Experience
This is attractive alternative ramen in a wildly overpriced package. Delivered double-bagged but otherwise, in an ordinary ramen wrapper, it's based on a low-carb, high-protein noodle whose main ingredients are pumpkin seed protein and wheat gluten, along with a vegetarian "chicken" broth. The texture of the noodles is chewy, even after the long-cooked time of 7 minutes (presumably disqualifying this from the "instant noodle" name), but not offensively so; I found the slight rubber band texture and mildly nutty flavor interesting enough. The broth is quite bland and not very strongly reminiscent of anything apart from nutritional yeast, which it contains a lot of; it's mildly garlicky and not very "chicken"-like at all, and I found I much preferred it juiced up with a lot of additional hot sauce, vinegar, etc. rather than in its original bland form. It's not bad, just dull, but if I were reordering (which I wouldn't do at this high price!) I'd consider other, more flavorful flavors instead. The noodles aren't bad, just somewhat different from the usual instant-cooking, ridiculously high-carb, slick, and slurpy ones, but they're not worth the current high price. If they were price-competitive with traditional ramen, I'd consider them for better nutrition and variety of texture, but there's no way I'd go for it at 4-6 times their price.
