Been a while. This time's addition is an instant noodle bowl. To be specific it is a Koka brand Instant Rice Noodles, Thai Hot and Sour flavored.
The contents are the dry flat rice noodles, and two packets, although the purple packet has two different compartments. There is the dry soup base and a chili sauce. The white packet labeled garnishes contained red and green flakes. I think the red was chili peppers. Here's what it looked like after I emptied it all out.
The instructions called for 2 cups of boiling water for 3 minutes. I used water from a water heater that should have been at 208 F. I assume it's probably less than that, but it turned out about the same. It certainly made it more convenient.
Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of spicy. So for spice fans, this was probably mild at best. It was hot and it was sour. So I guess it met expectations. The noodles were smooth and not mushy. I found two shrimp in there that were about as long as the diameter of a dime. They tasted ok. Overall, not bad but not great.
