Noodle Meal: A Taste of Thai Red Curry Noodles

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.
