Nissin – GooTa “Demi-hamburg-men” – Waiter, there’s a brown patty floating in my soup!
Posted in: Today's Chili
There is no end to the possibilities of Cup Noodles in Japan. Now Nissin, the original and largest instant ramen noodle maker in Japan, as part of its high-end “GooTa” instant noodle line, has mixed 2 of Japan’s favorite foods to make the Oban (big-sized) Demi-hamburg-men:
1) Instant ramen noodles in soup
2) Hamburg steak
Instant ramen noodles need no explanation, and in my opinion, taste best in simple form…
Hamburg steak – known as “hambagu” in Japan (back home, known as “meatloaf”), is often thought of as am expensive, gourmet western dish, often with exotic sauce. This one is no different, with a glistening demi-glace sauce.
The result is “Demi-hamburg-men (“men” meaning noodles). Ramen noodles in soup with a hamburg steak covered in demi-glace sauce floating on top.
Just add hot water and watch your Demi-hamburg grow and come to life.
At 237 yen, it is at a higher price point than the usual Cup Noodle, but to hambagu lovers, it may be worth it.
(Note: “Hambagu” is not to be confused with “Hambaga” which is served on a bun, usually with cheese, lettuce and tomato.)
