Today’s instant noodle is “Aka kara noodle”, Red Spicy Ramen. It’s one of the well-known foods in Nagoya. The picture of the package looks really tasty. “Aka kara” means the name of the restaurant in Nagoya. The miso from Nagoya and red pepper are blended. The magic soup is famous as ‘Aka kara pot’. This ramen product is reproduced well from the actual ramen in the restaurant.

The product contains noodles and liquid soup. The plastic container prevents the noodles from breaking apart. I start cooking immediately. First of all, put 450 ml water in a pot and boil it. Put noodles in it and boil for 3 minutes as stirring the noodles. I like the noodles being a little bit hard, so I boil it for 2 minutes instead of 3. Remove it from heat and add the liquid soup to it, and then stir them well. As soon as the liquid soup is in it, the good smell blows in the room. I wanna eat it now! Put it in a bowl and add some toppings. Complete!

The toppings are roasted pork filler, egg, and leek as always. The taste is not too sweet, not too spicy. It is just right for me. If you like spicy food, this might not be spicy enough. The noodle itself is silky and delicious. It’s blended well with the soup. I recommend it to people who want to eat something unordinary. You can enjoy different taste of noodle. I like it.
