Noodle 8: Round 2

 For the first post about this noodle, click  here . I adapted  this recipe . Let me just get this out of the way: this was bad. It was so bad that I rinsed off the noodles and ate them with soba broth instead. It was inedible. That being said, I would possibly try this again with alterations. I think the issue was the lime and cayenne did not work well with the other flavors. If I were to do this again, I would eliminate the cayenne altogether and add hot sauce after tasting. More likely I will go searching for another miso recipe. I made significant adaptations on the original recipe.

Noodle 7: Mizuho Stir Fry Noodles

Type: fresh Size: 35.2 oz. Price: $5.48 sale (regular price: $5.99) Price per oz.: $0.16 (regular price: $0.17) Sauce: 1 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup rice wine 1/4 cup (approx) brown sugar Vegetables: 4 heads baby bok choy 1 can baby corn 1 head broccoli This was unfortunately a miss. I used my go-to sauce proportions, but these noodles were just not very good. The instructions said to put them in boiling water for 5 minutes. Even with stirring, the bunches of noodles totally clumped together. When I added them to the vegetables and sauce, the sauce couldn't even get to some of the noodles. They are very starchy and heavy. The leftovers are almost inedible. Sadly these were also the first noodles I fed to house guests. This brand had many noodles to choose from. I'm willing to give them another chance with a different type of noodle. But I will definitely not be repurchasing these. At least they look really good in pictures.
