5.0 out of 5 starsAs a shellfish allergy sufferer, I can once again enjoy Ramen Noodles!

I love Ramen Noodles. I grew up eating Top Ramen brand noodles. They are inexpensive and easy to come by in stores. Unfortunately I developed a shellfish allergy later in life and every brand of Ramen Noodles I have seen in stores carries a shellfish and/or peanut allergy warning and I'm allergic to both.
I was delighted to find these Ka Me Noodles on Amazon. The ingredient list is super simple: Wheat Flour, Salt, Water, and Carotene added for color. The short ingredient list includes nothing that I am allergic to. I was a little apprehensive that they are made in a foreign country, but to my surprise I haven't had any problems.
I love drained Ramen Noodles, not in soup form. Each pack of noodles comes with two extremely long strips of noodles. I break the strips in half so I get four servings out of one pack of noodles. I cook them for 5 minutes in the microwave in a bowl of water and they come out just the way I like them, not too soggy.
My significant other prefers soggier noodles than I do, so he cooks his for seven minutes, also in the microwave. When the noodles come out of the microwave, I drain the noodles and then add a beef bouillon packet. We've been using Hormel Herb Ox Beef Bouillon Packets and they are perfect, no measuring involved.
As someone who's diet is very much limited by food allergies, I am always happy to find a new food. These noodles allow me to have one of my all time favorite foods, Ramen Noodles, without having to worry about having an allergic reaction.
