After having steamed(literally) over my first review of the instant meal pots and the fiery chick’n, people said I should go for the Katsu Curry noodles, as they were tasty and not spicy at all. The reason why I didn’t buy them, when I restocked my regular bags and opted to buy the new fiery chick’n is the lack of samples. It really irks me that I have to buy 8 pots of something I potentially don’t like, just to try it, which is also why I did some math and testing on how this could be done better. And also, not a huge curry fan Anyway I digress.
The Kastu is a very mild meal compared to the Fiery Chick’n, very curryry and ok to eat. It didn’t blow me away or anything. I probably won’t be rebuying, as I am not a great lover of curry, but for anyone who enjoys that, I think it’ll be great. It’s not spicy at all.
There are some “meaty” chunks in there that I feel are too soft after preparation, the same style chunks are in the Fiery Chick’n, but I feel it has more bite there, which I feel is a better texture.
TLDR; Ok-ish for a non curry lover and probably a hit with one who loves curry.
Fiery Chick’n hands down, I just wish if was a little milder. I rebought them even after saying I wouldn’t and had them yesterday for dinner and man they burn in both ends(sorry). 50% less heat and they’d be really great for my taste buds
Tried them both. Am a huge currie fan myself so had high hopes. The fiery chicken, was really spikey, but enjoyable, would regard this as a treat rather than a daily goto. The katsu was a real surprise though, and this is definitely going to be part of my under-the-desk stash.
On both, I am not a huge fan of the “meaty” pieces, texture wise, but to be fair, both are just streets ahead of the well known supermarket stocked brands. Its just a shame that the healthy option (Huel) is double the price of the mass produced stuff.
I am not sure if this is possible but a vegetable type medley. Peas, peppers, onions, maybe carrots. Add that to the protein noodle base, it might be quite nice. “Other brand” pots have the odd token gesture of a couple of peas and a minute sliver of carrot, so maybe its doable. The only thing I would moan about is the inclusion of mushroom, they don’t play well with me.
Ooooh. Origionally I thought about the katsu sauce as a base, but perhaps instead use ginger and (maybe) lime. The ginger and maybe some black pepper would give it the kick.
Sooooo, vegetable medley, black pepper and a ginger kick.
Anyway I digress.
