Today's mini-review covers an Indomie flavour which is slightly baffling. There are only three "sachets", for one thing. The chili powder is expected, the "bumbu sauce" powder packet is usual for Indomie products, but the seasoning oil... was chartreuse. Seriously. The package itself is lime green with a yellow banner, and the seasoning oil splits the difference, which is slightly unsettling.
This is a broth style, as opposed to most of Indomie's other noodles which are a dry style. When I added the seasonings to the cooked noodles, the scent that rose up from the bowl was distinctly fruity. I thought of breakfast cereal, specifically Trix. You know, the obscenely brightly-coloured cereal with the rabbit on the box? It turns out that "Soto Mie Flavor" means "chicken and lime soup" or something to that effect.
It's actually quite tasty.

Instant noodles are a near-universal food. They range from absurdly inexpensive to sophisticated. They are shelf-stable, generally simple to prepare, and filling. They are the staple food of income-challenged students, both as quick eats on their own and a base upon which nutritious meals can be built. There are myriad varieties of ramen. This is one strange woman's documented journey into the realm.
