I found myself looking for something different for lunch today. As I rummaged through the cabinets I found quick meal ready to eat from A Taste of Thai. The packaging mentions 4 minutes for a ready to eat meal. It also prominently displays that it's gluten-free, no MSG, no trans fat, and no preservatives.
A perfect celiac meal.
Wow, this is simple. All you have to do is add water to a pre-marked level in the box and dump the separate packets into the water. You close it up and microwave for 3 minutes on high, then stir, close it back up, and microwave for another minute on high.
Once I removed it from the microwave I poured it into a bowl. Yes in theory you could eat right out of the carton (similar to a Chinese takeout carton), but I like to pretend I'm civilized.
After letting the noodles cool, I proceeded to eat both servings. They tasted great, sauce was creamy with strong coconut and red curry flavor. If you eat a cartoon alone you're in for 560 calories with 120 of them coming from fat.
A Taste of Thai Red Curry noodles is a great gluten-free product and something that celiacs should keep stocked in their pantry and/or their office.

I loved these noodles, too. I also tried their Coconut Ginger variety, which I thought I'd love... but didn't. It, surprisingly, was bland. The same can't be said of the Red Curry varity -- it provides a tasty, spicy punch of flavor. Yum.
Those Taste of Thai noodle box thingys are a staple in my lunch diet. (Fast and easy for a quick meal at school.) I agree with Karen that the Coconut Ginger one is bland. I LOVE the Peanut Noodles. Super yummy!
After you try Tinkyada Gluten free rice pasta, your search for GF noodles will be over. It is so hard to find noodles that do not turn into a huge lump of mess or have a horrible texture, but these are perfect! They even say on their packing that the noodles can with stand a little bit of over cooking... wow, that says alot, normally if you dont stand and time GF noodles to the exact second they turn out to be a mess! not with these noodles. http://tinkyada.com/
