Question Got these noodles that are also sold in different flavors and there’s no seasoning packets? Anyone tried these before?

You could buy the same thing in tomato egg or pork rib, but they don’t have seasoning packets? So what does the flavor matter? I’m so confused. I can’t find any info online.

I haven’t seen these, but if there’s no seasoning packet, but they are legitimately sold with different flavours (rather than say, different sized noodles recommend for use in different applications) then maybe the flavour is somehow infused directly into the noodle?

It won’t let me edit the post caption, but the noodles didn’t have any flavor, I boiled some and it just tasted like noodles.

Here’s an Imgur link showing a different flavor of noodles, and the back of my bag. https://imgur.com/a/PUmubSA.

Ok, based on that, I’m gonna say they’re probably telling you what they’re recommending you make it with. Like on cereal packages where it has « suggested serving » or pics with fruit bits on the cornflakes. Those things aren’t already in there; they’re what they think you might like to add. Like when a pasta pack says spaghetti or lasagna and it’s really referring to the noodle shape - but in our heads we also associate it with the dish it represents?

I would not bet on that, there is artificial beef flavour in the ingredients.

I've had something similar where the flavoring was in the noodles. You boil those and they're flavored.

I boiled them and they didn’t taste like anything other than plain noodle, not even a hint of something else. I feel like I’m missing something, but idk what’s going on with it.

Edit: also the back says to mix in sauce? Here’s the Imgur link, but the back is poorly translated. https://imgur.com/a/PUmubSA

Sounds like a possible packaging error? Like, you got a batch with the sauce packets missing? If I could, I would return those to where I bought them and see about a replacement/refund.

Oh weird I'm not sure then. Have you bought any other flavors and did they have anything included?

We have a new Asian mart that just opened by our house and saw these, thought it would be a good deal cause this pack was like $3 or something and we are trying to save money lol. I’ll look next time I go and see if the other flavors have any packets tho
