As if Cup Noodles weren’t convenient enough, the budget-friendly meal is now completely portable — no utensils required.
The Vulgar Chef is here with the food-on-a-stick, we never knew we needed — Deep-fried Cup Noodles On A Stick. Thirty-seconds in the microwave, followed by a few minutes in the deep-fryer, and you could be on your way.
It’s getting hot out there. Beverages and food, designed to keep us warm most of the year, will soon be rethought and iced. Thanks to Nissin, instant ramen is no exception.
Cup Noodle Somen is meant to be served cold. Stop sweating while you slurp your noodles this summer, with a more refreshing version of the beloved and cost-effective meal. It’s sea bream and yuzu-flavored, and it’s encouraged that ice is added to the broth. It will be available in Japan after June 19th.

To help celebrate its 40th Anniversary and for feeding broke coeds for decades, Cup Noodle maker Nissin created the Robo Cup Noodle Timer.
