Basically Nanjie is supposed to be the "last/most Maoist city " in China. Theres big ass pics of Marx Engels Stalin Lenin etc etc in the town square. The town doesnt have real money they do their own thing. Idk how to add pics but they basically have this as their city’s pride you can look it up or visit their site http://www.nanjiecun.cn/ (edit site might be broken on some browsers but u can look them up and get information) but all the stuff they make is here: http://www.nanjiecun.cn/njcjt.asp They make instant noodles which is like their most famous thing they make. I got the Beijing style noodles for this post again idk how to put a picture in the post but I did cooked them. They are basically generic crappy cheap instant noodles (basically so cheap they might as well give them away for free seriously.) Anyway these basically taste like generic cheap instant noodles which they are I would review the actual good noodles that they have with the classy fresh pack but I dont have them rn. Also they make wooden crafts and shit that look really nice again check their website

I’ve never seen anyone eat this the normal way (steeping them in hot water to make noodle soup), these are usually eaten dry by opening the bag, taking the spice pack out (most contemporary instant noodles have oil and sauce and freeze dried veggies, these archaic ones just have the salty msg powder), crunching the noodle into pieces, putting the spice over the dry noodle, pinching the bag shut and shaking it to make a salty msgy spicy noodle snack

across the strait they have something called “science noodle” 科学面 which is the same thing just milder and has a merlin wizard dude on the package

Gosh, that sounds terrible. At least with soup it’s a meal, though a poor one. I’ve bought the most expensive dry noodle packs there are in the hopes they’d be worth it, but no. They’re not much better than the cheap ones.

The noodles are significantly better between regular maruchan ramen and the maruchan gold shit…

Well gosh, nobody eats dry noodles. Yuk. Noodles are always served in soup. It’s the correct presentation. It’s why they come in a bowl. Just add boiling water.

yeah i think western brands are all shit, cheap or not. that’s why you can make snacks out of them, same as this one.

in asia, good instant noodles are actually good though and you can make soup with them

Yea in my post i wrote the same. they taste better that way dry with the packet, i just wanted to make it look like the picture on the pack for the post but failed pretty miserably probably due to being inebriated. if i post about treatums again it will be about the actual good ones these guys make that come in a tray (the cold noodle one slaps)

Think of it less like a meal and more like a bag of chips.

Chips don’t need to be rehydrated to be palatable, eating dry noodles is self harm
