Nissin's Spicy Curry Meal is Made with Rice Rather Than Noodles

— November 2, 2016 — Lifestyle
Nissin proudly brands itself as the producer of "the original instant ramen in a cup," but it is now creating an innovative instant curry that's made with a base of rice instead of noodles.

The spicy chicken meal looks just like a traditional cup noodle, yet it boasts a filling of rice and other flavoring ingredients to create a spicy chicken meal. In the same way that a classic cup of noodles is prepared, a consumer only needs to add hot water to the fill line and wait about five minutes before stirring and eating.

Consumers looking for an ultra-convenient meal are now able to indulge in a flavorful spicy instant curry as an alternative option to eating a noodle soup.
