If your a sucker for instant Mexican food you have to try the Maruchan Cup Noodle. To make these cup noodles is not much of a problem, nor do you need to know how to cook. As long as you follow these simple instructions I guarantee you that your instant Mexican food will be amazing.
1) The first step is to choose one of the two most famous flavors
For those who are addicted to sea food flavor I personally recommend the one with shrimp.
Yes, it comes with SHRIMP!! The only bad part is that it just does not bring enough shrimp to satisfy you.
If you are more of a chicken lover, do not worry. There is also a chicken flavor soup.
If these two flavors do not do the trick for you, you can visit your local market to find new flavors that you might like.
2) The Procedure
First thing is first, open and take off the lid. Once you have done that add water. Enough water that there is at least 2-3 cm of water above the soup. Do not add to little because then the soup won't cook well, or to much because then the flavor will go away.
Once you added the water put it in the micro.
If you like your soup crunchy I suggest adding 1 minute and 30 seconds.
If you like your soup well done the ideal time would be 3 minutes.
If you do not know what would be the ideal cook for you or is your first time, I suggest adding 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
3)Add your spice!!!
If you are one who loves the taste of lemon, don't you worry. Adding some lemon on your soup will just make you love it more. Adding your own spice into it is important for your satisfaction.
On the other hand if you are spicy lover tapatÃo is the best hot sauce you can choose for this soup. But be careful because this amazing hot sauce can heat things up really fast.
4) Enjoy!!
Once every has been done and added you can now enjoy this gift filled with many flavors that will wish you had another one in your hands.
The blog is very straightforward and clear. I think it does a good job of explaining the procedure. The one thing i would change is the extra flavors part at the end of step 1. I feel like your trying to speak to new tasters so to jeep in line with that tone, you should say "if these two flavors aren't appealing, then you can go to your local market and see what other flavors they have to offer". Saying "if you prefer other flavors" sounds like they may know about cup of noodles already. Its a small detail that I thought about. Lastly, I cook my cup of noodles with hot water from a water dispenser. It takes longer to get the noodles soggy but that's how i was taught. I don't know if that's as common as using the microwave, but if it is, you could add that method to your cooking section.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin,
ReplyDeleteDid you do any revisions on this? I love this idea for a blog. Your image choices are attractive, but ultimately not as helpful as they could have been (for example, why do I want to see the back of the box, when I could have seen the waterline inside the cup? I wish that there was a little bit more of an explanation at the beginning of how a Japanese food item could be a "Mexican food" as you describe it. I definitely agree that this preparation can be thought of as a Mexican food, though.
Some other details like what Isaias describes could have been good though. What about adding other hot sauces? Or lime instead of lemon? Or having both lemon and hot sauce?
