Mama Korean Udon Hot & Spicy Noodle 90g

Mama Korean Udon Hot and Spicy Noodles with a Proper Chilli Kick

Some nights call for something warming, filling and just a little bit fiery. Mama Korean Udon Hot and Spicy Noodle brings together two noodle traditions in one handy 90g bag: the thick, satisfying bite of Korean style udon and the bold seasoning know how of Mama, one of Thailand's best loved noodle brands. Made in Thailand, these noodles deliver a broth that is savoury, gently creamy and properly spicy, with chilli running right through the seasoning.

What makes this pack stand out from everyday instant noodles is the texture. The noodles are made with wheat flour and tapioca starch, which gives them that springy, slightly chewy mouthfeel udon fans love. They hold up well in hot broth rather than turning soft and limp, so every forkful still has some bounce to it.

The seasoning is where the heat lives. Chilli powder, spices, miso powder and yeast extract build a deep, rounded flavour, while a touch of cream powder softens the edges so the spice warms rather than scorches. A sachet of dried vegetables adds colour and a little extra substance. If you enjoy the punchy, comforting flavours found across our Korean food range, this is an easy way to bring that style of spicy noodle soup to your kitchen for a quick lunch or late supper.

How to Cook and Serve Spicy Korean Udon Noodles

Preparation could hardly be simpler. Bring 400ml of water to the boil, then add the noodles along with the seasoning powder and garnish. Simmer for 4 to 4½ minutes, stirring now and then so the noodles separate evenly. Take the pan off the heat and it is ready to serve. You can also make it up with water in the microwave if you are short on time or away from the hob.

Enjoyed straight from the bowl, it makes a satisfying meal on its own. If you fancy dressing it up, there are plenty of easy ways to do it:

• Crack an egg into the simmering broth for the final minute for a silky, soft set finish.
• Add sliced spring onion, pak choi or a handful of spinach for freshness.
• Top with leftover roast chicken, tofu or a few prawns for extra protein.
• Stir in a spoonful of kimchi or a dash of sesame oil from our seasonings and cooking ingredients to deepen the flavour.
• Finish with a slice of cheese melted on top, a popular trick with spicy noodle lovers.

For milder palates, use a little less of the seasoning powder or add a splash more water to soften the heat. Chilli fans can go the other way and add fresh chilli or a drizzle of chilli oil.
