Annie Chun's Teriyaki Noodles: A review
Jun. 20th, 2006 06:46 pmOkay, first I have to admit that I almost had cheesecake for dinner tonight. Actually, I kind of did have cheesecake for dinner tonight. I went out to lunch with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
albauk and pookie2316 today and since I had brought lunch in, decided I only needed to get myself a snack. I ended up getting a piece of Junior's Carrot Cake Cheesecake the size of my head. It would have been plenty for two people. I ate a third of it at lunch, then ate almost all the rest after work today (I'm here killing time before going to see Tom Petty at MSG at 8. Supposed to be doing work too, but you can see how well that's going).
But then I decided I needed a little more sustanance, or maybe I was just craving salt. So I decided it was time to crack open this bowl of Annie Chun's Teriyaki Noodles I've had in my drawer. And let me tell you: I am a convert. Annie Chun, thou art an instant-food goddess.
It's vegetarian, all-natural, and even the bowl is biodegradable. But the best part is, it makes a damn fine bowl of teriyaki noodles and all you need is a cup of water and a microwave (or just a cup of boiling water -- think of the possibilities for camping!). The noodles are just the right consistency and the teriyaki sauce packet allows you to add as much or as little as you want, so it doesn't even have to be that high in sodium if you don't want it. You just pour a cup of water into the noodles and dried veggies, nuke, and drain. Some of the tiny veggie pieces did drain out with the water, but not enough that it was a problem.
This bowl cost me less than $2 at Trader Joe's and is vastly superior to ramen. There's nothing in the ingredient list you can't pronounce. And you can keep it in the office or wherever to be handy whenever you need a snack. Genius! I rate it 9 out of 10. Now I wonder if it comes in other varieties...
