Lucky Me! N-Rich with Malunggay (Chicken and Ginger Flavor)

Country of origin: Philippines
Bought at Super Oriental Market

Time for some delicious sounding Filipino noodles with Malunggay! It's chicken and ginger flavor, which just sounds really good to me right now. N-Rich refers to the Malunggay that is in the mix here which for those not in the know (including me until just now) is a plant that grows pods on it that resemble green beans and taste somewhat like asparagus. According to Wikipedia the leaves are widely eaten in the Philippines, and check this out: weight for weight the leaves have the same amount of calcium as four glasses of milk, the vitamin C of SEVEN oranges, the potassium of three bananas, three times the iron of spinach, four times the vitamin A of a carrot, and twice the protein of a comparable amount of milk. Holy crap! That's some kind of superfood. Looking at the ingredients the second ingredient in the spice pack is cane sugar so I'm expecting a somewhat sweet taste. Should go good with the ginger.


It's a 55g noodle block like all the other Lucky Me noodles and a seasoning pack. Seasoning has kind of a sweet and roasted chicken smell which is very pleasant. Let's cook it up!


This stuff is really, really good! All the flavors come together for a chicken and ginger flavor that tastes like Chinese food. You need to get out of here and find some of these. I only wish there were more noodles! A resounding 10/10.

Oh and by the way...
Astro Boy ripoff says it's so easy!! If only everything were this easy...
