At 7-ELEVEN in Tokyo, I found an unfamiliar product called "Biangbiang noodles". "Biangbiang" is a kanji, but it has a lot of strokes and I have never seen it. You can see that it is Chinese noodles because it continues with "Xian style sesame oil noodles". I was curious, so I tried it.

7-ELEVEN Biangbiang noodles

Simply put, it feels like a mixed noodle with a sauce that uses plenty of spicy oil. Stir-fried cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots and stick-shaped char siu are placed on top of the boiled noodles.



However, the noodles are very wide! It is close to 3 cm. Kishimen.


The wide noodles have a smooth and chewy texture. The volume fills the mouth with noodles with just one sip, and it goes well with spicy sauce.


Stir-fried vegetables are accented with a crispy texture. The char siu cut into a stick shape has a strong umami flavor and gives off a presence comparable to noodles.


But somehow it doesn't seem to be "Nice to meet you" ...? When I checked the ingredients, it said "boiled hoto". Speaking of which, it's hoto noodles!


However, the exotic spice scent is completely different from the taste of hoto. People who like wide udon noodles, sword-cut noodles, and noodles with a chewy texture will love it! If you see it, please give it a try.
