Wok'd is a new range of instant noodles from Tata Consumer Products, designed to help people enjoy quick meals that converge street food flavor with protein.
Korean BBQ, Sweet Chilli, and Teriyaki are three Asian-inspired options in the lineup, each made with wok-fried noodles paired with vegetables to deliver up to 20 grams of vegetarian-friendly protein and between 3.9 and 7.9 grams of fiber. These no-boiling-needed noodle meals only need to be warmed in the microwave for 60 seconds, and they were designed with versatility in mind, functioning as both a standalone snack or a base for a customized meal. As such, Wok'd appeals to students, young professionals and families who need fast, no-compromise nourishment and appreciate Thai, Chinese and Korean cuisine with a hint of heat.
