WangKorean BBQ Bulgogi Flavored Udon Noodle Bowl - No MSG Added, No Preservatives - 290 Calories Per Meal - Convenient and Instant Meal, Ready in 3 Minutes - Microwaveable Bowl (Pack of 6)

This is not a dehydrated noodle/ramen bowl. Each bowl has a vaccum packed thick udon noodle pack, a broth packet, a dehydrated veggie pack, and a sesame oil pack. For the best tasting bowl you should first fill a bowl with hot water and place the "sealed" noodle pack under the hot water for a few minutes to help warm the noodles up a bit so they separate during the cooking process better to ensure each noodle is fully exposed on all sides to the broth. That pre-warming step is not neccessary and you still get a great bowl if you skip it, but I recommend it if you can spare the extra 2-3 min.After the pre-warm or if you skipped it, open the noodle packet and place them in the bowl they came in, then open the broth packet and add it to the noodles, followed by filling the bowl to the scored fill line located inside the bowl (I use hot from the tap but where I live the water from tap is clean and tastes good, I have never tried cold water but I know hot water does not overcook the noodles) . The noodles should be fully submersed or very close to it if you filled it properly. You don't want to add to much water or the broth will be too weak in my opinion, since these are not spicy you want the right broth flavor and not a weaker broth.Place the bowl in the microwave for the proper cook time, I think it's 3 min for my 1200W. If you put the lid back on do not press it closed or steam will build up pressure, just set it lightly on top so steam can escape or leave it off. After it's cooked move the bowl to a holding plate if it's too hot for you to hold/move it safely. Remove the lid if you have it on and add the veggie packet and sesame oil packet (don't skip the sesame oil, it is delicious and adds that light sesame nutty flavor that any bulgogi lover will expect to taste. Stir up your noodles making sure they are separated, this will also mix the veggie/scallions which will hydrate almost instantly.After your meal is cool enough to eat, the final step is to enjoy!!There is "NO" meat in this bowl, I'm stating this because it shows meat on the picture. I don't believe it is to mislead, just simply showing some "bulgogi". It tastes fantastic and the noodles are thick so chewing them is great and gives a nice burst of flavor from the broth they soak up.If you want a lil extra in your meal you could add your own precooked bulgogi or some precooked wonton or any asian meat dumplings you enjoy while your letting it cool still so they warm up in the hot broth. The bowl is filling on its own if your not a large meal eater and deffinately fills me up far more than a standard ramen bowl does. If your familiar with bulgogi flavor then you can expect that lightly sweet taste with a perfect amount of sesame and onion flavor.Finally I will admit that the cost through Amazon was a bit high compared to what some other reviews paid but I wasn't bothered by this. Your local Asian market & especially the larger Asian markets should have these much cheaper. If your just having a craving and don't plan to eat them often, don't have an Asian market near you, or don't care about the cost then you will not feel disappointed, I wasn't. It's as close to getting a fresh bowl of Udon from a restaraunt in a microwave bowl at home that you can get.Hope this review helped anyone wondering and thanks for taking the time to read my review! Have a blessed and amazing day!

Easy to make and so yummy - I get this item on Subscribe and Save for my son; he is a "ramen connoisseur" and this one is his favorite. The portion is a generous size (a meal for me, a half meal for my teenager), and always so tasty with a delicious scent! Sometimes we drop a boiled egg in to make it a substantial meal if he needs to eat and run. Always delicious!

For instant noodles, it’s not too bad. Real udon texture. Comes with seasoning sauce that gives the noodles flavor. Can be prepared in the microwave without hot water. Good value. Smells and tastes decent. I wish it had some sort of meat but it’s still filling enough to get me by in a bind.

Best instant udon bowls. I recommend 3 min if the water you add is cold. Stir the noodles up after cooking to separate then let them sit a few minutes to really get the broth flavor. Perfect for a midnight craving!

The flavor was good and easy to make, but to rich for me and my mom. I mean we were up all night with stomach issues and I tried to make myself throw up what wasn't digesting. I didn't even drink broth, just ate noodles. I don't know what happened. Not knocking it, but not finishing rest of pack. To compare broths I can drink snapdragon pho- not crazy rich, but because of lots of flavoring i didn't want to drink this broth- glad I didn't. To sum up to rich for a snapdragon eater.

This is by far my favorite noodle cup bowl! Yes, it's a bit pricey but I think it's worth it, especially considering that it only takes 3 minutes in the microwave. If I want cheap, I buy the instant noodle cups from Maruchan. If I want quality, I get this brand.I don't bother heating the noodles before hand and I still really like this.

First, don't be put off by the price per bowl. Unlike many other "blocks of noodles," this bowl contains 1/2# of dry product in a nice-sized bowl. Add the water, and you're near a pound of food. I had some kimchee on hand and some green onions which I chopped up, and together I had an amazing meal. Also added a spoon of Korean red pepper which kicked the flavor up a bit. Low calorie and no MSG. What more do you want. I did add some soy sauce along with the kimchee and onions. Flavor is nice, although a tad on the sweet side. Definitely will order this item again. And, as an unexpected bonus, 6 sets of chop sticks are included!! Wow!

Amazing flavor and texture, broth and seasoning packets are delicious, noodles are actual Udon noodles and have great texture.Have bought this multiple times and will continue do so as one of the best instant noodles kits I have ever had
