Nongshim Tempura Udon Style Noodles, Big Bowl Instant Soup, 12 Count

Some lunches are easier to plan when they don’t call for a pot or strainer. Nongshim Tempura Udon Style Noodles bring a full bowl of noodles and savory broth together in a microwaveable cup.

The wheat noodles are thicker than standard ramen noodles, with a chewy texture suited to udon-style soup. Bonito, anchovy, and kelp form the broth, while tempura flakes and other toppings add texture and flavor.

A case includes twelve 4.02 oz bowls for pantry shelves, dorm rooms, office break rooms, or quick meals at home. Prepare a bowl with hot water or use the microwave according to the directions below.

Usage tips

For the hot-water method, open the lid halfway, add the soup base, and pour in hot water to the inside fill line—about 1 2/3 cups or 400 mL. Close the lid and let the noodles stand for 4 minutes. This method keeps preparation simple when a kettle or hot-water source is available.

For microwave preparation, use room-temperature water and the microwaveable bowl. The listed directions call for 5 1/2 minutes at 1000 W. Follow the preparation directions on the package, and take care when handling the hot bowl and soup. Either method gives you a ready-to-serve noodle soup without transferring it from a cooking pot.

What you’ll notice day to day

The noodle texture gives this soup a distinct udon-style feel, while the savory bonito broth brings together seafood notes from bonito, anchovy, and kelp. Tempura flakes, fish cake, and dried vegetables add variety to each bowl, so it’s more than noodles served in broth alone. The soup is non-spicy, making its flavor profile a savory rather than heat-focused choice.

Compared with preparing noodles in a pot and portioning soup separately, these individual bowls keep serving and cleanup straightforward. They work well for a quick lunch at a desk, a dorm-room meal, or a pantry option to keep on hand. The twelve-bowl case also makes it easy to store multiple individual servings for different days or people.

Buying verdict

Choose Nongshim Tempura Udon Style Noodles for convenient individual portions with chewy wheat noodles, a savory bonito-based broth, and tempura and vegetable toppings. The two preparation methods make the bowls practical for home, work, or a dorm setting, whether you have hot water ready or prefer to use a microwave.
