It\u2019s been quite a while since I wrote about anything food related, and I recently did a weird batch of food shopping, so I figured I\u2019d share it with you! If you follow me on social media, you probably know that I\u2019m into skincare and makeup, and have a particular affection for Asian brands. I do most of my Korean and Japanese brand shopping on a website called YesStyle<\/a>. I know you can get better prices on eBay or Amazon, but I trust YesStyle<\/a> and I\u2019m willing to pay extra for the professionalism they provide.<\/p>\n

I recently needed to restock my Japanese cleansing oil and favorite Korean sunscreens (are any of you interested in hearing about that kind of thing?) and while on the YesStyle<\/a> website I noticed they had food. I couldn\u2019t resist and clicked the tab. I found what I was expecting to see, which is shelf stable items. Lots of powdered instant beverages, some snacks, and lots of instant ramen packs. I know people that order ramen soups online because they can get super spicy flavors, but sadly, my stomach doesn\u2019t handle the spice life like it used to. I did see some flavors that I don\u2019t find in my local grocery store, and since these days finding soup on the grocery shelves is pretty hard, I splurged and ordered a few.<\/p>\n

This is Demae Iccho Classic Series Sesame Oil Flavour from the brand Nissin.<\/p>\n

$\"$ <\/p>\n

Preparation was slightly different from what I was used to. Like any instant ramen, you boil a couple of cups of water on the stove and let the noodles cook in it for 3 minutes. You take your seasoning pack and put it in the bottom of the bowl you\u2019re serving it in. <\/p>\n

$\"$ <\/p>\n

When the noodles are done, you pour the hot water into the bowl first to dissolve the base seasoning. Then you add the noodles.<\/p>\n

Finally, you pour the sesame seed oil onto it.<\/p>\n

$\"$ <\/p>\n

I ate two spoonful\/forkfuls, and immediately emailed my husband at work to proclaim this was the best tasting instant ramen I had ever had. For reals. The ingredients are not too unexpected for an item like this:<\/p>\n

Noodles :Wheat Flour, Palm Oil, Salt, Acidity Regulator (452, 501, 451, 500, 339, 450), Thickener (1400, 401, 412), Antioxidant (307b, 304), Green Tea Powder. Soup Base: Salt, Flavour Enhancer (621, 627, 631), Soya Sauce Powder (Soya Beans, Wheat, Salt), White Sugar, Colour (150a), Yeast Extracts, Hydrolysed Soya Protein, Garlic Powder, Spices, Dehydrated Green Onion, Flavour and Flavouring (Chicken, Pork), Acidity Regulator (330), Rice Oil. Seasoning Oil: Sesame Oil (0.8%), Rice Oil, Flavour and Flavouring, Colour (160b, 160c).<\/p>\n

Highly processed. Very salty. Certainly not the healthiest food choice out there. However, for a delicious quick lunch? I\u2019m sold! I\u2019m glad that I bought a couple other flavors from the brand to try! So, if you\u2019re looking for a change of pace, why not?<\/p>\n
