(6 pack) Star Anise Foods Instant Vietnamese Pho Bowl, Brown Rice Noodles, Gluten Free, No MSG, 1.9 oz

Like most instant noodle cups, if you add enough water to reach the fill line, the broth isn't strong enough. I add 1 tsp of beef, chicken, or vegetable bouillon granules, fill the cup to a quarter of an inch below the line, let it sit for five minutes, and it's perfect. It has a rich peanutty, coconutty, slightly curryish flavor, and it's a little bit spicy-hot. The noodles aren't memorable, but at least they're healthier than instant ramen noodles (which are delicious but deep fried!).

I have had both Creamy Coconut and Savory Peanut instant soup bowls and love them! The first time I used the paste, I was thrown off as I didn't mix it well enough, but now I know the secret and these are THE perfect vegan, gluten free, healthy quick meals for a mommy on the go. I love how tasty the bowls are, I always fill hot water (sometimes broth) a little less than the line they provide so I can really enjoy the flavors. I can whip these up during conf calls (and mute the call during my disruptive slurps) or for a quick fix before I pick up the kids from school. And when I need something a little heartier, I add some tofu and veggies. The ingredients are so clean and it's simply the tastiest and most convenient meal I can turn around in under 5 minutes. LOVE THESE!
