We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
Mr Lee’s Noodles are an updated version of instant noodles we all ate at some point in college. What sets this brand apart is that the soup mixtures are full of freeze dried, not dehydrated, ingredients. There are four soup varieties, each packaged in a large cup. The brand recommends shaking the dry ingredients, adding boiling water to the fill line, stirring, and waiting 3 minutes before eating. In each soup, the rice noodles were long and chewy, not mushy, and the vegetables, chicken and beef ingredients were fresh tasting and rehydrated with color.
Mr Lee’s Noodles come in 4 flavors.
