This is more of a public service announcement than a post, but I won't be touching this abomination of a foodstuff again...
I thought I'd use them as a fast and simple addition to some breaded chicken I had, but I really did not enjoy them much.
However, something unexpected and quite unpleasant was to follow... the flavouring is a bit like permanent ink - no matter how many times I've watched my hands, face, and various other parts of my body, I can't seem to get rid of this nasty 'wok-style soba' aroma. I shower every morning and wash my hands multiple times a day, and yet I can still smell the damn things on my fingers, on my face, and even in my nose... and I ate them on Sunday evening...
