This is strongly flavoured, but not attractive. It's rather too strongly flavoured, so we put in more water to make it palatable. The taste is soy sauce and onion with some heat, which is a rather uninteresting, though some interest and variation is supplied by the basil.
Not a noods we enjoyed.

I'm not really a fan of rice noodles - I find them a bit slimy, tough, and bland. But these have worked for me. The sauce is very tasty with a yummy balance between sweet and spicy. I enjoyed them, though I might hesitate to buy them again as I do prefer regular noodles. There is a distinct Asian flavour about this.

Produced for Tesco by Wicked Kitchen. This is a modern pot noodle which is more like a vegan meal than either the stodgy British slag noods or the watery yet exotic and spicy Asian noods. There is a mix of both - there is stodge and hot spice. I like it, but it has problems. It is very dry. I put in much more water than recommended, and kept on adding water as I was eating because it soaks up moisture so quickly. It's also quite chilli hot but lacking in flavour so I had to add a lot of salt, and keep adding it until at last the flavours came through. I think the mix of kidney beans, potato and pasta is just too much stodge without variety. I enjoyed this, but I wouldn't rush to buy another.
