Jade Pearl Organic Rice Ramen - 2.8 Oz Bags (Pack of 10)

The BEST ramen that we've ordered online! Period! The flavor is divine and it is so light and perfect! I never took a photo because we ate it all!

As a gluten free girlie, I am always hunting for something that I can eat that feels and looks like it should without giving me the rumbly tummy. I got a single pack of this to try in the grocery store and loved it so much I ordered this multi-pack. I love that it has a good flavor to it by itself, but it also really lends to adding whatever you have on hand. I throw in a jammy egg, roasted tomato, spinach, scallions, chili crunch, steamed veggies, really whatever I have. It's the simplest meal and I'm very pleased to be able to keep it on the shelf instead of in the freezer with my other gluten free stuff.

They are yummy and have a great texture for gluten free. Don't expect the 50 cent ramen flavor. The noodles have a kind of vanilla-y smell. The broth is like miso, rather than the regular ramen broth. They're very good, but individual size is smaller than regular ramen. I really like them but I won't buy again because of the price.

I became hooked on miso soup after my daughter made some for me when I had bronchitis. With lockdowns and health warnings going out, I decided to try to stock up on some more in case someone in our family got sick. A search brought up this ramen so I decided to give it a try. It's perfect. The soup base tastes how I hoped and the noodles are a bonus treat. Keep in mind that I did not make it in the microwave like cheap 15 cent a bag ramen! Because I'm unable to eat gluten, I've become a bit more adept at preparing rice noodles. Here's how I made mine - Find a smaller sauce pan and fill with water and put on stove top to boil. Thinly slice onions and carrots and put into the sauce pan. Warm canned peas in microwave. Once the water is almost boiling, add an egg or two to poach. When the water is fully boiling, add the noodles and use a fork to gently separate them so they cook evenly. Remove the eggs before they become hard. Once the noodles feel soft to the fork, check them every 30 seconds until they are the texture you prefer. Immediately move them and the veggies with a slotted spoon to your bowl. Open the seasoning packet and shake over the noodles and stir in then slowly add in water from your sauce pan until the broth is the consistency you prefer. Add the eggs and peas and any other toppings you like and enjoy. Yeah, it's more work than cheap noodles, but I promise, the extra work is worth it. You will have lots of flavor and a pleasant texture which some other reviewers said was lacking.

Did not taste as good as the other flavors by Lotus foods.

This is one of my favorite healthy, simple meals, and an absolute go-to when myself or my kids are sick. The rice noodles are a beautiful jade green (the package says it's chlorophyll...so it's like dehydrated sunshine), and a delicious miso powder with lots of seaweed bits in it. I add a thin pat of real butter to it to bring it to life and add a taste of fullness. I make the miso soup package ahead of time for my soup thermos if I'm taking it to work...but I add the noodles at lunchtime. They don't like soaking for hours in the broth..they get really soggy. I break them up and then add them to the broth in my thermos, and let them sit about 5 mins....perfection!

What happened? I've purchased these noodles by the 10-pack for more than a decade. My latest batch is completely different -- the cooking instructions take longer (9 minutes recommended on the pack, yet still not enough, whereas 5 used to be plenty), the noodles still never get soft, the broth is cloudy, not clear, and the ramen noodles themselves are grainy. This ramen used to be delicious, now it is an inedible mess.

So this is my go to for my gluten free diet. I used to love wheat ramen but due to dietary reasons cannot have wheat any longer. After trying several rice ramen options, this is it. I only buy this one and eat it regularly. It cooks up in 4 minutes and the taste/texture is as close to wheat ramen as I have found after tryng several brands. The color is not that appealing but you get over it. I add some hot pepper seeds and a slice of american cheese and yummy!
