I've done this with chicken flavoured instant noodles. They seem to taste better "raw".
There's also a kids snack that was (might still be) Mamee noodles when I was a kid. They're supposed to be a snack that was designed, I believe, to be eaten raw with the flavouring to be shaken in. At least that's what we used to do.
(This is in Australia)
Maggi chicken noodles.
- Gently crush packet keeping "lumps" of about 1/8th to 1/16th noodle cake size, depending on preference.
- Tear open top and remove flavour sachet. Tear open flavour sachet and pinch about 1cm in from the corner. This is vital and many casual dry instant noodle eaters are not aware of it. If you miss this step you will end up with too much chicken-ish-flavoured-salt at the end.
- Sprinkle flavour powder over noodles and twist packet top closed.
- Shake vigorously for at least 20 seconds.
- Enjoy.
This is the true way to enjoy dry instant noodles. Everyone else is wrong.
I've done something very similar, it's great!
I've also had them without the flavouring plenty of times. Then, I've used the extra flavour pack for extra flavour when cooking them.
