TVP Curry Chicken
September 22nd, 2005
This entry was relatively expensive as it contain a special retort pouch with wet ingredients. In the foil pouch, there are several chucks of textured vegetable protein (maybe wheat protein but it is not specified), potato, carrot and onion in a coconut curry sauce.
My expections sure were high on this item, but after taking the first sip I knew it was a let down. Perhap I had followed the inadequate direction which made the curry soup too watery. It tasted fine as a mild spicy curry flavored soup, but not the rich spicy hot curry sauce that I was expecting from a country such as Thailand. If you ever had the spicy hot scented coconut curry sauce in a fine Thai resturant you will know what I mean.
The textured vegetable chucks did not tasted like chicken and had a soft chewy texture like frankfurter. The heavy contents of the retort pouch barely get hot in the soup. The curry sauce had little chicken flavor and was barely adequate enough to flavor the noodles, this one could be better if the cooking directions are modified.
As prepared the curry soup sauce was a bit watery, I recommend that after the 3 minutes wait to pour out about half an inch of water before adding the content of the retort pouch. I would also preheat the retort pouch in the boiling water pot and set it aside instead of on top of the lid as per directions.
Suggested Cooking Directions
- Pull back lid just enough to take out both packets.
- Add content of the powder soup packet to noodles.
- Add boiling water up to the inside line - about 1 3/4 cup, close lid, place retort pouch on top and let stand for 3 minutes.
- Remove lid, add content of retort pouch, stir well and serve.
