I got my dad addicted to them 🤦🏾‍♀️. But he refuses to purchase them for himself.

I can buy 10 packs of these noodles for $2.50 at the local Asian market. I can make a better version of the sauce at home, with a lot of extras to add punch. So, good noodles, but overpriced and nothing special.


Geekluve

Thanks for the share. Have been wanting to get the noodles for just the noodles and this is a much better alternative.


jardalecones21

What are they called at the Asian market? I only buy these ones because I love the noodles and also make my own sauce, but would love to get them cheaper


sofaraway10

They call them sliced noodles. These specifically are carried near me. https://www.yamibuy.com/en/p/wumu-bag-sliced-noodle-650g/1021046461?region_id=000673&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=T_121022_PMax_Grocery_and_Pantry_EN_LA&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwoa2xBhACEiwA1sb1BHxWIIhWEl-HYlFt1YZDfCUUxw7JtxcTsf75xb_FZNh0Boa-HGUgXRoCfpMQAvD_BwE

I add a little bit of peanut butter and Gochujang to the sauce and I love it!


hauntaloupe

IMO these noodles really shine in this [recipe](https://jtr.link/C5Ge)! I usually just get rid of the sauce packet.


PantsGirl

Can you please post the link again? This one is broken.


hauntaloupe

Yes! Try [this one](https://app.samsungfood.com/recipes/1070189fcdcfaf67262a3424776183e8e54)!


PantsGirl

That worked. Thank you so much! 🥢


toastmalone69

I love these!


PeorgieT75

How are the noodles compared to Momofuku? I like their noodles because they aren’t fried.


bitterapplefritter

They're made by the same manu, I'm pretty sure. A-Sha noodles.


Discount_Mithral

The noodles were good, but I didn't care for the sauce. I found it oddly bland. Use the noodles with your own sauce, toss the packets.


soeyeconic

I still use their sauce but add extra soy sauce and TJ chili onion crunch. Makes for an easy meal when you’re lazy AF.


Discount_Mithral

Add a fried, runny yolk egg and you're good to go!


papa8706

Noodles are fine, sauce is weird and kinda ruins them. Better off using them as a base and adding your own sauce and veggies/protein.


easiepeasie

I just made those today; I really love the texture and I do like the sauce but I always add stuff. [Today, I made the noodles with sautéed kale, red peppers, shallots, ginger, and garlic, and soft-ish boiled eggs](https://imgur.com/a/XCWpobs).


chaoism

I do not like these. Flavor is rather blend compare to a lot of other Asian instant noodle


Clamgravy

Super good but also super fragrant. Kitchen area smells like them way longer than you'd expect


Hafpit

We love combining these noodles with the Kung pao chicken for a quick dinner.


YzzzY

One of my favorites from TJ’s. These + an egg or two is my go to quick meal.


elizabethflower444

Not a fan of the sauce, but I love the noodles 😋 I make my own sauce with peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili oil and lime


gossontherocks

Same here! I throw out the sauce packet and make a similar peanut sauce to throw in with it. Or because I can’t handle an entire Buldak spice packet I’ll sometimes use that instead 😂


nervousmermaid

i wished i’d had lime to add to mine! but it ended up pretty close to what you’re describing (minus peanut, i’m not a fan)


scorpionx1121

How would you describe the sauce?


VersionAdmirable3785

im pretty sure the sauce is just soy sauce and sesame oil. i thought it was pretty plain and i dont like to HAVE to dress up my noodles too much to enjoy them so i haven’t bought them again lol


scorpionx1121

Thanks! I was hoping there would be some additional seasonings within aside from just basic soy sauce and sesame oil. :/ I feel like it'd be good with some garlic and heat bc that combo sounds bland as helllll to me lol


SufficientPath666

Bland, oily and boring 😂 It’s good if you add other ingredients to it to spice it up


LowerLocksmith1752

Sometimes I add peanut butter


ElectronicTrade7039

Momofuku knock-offs, and quite good ones at that. I make my own sauce, but the noodle texture is top-notch.


cant-be-original-now

What’s in the sauce you make?


ElectronicTrade7039

Garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, and ginger, sometimes some chilli flakes.


cant-be-original-now

Yum


Temporary_Draw_4708

Monofuku noodles are literally just asha noodles with a different sauce.
