Here’s another one graciously sent by Casey P. of Hong Kong – thank you again! So this is udon – udon is a thick noodle with a nice chewy texture. It looks that this one is served cold! Andy’s going to try this one today and I’m really curious how he likes it. Let’s look and see what’s in this bowl!

Today I’ll be reviewing pollen noodles. Pollen contains carbohydrates and protein. Sounds interesting – let check these unique noodles out!

The pollen noodles. They’re not fried, they’re dried in the sun. This makes the production quantity a bit lower since it isn’t sunny every day.

The sesame sauce packet.

A nice color and scent.

The soy sauce packet.

Soy sauce.

Finished (click image to enlarge). Added beef, Vidalia sweet onion and bell pepper sauteed with Worcestershire sauce and a sprinkle of Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are thin and delicate, with a very soft, gentle texture.The flavor of sesame and soy are very nice – also gentle. It seems to me that overpowering flavors aren’t the norm in this brand; flavors that are added to enhance the noodle seem to be the way. 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 4716873920258.

Today we have something really interesting here. I often hear and see people raving about how many seasoning packets come with a pack of noodles – heck, I usually find that to be of great enjoyment. This one’s a little different – there are four different types of noodles! Let’s have a look.

Here are the stickers from the back. Viga Umbellata? It’s commonly referred to as a rice bean – here’s a Wikipedia link.

Look at this! Wow! These are all ricebean noodles with different added ingredients – from left to right, first is pumpkin, then purple sweet potato, pollen and finally seaweed.

Rich color and nice scent.

Nice onion smell!

 

Finished (click image to enlarge). Added panko breaded shrimp, Vidalia sweet onions and bell peppers. The noodles have a nice texture and there are plenty of them. It’s neat how they all work so well together. The flavor is really quite light. I liked how there were little bits of red onion in there. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 4716873920463.
