UFO Japanese Instant YakiSoba Ramen Noodle

UFO Instant Japanese Ramen Noodle bowl is a popular Instant Japanese Noodle. This is a YakiSoba Style ramen noodle, which is very similar to Chinese Chow Mein. They are pan fried style Teriyaki noodles, so they taste better with less liquid added.

The dried noodles come in fairly large bowls. Besides the vegetable flakes (the flakes are quite large, compared to conventional ones), there are some other flakes, which is what the UFO refers to: If it is pork flavored, the flakes are dried pieces of pork; if it is beef flavored, they would be dried pieces of beef.
UFO therefore refers to the dried meat, Unidentified Flying Objects, or in this case, Unidentified Frying Objects, inside the noodle bowl.

It is quite easy to prepare the noodles. Just add boiling water to the bowl and keep the cover sealed for 3-5 minutes, or just until the noodles are soft and can be loosened with a pair of chopsticks (remember two put aside the two packets inside the bowl first!). The longer you steep them in boiling water, the softer the noodles will be.

Loosen the noodles. There were two packets that came inside the bowl: one is seasoning, one is the sauce packet. Starting with just a little, mix both seasoning and sauce into noodle bowl.

I found that those sauces and seasonings are just too much. They can be used to prepare at least two bowls of noodles! For the noodle in the photo below, I only used 1/3 of the sauce packet. They are quite tasty already.

Stir well and enjoy!

Overall, UFO noodles are very tasty. The dried meat part is totally unique; very uncommon in the instant noodle world. The meat is actually quite chewy after soaking in water.

The sauce is quite sweet and tasty. If you like teriyaki flavor, you will like these UFO noodles. Just make sure to start with only a little sauce, and adjust the amount to your taste.
