When I was looking for fast cooking noodles other than grocery store ramen, I saw WhatIF Foods® "Instant Noodles." The healthy ingredients and unique flavors intrigued me. WhatIF Foods® variety pack was a great way for me to try the noodles. As it turns out, I love all the varieties! These noodles are delicious and a giant step above grocery store ramen.Cooking and Preparing the Noodles. The noodles come in a round disc. Per the instructions for microwaving, I put one disc in water, cooked it for a short time, flipped the disc (which was coming apart), and finished cooking it. I like my noodles somewhat al dente, so I reduced the instructions' cooking time by about 45 seconds. I reserved a large tablespoon or two of the cooking liquid. I then drained the noodles in a smooth plastic, small-holed strainer. Next, I put the drained noodles in the bowl with the reserved cooking liquid, added the spice and oil packets included with the noodles, and then stirred/tossed the noodles. I sometimes steam some vegetables to add to the noodles; I add the veggies last and toss the noodles one more time. When all is said and done, I have a delicious meal!Some Random Notes. Regarding the strainer, I did not use my wire strainer because I did not want the noodles to get caught up in the wire. My strainer for washing rice worked perfectly. Regarding the spice and oil packets, each noodle variety comes with its own, unique flavor packets. I amp up the spice packet by adding more spice (e.g., black pepper, chile flakes/powder, garlic if I think it goes with the spices in the spice packet). The oil packets have only a little oil; adding the oil did NOT make the noodles oily; instead the bit of oil helped pull the flavors together.Serving Size. A single disc of these noodles makes a reasonable to sort of small meal. If someone usually eats larger sized meals, a single disc may not be enough food. Adding vegetables, for example, will make the noodles more filling. The noodles could also be served as a side dish, but I like them so much I want the noodles to be my main course.Value. Because I love the noodle varieties and the quality of the ingredients, I will continue to buy WhatIF Foods® noodles. They are kind of expensive, however, especially in light of the somewhat small serving size and the fact everyday grocery store ramen is less expensive and usually makes larger servings.
