had a good saltiness, but not overly so. It had a rich depth in soy taste, but not overwhelming. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars.UPC bar code 4901990511001.

Here’s the appearance I did on God Of Patena!

This is a fancy one from Japan sent by the kind folks at MBS Planning! Thank you! From what I could translate and infer, this is a special, premium pack of noodles. Let’s check it out.

The back of the package (click image to enlarge).

The noodle block.

A single packet of seasoning – liquid.

Slightly thick, dark liquid.

Finished (click image to enlarge). Added baked chicken, hard boiled egg and green onion. The noodles are nice – they have a good texture to them I like. The broth is very much a shoyu – nice quality and flavor. This is definitely a premium variety. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 4901990510943.
