Yakisoba UFO Puchi Instant Ramen Noodle

Each pack has 6 Yakisoba Cup Ramen Noodles of 63 grams (net weight)

UFO Instant Japanese Ramen Noodlebowl is a popular Instant Japanese Noodle. This is a YakiSoba Style ramen noodle, which is very similar to Chinese Chow Mein. They are pan fried style Teriyaki noodles, so they taste better with less liquid added..

They really have a flavor that approximates the real yakisoba , fried noodles. Inside the bowl, the vegetable flakes (the flakes are quite large, compared to conventional ones), there are some other flakes, which is what the UFO refers to: If it is pork flavored, the flakes are dried pieces of pork; if it is beef flavored, they would be dried pieces of beef.

UFO therefore refers to the dried meat, Unidentified Flying Objects, or in this case, Unidentified Frying Objects, inside the noodle bowl.

It is quite easy to prepare the noodles:

Just add boiling water to the bowl and keep the cover sealed for 3-5 minutes, or just until the noodles are soft and can be loosened with a pair of chopsticks (remember two put aside the two packets inside the bowl first!).

The longer you steep them in boiling water, the softer the noodles will be. Then peel off the entire lid, add the contents of the sauce packet and the seasoning packet, and stir. The instructions are on the container in Japanese.

The strainer is metal, so don’t microwave the bowl.

The interesting flavor attempts to replicate yakisoba, which are fried noodles.

The ingredients label says the flavoring contains glucose, vegetable oil, salt, spice, pork extract, fruit paste (apple), pork fat, chicken fat, seaweed, ginger, clam extract, soy protein, chicken extract, and yeast extract.

Overall, UFO noodles are very tasty. The dried meat part is totally unique; very uncommon in the instant noodle world. The meat is actually quite chewy after soaking in water.

The sauce is quite sweet and tasty. If you like teriyaki flavor, you will like these UFO noodles. This Yakisoba, not only is it different from every other kind, but it is possibly the best.
