Hi folks, I just came across some of these fried ramen noodle packages and thought I'd give them a whirl to see how hot they really are.
Following the instructions on the label, I boiled the noodles for 3 minutes in 300ml of water and drained most of the water, but kept enough of the starchy liquid to make the sauce with the contents of the red packet inside. Stir-fried the noodles and sauce for about 15 seconds and the results looked like this.
Stirred in the contents of the black packet and some sauteed veggies and it make a pretty good meal. Add a fried egg on top and you've got a cheap and complete meal for a little over a buck.
Heat-wise, this is the hottest Ramen noodle dish I've ever had straight out of the package. It's well within the tolerances of most chili-heads, but it definitely made me break out into a sweat and brought the blood to my face in a rush. The flavor was okay, but could use a little something... next time I make it I'll add some minced garlic, minced fresh ginger and a bit of toasted sesame oil.
