In our previous entry in regard to this august topic, we referenced the delights of instant pho noodles.
Since we cannot always get our hands on good pho instant noodles, the ubiquitous Coles Supermarkets are now offering Wai Wai brand's Instant Rice Vermicelli in Crab Flavour.
And it aint half bad -- at 58 cents a packet -- it's as cheap as chips!
The vermicelli is as chewy as you want it to be and very filling. Fat content is your own preference but the salt and sugar component makes for a tangy and very sweet tasting soup base.
This is a 3 cachet noodle soup and for my taste the chilli cachet offers just the right kick. You can of course choose not to add chili cachet or the palm oil and garlic one. I always add my own garlic clove anyway (as well as green veg) and pass on the Palm Oil option.
Of course there is very little crab to be had in the mix. Among the flavorings is E621 -- the very reliable Monosodium glutamate.
