Cheap food review: Target’s Ming Tsai Hunan Noodles

I am an unabashed fan of noodle meals that come in boxes. Target is also the place where the vast majority of my grocery and household needs expenditures are made. I gave up on the Simply Asia brand because I am frankly scared of food made in China, however tasty they were (and they indeed were tasty). So I was happy to find semi-superstar Ming Tsai’s own brand of noodles (made in India…) at Target.

Today I finally had a chance to try the Ming Tsai Hunan Noodles, described as ‘delicious wheat noodles tossed with a spicy savory sauce’. Easy to make in 1.5 minutes in the microwave, too.

My thoughts: a fail.
Really lacking any flavor other spicy. Greasy too. Unlike Simply Asia, this dish also lacked anything substantial other than flavorless carrot dust. Stay away.

As I sit here nibbling on Ming Tsai Hunan Sawdust tasting noodles, reading your blog entry, I decide you are correct. This is nasty. And the portion of noodles compared to the size of the box it came in is a complete joke.

I love Ming Tsai. He is like my favorite of all TV chefs. But what the hell is he thinking putting his name on this crap? Well, if I was offered the chance to sell Mike Noodles, with my face on the box, I’m sure I would do it to.

And what the hell is up with food sold in American Targets being made in India and China? Why am I eating this? Do I want to be the latest casualty broadcast on Fox News? Jeez, America, the bread basket of the world, is importing food? What the hell?
