Trader Joe's Miso Instant Ramen Soup, 43g

What truly sets TJ's Miso Ramen Soup apart from other instant ramens, aside from its impeccably crafted blend of seasonings, is the inclusion of a packet of sunflower oil. By adding both the packet of seasonings and the packet of oil to your cup of dry noodles before preparation, you ensure not only a delightfully savoury broth, rich with flavours of miso, garlic, notes of umami and seaweed, but a silky-smooth texture for your noodles—the days of dry-textured instant noodles are over. From there, it’s simply a matter of either adding boiling water up to the cup’s fill line (or adding room temperature water up to the fill line and microwaving the entire cup for one minute, 30 seconds), stirring, and letting it sit for about six minutes before serving.

Whether served straight out of the cup for a quick lunch, or transferred to a bowl with a few more traditional fixings (we recommend adding a few slices Sriracha Flavored Baked Tofu and a few sprinkles of Nori Komi Furikake Seasoning Blend, TJ's Miso Instant Ramen Soup will deliver a ramen house experience at a student-housing price.
