Tasting Nissin's Hot & Spicy Blazing Hot Flavor Noodles

 

Today I'm trying Nissin's Hot & Spicy Blazing Hot Noodles. Like the previous one, it's a big serving and presented the same way. I cooked it in a bit more water and for 3:00 per package directions. Noodles were nice and chewy and held up well. 

I tried it without the chili sauce first. Flavor was fairly bland, and while there was a slight bit of heat, i.e. hotter than plain or teriyaki, but no real bite, there was not much flavor other than that slight piquancy. 

I opened the chili sauce and there was no particular aroma to it. Added it to the noodles and again, it added a bit of heat and not much flavor. It certainly was unworthy of the term "Blazing Hot". As with the previous tasting, I added a bit of leftover pork and maybe 1/2 tsp of sesame oil and it was OK. 

Only(!) 420 calories as packaged, and 1300 mg of sodium. 

Verdict: It was OK, but that's it. 

Taste: B-

Heat: B-
