They are prepared by being placed in a saucepan of boiling water, adding the sachet of flavoring, and stirring. Super Noodles can also be cooked and prepared using a microwave oven.
Thank for these bacon instant noodles. Pair 'em with eggs and toast and t's actually pretty great stuff. But, you should know, the rest of the day your burps will taste like bacon. This one was sent to me by a Ramen Rater fan in England who also included about two dozen other fascinating packs with flavors such as Curry, Sweet & Sour, and Southern Fried Chicken.

Koka is a brand of instant noodles, manufactured by Tat Hui Foods Pte. Ltd. - a company founded in Singapore in 1986. The noodles are available in a variety of flavors, as packets or cup noodles. They are sold within Singapore, and since 1987, have been exported to markets across Asia, the Middle East, the United States, Europe, Africa, and Oceania.

Now, don’t let the color burst your ramen bubble. According to its makers, the noodles will apparently give you the equivalent of 84 blueberries’ worth of antioxidants in every 100 grams. It’s also healthier as it’s been baked and not fried. And oh, you can find these weird noodles right here in Singapore!

Tomato Yogurt Ramen. Usually, we associate yogurt with anything sweet, but it's ramen, right? So it must be savory? The curry powder, tomato sauce, and yogurt combine to make a thick and creamy broth. Grilled chicken makes the meal more filling, while the cilantro adds freshness.
Tomato Yogurt Ramen contains 10 billion lactic acid bacteria in noodles and 10 billion of them in soup, 20 billion lactic acid bacteria in total. The tomato taste matches very well with the yogurt taste. Contains lactic acid bacteria that makes the taste of the noodles more delicious. Made by adding tomato into the chicken and pork broth as well as yogurt powder, it has a creamy texture.
4. Rocket Brand Satoimo Noodles
Purple noodles eh? Weird. Couldn't pass them up, and actually, they were quite good. Makes for a colorful dinner plate. Purchased these at the Seattle Uwajimaya Asian supermarket.
In Japan, it is called satoimo (サトイモ, satoimo?), (kanji: 里芋) “village potato”. The “child” and “grandchild” corms which bud from the parent satoimo, are called imonoko (芋の子, imonoko?). Satoimo has been propagated in Southeast Asia since the late Jōmon period. It was a regional staple food before rice became predominant. The tuber, satoimo, is often prepared through simmering, but occasionally grated and eaten raw or steamed. The stalk, zuiki, can also be prepared a number of ways, depending on its variety.
5. Nissin Ajillo Instant Noodle

It looks as though ajillo is a Mexican/Spanish dish that features shrimp, vegetables, and sliced garlic.
The taste buds of Spaniards and Japanese get married in this cup. Garlic flavored olive oil is combined with toppings of cabbage, shrimp, and egg. If you love spice and you love garlic, chances are you’ll bow down to this amazing cup noodle.

There's something strange and wonderful about this dual-chambered mayonnaise and mustard packet. It's from Japan, of course, the land of packaging gods.
