Ramen 22: The Power And The Chook

Incredibly, I found four more as-yet-unreviewed chicken ramen noodles! Let’s get to tasting…

Coles Chicken Brown Rice Noodles (283 Calories, 3.4 g fat, 1470 mg sodium)

This was very good! I was still a little jet-lagged when I tried this one and the rich broth and tasty noodles gave me an energy injection. If I lived here in Australia, I’d eat this one again: 8/10

Supreme Noodles Chicken Noodle Cup (372 Calories, 13.7 g fat, 1610 mg sodium)

By comparison this was absolutely terrible. Wretched stringy noodles and a bit of overly-salty flavoring led to a woeful ‘meal’ that belongs in the bin. A miserable 1/10.

Coles Chicken Instant Noodles (1285 kJ, 13.4 g fat, 1095 mg sodium)

I had the brick version of this last year and it is at best acceptable. This is a ramen you’d eat to stay alive but not ever choose. I’ll give it bonus points for the abundance of veggies but as an uninspired example it’s only worth about 5/10.

Maggi Wholegrain Chicken 2-Minute Noodles (960 kJ, 1.3 g fat, 900 mg sodium)

Brick noodles seem less common here than in the USA, and chicken examples are quite rare. This unusual wholegrain version of Maggi chicken noodles are very low in fat and sodium, and I enjoyed them quite a lot. A good chicken taste combined with some slightly chewy noodles meant a nice dinner after a 35,000 step walk on a sunny day. I’ll probably eat this one again: 8/10

And so the series that I thought ended years ago racked up yet another installment. Could there one day be another (which would introduce the 60th noodle)? I hope so, and I know you do too 🙂
