Nissin HK Sesame Flavour Instant Ramen Bowl

Nissin Hong Kong makes this bright red big bowl of instant sesame flavoured ramen that is a classic in their line.  They also have a chicken flavour, a XO seafood sauce flavour, and just recently put out a black garlic oil flavour too. These are larger than the typical cup noodles and make for a good snack or a light meal.  I recently reviewed another sesame flavoured ramen from Ottogi and I can honestly say I was expecting a more intense sesame flavour from it that would be similar to this bowl.

Another view of the bowl.  This is a laminated, paper bowl with a very attracted white and red colour scheme.  The little cartoon ramen seller or delivery boy (some brands have a more complete picture) has been a mascot for a long time.  I like how the Sesame Flavour is in bright red with a yellow border so you can't make a mistake!

The content of the noodle bowl.  You get a foil package of powdered soup base, another package of dried veggies and naruto fish cake, and a satchet of sesame oil.

I added the soup base and the dried ingredients on top of the instant noodle block.  The dried toppings include corn, green onion, carrot, and naruto (the little spirally patterned disks).  You're supposed to add the sesame oil last, but I add it before putting in the hot water.

Added boiling water and closed the lid of the bowl for three minutes to let the heat and water rehydrate the noodles. Once opened, I was greeted the by aromo of the sesame oil and saw all of the wonderful ingredients.

This bowl of instant noodles is always a classic and I like to keep one around the house.  The sesame oil aroma is always really nice and the flavour of the soy and sesame soup is both savoury with a good hit of sesame to it.  The noodles for these bowls are of a slightly thinner gauge than normal, but have a nice chew to them if you don't let them soak too long in the hot water.  There are lots of little bits of topping which is nice, but after you stir the soup to mix it, I always end up fishing for little bits of corn or naruto after awhile.  I've always enjoyed these noodles and they can be found at most Chinese or Asian markets in Canada.
