A few weeks ago on one of the social media sites a chap posted a picture of these noodles and claimed them extremely spicy.
I suggested it was possibly white person spicy, which seemed to offend them. Though we finished the conversation on a friendly note.
I was delighted to find the exact noodle in one of our local Asian supermarkets (Plymouth now has two or three good ones in the city centre) so I purchased a pack.
Today I made them for lunch, added an egg, some ham, red onion, spring onion, and rocket. Delicious.
So how spicy are these noodles?
They are white person spicy. Sure, they are the spiciest noodle I've ever had from a pack, but then, that isn't a high bar to cross. They had a great tingle on the tastebuds and if you aren't a fan of spicy things then probably not for you.
If you like spicy things, these will not be any issue. Indeed, when I next do them I'll probably add in some fresh chopped red chili to up the kick.
