Nissin Quick & Easy Chow Mein - Beef Teriyaki Flavored

Nissin Quick & Easy Chow Mein - Beef Teriyaki Flavored, microwaveable. The flavor is reminiscent of smoked BBQ sauce mixed with a little sweet & spicy Chinese hoisin sauce, though not as sweet.

It’s quite tasty, almost like stir-fried lo mein in a thick dark brown sauce. The tender green onion pieces were quite noticeable and the rare tiny morsels of Shiitake mushroom were delicious. Overall, it has a decent note of beef and vegetable flavors.

Nissin Quick & Easy Chow Mein - Chcken Flavored

Nissin Quick & Easy Chow Mein - Chcken Flavored, microwaveable.

Chicken Chow Mein entree has a sweet dark soy type sauce. Using the modified cooking direction, it tasted quite good. The dried cabbage expanded quite a bit to give more substance to the noodles.

The plastic serving tray is microwaveable but the cover is not, however I find that it tasted much better if you covered it while cooking. I put the cover upside down so that the steam can escape. As prepared, the noodles came out the way I liked it, steaming moist and hot.

Nissin Quick & Easy Chow Mein - (Garlic) Shrimp Flavored

Nissin Quick & Easy Chow Mein - (Garlic) Shrimp Flavored, microwaveable.

Chow mein is a generic term for a chinese style dish of stir-fried noodles, of which there are many varieties. The garlic shrimp flavor is one of my favorite, it tasted like Italian garlic shrimp linguine.

The plastic serving tray is microwaveable but the cover is not, however I find that it tasted much better if you covered it while cooking. I put the cover upside down so that the steam can escape. As prepared, the noodles came out the way I liked it, steaming hot and al dente. It looks very appealing with a few tiny pink shrimps, red bell pepper and dark green parsley. The taste and aroma was almost irresistible to me, a very satisfying bargain of a meal.
