Simply Asia Spicy Kung Pao Noodle Bowl, 8.5 oz (Pack of 6)

Amazing flavor and incredibly affordable for the price!

Since I just posted a review on the Thai Kitchen Spring Onion Soup, I figured I'd write on this Kung Pao Noodle Bowl. The noodles are mostly cooked, but they do need a little hot water for a couple of minutes as per the directions in the microwave, or adding 2-3 tablespoons of water along with the noodles if you are cooking up your own vegetables. I've found I prefer to break the noodles up a little bit while in the clear plastic packet. They are spicy and strongly flavored, so it you double the volume with vegetables it is still quite flavorful.My younger son says these are simply too spicy, which comes as no surprise. My teen daughter, who has a better palate, and is actually a little pickier than I am, likes these quite a bit. We've added red cabbage, shredded carrots, yellow and wild onions, and garlic grass to this. As a warning, unlike these insta-bowls with the dried noodles, the sealed moist ones will develop a terrible taste if you discover one three years old hiding in the back of your pantry. They develop an deeper off-brown shade instead of the fresher cream/tan color, and taste awful. That takes over three years, so it's not a problem with the product, just don't purchase these as food for your emergency stash...

I ordered these because i love spicy and was looking for something other than instant ramen cups to snack on. Saw 'spicy' and thought i'd try it.Now, it's easy to prepare - max of 3 minutes to prep + cook. And that makes it pretty decent.It's pretty flavorful, which made it enjoyable since.. it's not spicy at all. And the flavor isn't particularly wow-inducing either as once the noodles get even slightly room temperature you'll have trouble tasting much of that flavor.all in all, i'll give it 3 stars.

Quick and easy meal. has noodles, sauce, veges and peanuts.

Ok but not what I was hoping for
