This is 'Cup Noodles, Sichuan Pepper Hot Pot Noodles'



NISSIN FOOD PRODUCTS offers a series called 'Cup Noodles of the World' that incorporates dishes from all over the world, and a hot pot with a long history has been selected from China as this noodle.



The package says, 'The soup with the bitterness and spiciness of 10 kinds of spices is accented with the crispness of Chinese pepper.' However, according to Nissin's spiciness standard, the spiciness level is '3'. , '1' out of 5 levels of squeak, and the balance is moderately spicy and weak.



Looking at the raw material names, the soup contains beef tallow, spices, lard, chicken seasonings, etc., and the kayaki contains seasoned minced pork, chingen greens, kikurage, green onions, and red pepper.



Calories are 343 kcal per 74 g of meal.



A red pouch of special chili oil (chili oil) is attached to the top of the package.



Looking at the contents, the noodles underneath the sardines, such as minced pork and bok choy, were covered with a large amount of red-black powder. When you bring your face closer, you can feel the scent of chili peppers and peppers, so this is the spice pattern that reproduces the hot pot.



Let's cook. The amount of hot water required to make it is 310 ml.



Waiting time is 3 minutes. While waiting, keep a small bag of special chili oil warm on the lid.



After 3 minutes, remove the lid and pour in the special chili oil ...



Stir well to complete.



First of all, when I drank it from the soup, the chili pepper stands out among the 10 kinds of spices, and although I feel a stinging pain for a moment, it is a spicy thing that does not have a tail. On the other hand, the squeak is only slightly felt, and when you exhale after drinking the soup, the flavor of the pepper will come out of your nose. The other spices had a cumin-like taste, so they had a slightly curry feel. The umami component is stronger than these spices, and the umami of beef is felt to be savory, so it is quite addictive.



The noodles are the familiar, smooth and chewy noodles of Cup Noodles, and the soup is often entwined. The occasional bok choy and the crispy texture of the wood ear were accented.
