Nissin Yakisoba - Spicy Chicken

I've been down in the dumps lately. It seems like whenever something good happens, bad news trails pretty closely.

Anyway, it's Sunday and OMN, that means another noodle needs to be reviewed. This time it's Nissin Yakisoba in Spicy Chicken. It's been around for a really long time! I think this is locally produced, cause everything's in English, including cooking instructions.

Nice - there are 2 ways to cook it. The easy way and the easier way. Of course you could go the easiest route and eat the crunchy noodles straight out of the bag, but hey, where's the challenge in that, right? :-p

Open it up and you get this - liquid seasoning, powdered seasoning, and a packet of dehydrated veggies and "chicken".

So, after putting the noodles in hot water and draining, this is what you get. Pale goodness. 

But not nearly as good as...
FINISHED PRODUCT! WITH AN EGG, TOO!

The Verdict:
(out of a possible FIVE chopsticks)

Texture
A little soft, which might not sit to well with people that like a bite in their noodles. I like how the noodles are kinda flat; more sauce can stick to them. The veggies and "chicken" add crunch, in as much as veggies and chicken actually can.

Taste
It's sweet! Like a sweet soy sauce based dressing. I don't know why it's called "Spicy Chicken" when I could barely taste the spiciness. I guess this could use a dash of hot sauce if you really wanted the spicy taste.

Size
Kind of small for a meal, but perfect for a snack! If you're particularly hungry, make 2 or 3 in one go.

Value
At 11 bucks, this can't be beat!
