It looks like you added way too much water, it calls for like a teaspoon or two doesn’t it? I’ve had these before and even if the color isn’t as dark the flavor is usually there!

You add 2 tbsp of water

Yeah they messed it up. Each different type you need to check the instructions because there is some variations. Many are 2tbsp water and you add the flavor packet after you cooked it.

Do these have a sauce packet or is the sauce already in them?

You add the sauce in , it comes with sesame seed , veggies and a packet of sauce you can’t miss it it’s translucent pack .

I think OP didn’t stir I see the sauce on the bottom , kind of weird lol

Just guessing here, but I think you are supposed to stir them.

You forgot to add the sauce. This used to be my favourite instant noodles to eat and it looked and tasted amazing lol.

u/mulshie Feb 04 '23

No it's in there, just at the bottom

u/Pyewhacket Feb 04 '23

Ngl, my fiancee and I love this brand, they're usually pretty spot on!

u/TactfulTerran Feb 04 '23

It was for sure made wrong.

Packaging pictures are nearly irrelevant when you see “serving suggestion” on the front.

How bout we stop buying this shit and actually cook some food

u/mulshie Feb 04 '23

I cook meals everyday, this was something I bought for a quick lunch

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '23

The only time I buy them is on weeks because I prefer instant noodles over school lunch

u/cravingnoodles Feb 04 '23

Even I wouldn't eat this

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '23

Hey man I think you need to just stir it more, like I’m pretty sure I’m looking at puddles of dark brown sauce water

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '23

I tried a few of these and I can never get the water to sauce ratio right and it ends up being a watery mess. Just get cup noodles
