Honestly, not the greatest instant noodle available in China but it cost me ¥1.50 from a 24/7 convenience store with fairly high markups. If I looked harder I probably could have found them for ¥1.25 or ¥1 in bulk.

Was it spicy? They have a big pepper front and center, so I’m curious.
As far as I recall the term mala refers to the combination of chili and Szechuan pepper that gives a unique numbing heat.
So the noodles have mala? That’s awesome. I bought some Szechuan peppercorns a while back and loved experimenting with them. Stir fried veggies with finely ground peppercorns and some scorpion pepper sauce was fucking lit. Marinate some tofu in something sweet with some soy, it was awesome.
I found a recipe for a Chinese chilli oil infused with chilli, Szechuan pepper and other spices. It is absolutely delicious on noodles
Barely noticeable to my palate but the ingredients did say Sichuan peppercorns and chili powder so it's probably in a low enough amount to be inoffensive throughout the country.
Nice! One of the few living praxis of Left-Mao Zedong Thought in action
Unbelievably based
for anyone else who was interested: that’s .21 usd, 19.05 ruble, .19 euro, 3.98 peso, 30.81 yen, or .16 pound sterling. Sorry for not including every currency, I just listed the first few that caught my eye in the conversion chart.
To anyone who has been to that village, how does it compare to others in Henan? That model is brilliant.
Back when these were sub ¥0.80, you'd just get a pack, carefully break up the noodle brick, open up one side of the packet, pour the flavour packet into the dry crushed noodles, pinch the opening shut, shake then eat the seasoned carbs
Not sure if kids these days still do this.
Shit we did that in college in America lol
I still do this occasionally for a nostalgic snack.
Yeh they sell them as their own thing mamee noodles. Magi were better too large for a snack
Any pics after making it?
It didn't really look very different to any other instant noodle. Also, was in a rush at breakfast so ate it fairly quickly.
