MAMA Instant Noodles Artificial Pork Flavor,30 Pkgs.x 2.12 Oz.(60g)

Ramen is a... Likely unhealthy portion of my diet, however I do make it into proper dishes to help some. So far, I've liked Mama noodles the best for flavor and for the texture of the noodles. I usually keep the spice packet out of my noddles, but I'll use these as a base dish for making something really good. With the pork one, I at least get myself some spam, eggs and some mixed frozen veggies from the store. To make a good bowl of ramen soup, fry up an egg normally how you like eggs say for breakfast (I adore a soft sunny side up), then fry up a few slices of spam with some soy and honey for a mock teriyaki, or if you have a favorite teriaki recipe or sauce go on with yourself. Toss a handful of the veggies into the broth as you cook up the noodles, top up with the spam and egg and you've got yourself a good bowl of ramen. Or, alternatively, cube up some spam, blend one or two eggs up with chopsticks or a fork, cook the ramen with a handful of the veggies and some butter or your preffered oil and keep cooking down till it's somewhat dry but still really moist, push to a side of the pan, and fry up the spam, mix it into the noodles, then cook the egg till it's about half done and mix in too. Ramen omlette is basically the stirfry only with at least two eggs. I usually use three. Fry up the cubed spam first, toss it and the veggies in with the noodles as you make 'em. As the noodles cook and cook down, mix and beat the eggs, the more you beat the better. Some people like to add the seasoning to the eggs for this, I like to keep the seasoning with the noodles and toss a bit of either total seasoning or seasoned salt in the eggs along with a splash of water or milk. The more you beat the fluffiier the end product will be (good thing). Once the noodles are mostly dry, add some butter or oil to the pan with the noddles, mix so everything gets coated, then toss in the egg and cook long enough to mostly set, then flip and you'll have a ramen omlette/pancake/monstrosity that tastes better than it looks, especially with a little siracha or ketsup. Including the cost of mostly generic brands of a big tub of margarin/butter, total seasoning, siracha, teriyaki/soy sauce, the eggs, spam and veggies, for making up a half decent struggle meal with mama noodles is about 35 to help out all 30 of the packs you're buying with this bulk pack, with mama noodles being 25 aprox at the time of this writing, you're looking at about 2 bucks a meal give or take a lil with your local taxes. There's more you could add/do, but with Ramen this is usually the bottom line for most yeah? There's lots of things you can do to elevate further(toasted nori, turn the eggs into onsen/ramen eggs, use actual pork, etc etc etc), but this is just a tiny review, not a blog. Go do your own research! lol

The spicy pork MAMA ramen noodles taste great! Easy to cook - simply boil water then pour onto the noodles. Has a silky noodle texture that's superior to other ramen noodles I've tried. The broth has a somewhat Italian pork sausage flavor to it which is wonderful. I'm glad the chili pepper was included as an optional packet since I don't like it. Very good quality. Noodle packs aren't as large as most others but it's still filling.

Delicious

Most of us (students) have been there, spending most of our paycheck on the essentials: rent, utilities, credit card balances. And when all is paid and done we have little spending money for food, and we survive on noodles. You may be used to Maruchan Ramen Noodles , as that is what is stocked in most stores and supermarkets, but listen up, (Thai) MAMA brand noodles are *significantly* better than any other of those cheap noodles. Growing up in an exotic childhood, my mom used to serve this to us as kids. Somehow I forgot about this brand when I was in college. In college I only ate the Maruchan ones because they are cheap. Never again. When I found out Amazon stocked these I ordered them right away. Beef is one of their best flavors, with duck, and the clear pho noodles coming in next. If you do a side by side comparison with Maruchan you will notice a big difference in taste. The MAMA noodles will have more flavor, with slightly sturdier noodles that doesn't get mushy as easily. — HOW TO COOK (My method) — • Pour two-ish cups of water into a soup pot. • Place the dry noodles in the water and set it to high heat. • Wait for the water to boil, and check the doneness of your preference with a fork (I like mine slightly al dente like spaghetti, cooked but not mushy). • Turn off heat. • In a bowl pour out all the flavor packets into it with the exception of the spice pack; only add what spice level you can handle. • Pour noodles and some water into bowl and mix. Don't add too much water as that will dilute the flavor. You want just enough water to cover the noodles, and be able to drink some after. — ANOTHER WAY TO EAT — You can also eat these dry. You can do this by: • *Carefully* open up the package. • Take out the flavor packs. • Close the bag by folding the opening in on itself. • Break the dry noodles with your hand into smaller pieces (not too small; you don't want tiny crumbs). • Open the bag and pour the flavoring powder back in the bag (and the spice powder if you wish). • Fold the bag closed again and shake the powder around. • Open up bag and eat them like flavored chips, yums. Yes, I eat and enjoy boxed ramen; I like it in moderation—once a week is okay. These are brilliant noodles that you can buy on Amazon or at a specialty Asian store. Give it a try and you might enjoy these as well. Recommended.

I order a lot of instant ramen off of Amazon. I've tried the Maruchan Creamy Chicken (pretty good), Shin Red and Black (great, but too spicy for me, my husband loved them), MAMA Tom Yum Shrimp (good, but I'm not a fake-shrimp fan) Indomie Mi Goreng (great), Indomie Mi Goreng Barbecue Chicken (so great, I ate way too much of it and needed to stop.) This MAMA Spicy Pork might be my favorite. It's the most convenient to make, has really nice noodles, and is the closest to a noodle soup I'd order. In fact, if I got this as an appetizer in a restaurant I wouldn't even be mad. It's not just salt and MSG, there are notes of five spice, onion, and umami soy-pork flavors that round out the soup and make it taste "real." The package is on the smaller side (240 cals, so a snack-size.) I don't mind this because if I want a bigger meal, it's easy to double. You're not supposed to boil these noodles in a pot, instead, you boil the water, pour it over the noodles and seasonings in the bowl, and cover for 3 minutes. I love this. Since you're just boiling plain water, there's no pan to clean! You can use those 3 minutes to gather your toppings, or just appreciate the moment, breathe in and out, be grateful for your health and your life. The packets are easy to open without scissors (there are three: main seasoning, seasoning oil, and chili powder.) I like that the chili powder is separate, so you can control how spicy you want your ramen. For reference, I can eat Shin, but it's a bit too spicy for me to enjoy. With MAMA Spicy Pork, half the chili packet gives a nice mild spice. The entire thing makes it spicy, but not as spicy as Shin. I'll definitely be re-ordering these, probably in a 30-pack. They're awesome.

Great

These were good just a little over salty

I’ve been eating these noodles from a local asian market since I was a kid — for 20 years. These are the same quality. Fair price.

I make my soups, using this product as a base. Great flavour and so quick and easy/

Everybody knows that ramen are not necessarily the healthiest option, but they are tasty and inexpensive. I am no ramen expert but I love this brand. I also love the pork flavor. I mean, is there any other ramen brand that offers a pork flavor? I just like to enjoy these noodles now and then. Also, the box it comes in is kind of cool with Thai inscriptions on it. This is a thumbs up.

This brand is really good but can be hard to find, the price on Amazon is too high to justify buying again. They tasted good though.

My husband loves this soup I we can't find them in store so we bought then on Amazon

These are unique flavor NOT the same as Mr noodles etc . better quality noodle and flavor
