I don't know about you but there are certain foods I have craved since being diagnosed Coeliac. For me, it's a pot noodle. (Oh, and croissants).
I don't know why, because I never really ate them when I actually could but ever since diagnosis I've wanted one. I'm always mega jealous whenever one of my colleagues at work brings one in for lunch. We always want what we can't have, right?
Right.
Right.
As far as I know there aren't many gluten-free pot noodles on the market. In fact I know of only one, Kabuto Noodles. But have I ever been able to find any up until now? No way!
Well my luck was in yesterday when I did our weekly food shop, I found these Kabuto Noodles in Sainsburys for just £1.50 each. They are normally £2 which I think is a bit steep perhaps. I'm not going to grumble at £1.50 though.
What can I say? I loved them! They made a great lunch option to eat at my desk at work, warm & hearty, with plenty of Japanese flavours like ginger & spring onions coming through. I think it would be nice to eventually see a couple more flavours - at the moment the gluten-free flavours are chicken or miso (there are a variety of none gluten-free ones). But it's still a big step forward in to the world of gluten-free convenience noodles for which I applaud Kabuto Noodles.
So simple and yet so tasty! For a fraction of the cost you would pay if you were to buy something similar in a noodle bar you are getting a delicious noodle dish in the convenience of a pot noodle-style tub, you simply just add boiling water, wait 2-3 minutes and what you get is a very authentic tasting (and smelling) Asian noodle dish, just like what you may be served in a restaurant or noodle bar.
I am definitely keeping a few of these pots in my desk drawer at work, they're just so convenient and perfect for a quick lunch at my desk. They taste amazing and healthy too - a real winter warmer that just makes you feel good. Thanks Kabuto!
