#3159: Sichuan Baijia Big Boss Hot & Sour Sweet Potato Vermicelli - China

The vermicelli hydrated well. Made a few crosscuts with a pair of kitchen scissors. The flavor was strong on the Sichuan pepper side and super strong otherwise. Super oily too. Lots of included garnish was neat but it had a very odd flavor - to me at least. 1.5 out of 5.0 stars.  EAN bar code 6926410338165.

#2976: Sichuan Baijia Sichuan Hot & Sour Vermicelli - China

Finished (click to enlarge). Added sping onion. The sweet potato thread hydrated well. A couple of crosscuts with a pair of scissors made them more manageable. They have a kind of gumminess and clinginess that makes them a big clump of food - nothing wrong with that; it's just their way. The broth has a sour taste from black vinegar and a chilli pepper spiciness - I expected Sichuan peppercorn in here but really didn't come across is. Included pickled sprouts were decent in the end and gave a nice crunch. Beans were well hydrated as well. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars.  EAN bar code 6926410372633.

#2401: Sichuan Baijia Chongqing Noodles Burning Dry Noodles - China

Finished (click to enlarge). Added Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts and tofu puff. The noodles as with the pack version are mushy and fun - like lasagna. The taste is like a spicy meat sauce in a way with Sichjuan pepper heat. I really like this stuff. My wife however thought it smelled bad - like rotted meat in a trash bag in the sun (her exact words)! I did get her to try it though, but she said it was way too spicy. I really like it though. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 6926410331845.

The Ramen Rater samples yet another 'flower pot' bariety from China - they're really big cups with tons of sachets and fancy artwork

#2821: Sichuan Baijia Broad Noodle Sour Soup Fish Flavor - China

Finished (click to enlarge). Added spring onion, tofu and Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts. The broad noodle is perfect here - hot too chewy and not too thin. The broth is like a torrential downpour of strong taste - Sichuan peppercorn heat and an almost lemony hit to it with a good oiliness. The included vegetables were just right. 4.5 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 6926410332767.

Nouilles instantanées Baijia au piment

J'ai suffisamment d'amour propre pour avoir arrêté de manger des ramen, mais ça ne fait pas de mal de temps en temps d'en tester de nouvelles variétés. Surtout que celle-ci, à en tâter le paquet, semble de qualité supérieure à la normale. A l'intérieur, les pâtes sont présentées de manière bien différente des habituels Yum-Yum. On dirait presque des tagliatelles fraîches, mais blanches et sèches. On trouve également pas un mais trois paquets d'ingrédients supplémentaires ! Un contient une poudre, un les morceaux de piment dans leur huile et l'autre la sauce). La particularité de cette gamme, c'est qu'on ne garde pas l'eau. Mais les pâtes l'absorbent tellement qu'il y a facilement deux fois plus à manger que dans un paquet de ramen classiques (pour autant, je me suis tapé une méga dalle même pas deux heures après avoir mangé... ?). Bref, la qualité est supérieure aux Yum-Yum, le goût est sympa, mais tout ça est accessoire, car il n'y a qu'une chose à retenir : ça arrache la bouche. On est clairement au maximum de ce qui peut être pimenté tout en restant mangeable, au-delà c'est à réserver aux suicidaires...

#1863: Sichuan Baijia Broad Noodle Pickled Vegetable Artificial Beef Flavor - China

Finished (click to enlarge). Added some beef. The broad noodles hydrated very well. They have a good chew to them and were easily navigable. Good quantity too. The flavor was hideous. I am thoroughly bummed about this, too. The saltiness was off the charts - inedible! I also noticed that the sodium contents was 3,120mg according to the package - 155% of daily value. Yikes. It hurt to eat. 0.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 6926410320900.

1801: Sichuan Baijia Spicy Artificial Fei-Chang Flavor Instant Vermicelli (New Version) - China

Finished (click image to enlarge). Added Chinese sausage, white onion, spring onion, green bell pepper and Goat Horn pepper from Dwayne. The vermicelli hydrated wonderfully at 5 1/2 minutes. I used a pair of kitchen scissors to make them more easily navigable. They weren't bad and that's mainly because of the broth. First off, yes. When I first tried this I was most certainly an ignorant gwai-lo - or at least my tongue was five years ago. I would say the broth has a nice rich herbed flavor - lots of star anise, maybe some clove and cinnamon. To be honest, it reminds me of flavors I would more associate with duck, but it works quite well with the noodles. The beans hydrated very well in the allotted time as well. Since this is a new version, it supersedes the old and will no longer appear on the bottom ten list going forward. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars.  EAN bar code 6926410320030.
