Are Chinese Noodles (Mr. Noodle, etc.) Vegetarian-friendly?

Question

I've heard two different answers on this one. some people say that the vegetarian, mushroom, etc. flavours are alright but the meat-flavoured ones like Chicken and Beef aren't, and i've heard others say that even the 'meat'-flavoured ones are actually artificial flavours. Does anyone have a reliable authority/source for this?

Answer 1

Packaged noodles have a 50-50 chance of being veggie. The flour  maybe be mixed with eggs.

So try RICE noodles.

Or try Noodels from India , Maggie / TOP ramen etc, which have a veggie version.

Just a pointer, people eat veggie to be able to lead a healthy life style.

Packaged noodles are not really healthy.

Check out the sodium content , very high, all the chemicals etc.

I know when faced with a situation where there is no veggie stuff and all you can do is get noodles you wanna go for it , but avoid any packaged food on a regular basis.

Check sodium etc.

I avoid all kind of meat flavoring , artificial or not, cannot tell.

Best way is to ask a company, email them. and if they say its veggie , decide if you wanna believe them and stick to that brand.

Example I like cheese but the one without animal rennet, so I read for that but Cabot is the one I trust and use often.

Good Luck

Answer 2

look at the ingredients on the packaging. if you see meat products listed in the ingredients than obviously they're not vegetarian friendly.

common sense.

Answer 3

Yes, the noodles are, but the flavouring packet is usually not.

Some noodles are egg-noodles though.

Just read the package.

Also, these noodles are deep fried = not good.

There are some that are not deep fried and use a flash boil and dry method to make them, but I've only actually seen this type once before, and it said so on the package, so that was their selling point.
