This time we’ve got some noodles I’ve had lying around for a while for this blog and I’m excited to try them! They’re Akuan brand black duck flavoured noodles according to the sticker on the back. These are sauce style rather than soup style, and the ingredients have me expecting vibrant chinese flavours.
As with many sauce style noodles, they have one huge flavour packet containing the sauce. The noodles themselves are flat and smell like they have some flavouring of their own.
The sauce itself has a sweet, meaty, fragrant smell that I like. The taste is complex and nice, with a strong presence of sichuan pepper. the noodle texture is hard to discern because they’re so thin, but they seem soft with a slight bite to them. The sichuan maintains its punch as I eat, and it’s kind of an “eat through the spice” scenario, which honestly I like. I’m also coming down with a cold at the moment and it’s giving my throat a nice singe that I think will do me good. Overall really lovely if you like sichuan pepper.
