Zihaiguo Sichuan Red Oil Noodle Skin - Spicy Chili Oil Wide Noodles, Non-Fried Spicy Instant Noodles with Sesame and Peanut Sauce, ,Chewy Flat Noodles with Full Flavor Seasoning Packs, 127g per Cup (Pack of 9)

After having read several negative reviews, I would like to point out that this product IS NOT RAMEN. While Ramen instant noodles are heated with water for 4-5 minutes depending upon the brand, this product needs to be heated for 5-6 minutes. After having tried two packages, I would recommend cooking them in the microwave for 6 minutes on high heat.The noodles then need to rest. I kept the lid on the container and rested them for 15 minutes. This was in part for my own safety because these are wide noodles that will retain a lot of heat. If you try to slurp them down after having cooked them, you are liable to burn your lips and tongue.Allowing them to rest with the lid on will help with further help with cooking them.Anyone who has complained about these noodles being slimy, either didn't cook them long enough and/or give them time to rest.The noodles ARE slightly chewy. They're supposed to be because the rice noodles that were used to make this product either came from short or medium grained rice which makes the product slightly glutionous. That's glutionous as in sticky and shouldn not be confused with wheat gluten.The texture is different from Ramen because Ramen noodles are made from wheat. As previously mentioned, this product is made with rice noodles.One of the directions I did not agree with was to drain the water after the noodles were cooked. I cooked mine with broth and did not want to drain the liquid because it was quite flavorful with all of the spice packets and condiments that were added in.

When I read the warning regarding these meals having adverse chemicals such as lead and cadmium, I threw them out. If I would have known beforehand, I wouldn’t have ordered them.

Not a huge fan of the flavor.

This is pretty good! It’s spicy and has a numbing kick ( I think that’s the Szechuan peppercorn taste). You prep it like other instant noodles, drain the water out, mix in the sauce packages, and it’s a quick meal! I added some veggies and that made it even better.

It was sticky and mushy with a rather bizarre taste. Adding more standard soy sauce made it more pailible and chicken.Although if someone would be upon the adventurous side and like their spice this could be a welcoming experience. The spice sauces that came with it would make it spicy enough if not more alongside the peanut sauce package that came with it. It would be a change from the say standard dish and would be upon the curry and herbal taste and variety. Adding typical soy sauce and chicken also made it more of a favorable and filling dish, overall.

It tastes good and very easy to make. You just pour boiling water into it and wait for five minutes then mix rest of the ingredients together. Much better then I expected..You will enjoy it.

Noodles are rubbery and the taste just isn't there. Son hates it.

Smells really good. Taste amazing! Unbelievable Sichuan taste. You should try this.
