KA-ME says: Fresh-pack vegetables and noodles, authentic sauces, premium ingredients, that's why KA-ME's Szechuan noodle dish tastes so great. And what could be easier! Just two pouches. Mix, heat and serve right in the box or with your favorite entree. KA-ME brings the traditional appeal of Szechuan cuisine, with straw mushrooms and baby corn, to your table in just two minutes.

Sarah says: These noodles-in-a-box things they deliver! I've commented on it before, but I'm a big fan of the fresh-pack noodles. At first, they kind of freaked me out - cooked noodles in a plastic bag? Don't they go bad? NO, because that's where the "fresh" part of "fresh-pack" comes in, apparently. Ah, the wonders of modern science. The future is now.

So because of the pack o' fresh noodles, you get pasta that actually tasted like it was cooked on the stove, and not in the microwave. It's also nice to see real <em>sauce</em> come out of the little packet — packed with veggies, I might add! It honestly feels like you're just heating up last night's leftovers, which is refreshing after years of powdered flavoring and faux noodles that come in block form.

This particular version was pretty spicy, something you should expect from anything labeled "Szechuan." My tongue loved it, but my post-hangover stomach had second thoughts. Luckily, in SarahWorld, the tongue is Master and the stomach takes a backseat when making important decisions. I also enjoyed the baby corn and straw mushrooms: they were actually substantial vegetables. That's a good thing, since the worst part about the whole "fresh-pack" deal is that I guess it doesn't work with meat, so you're going to have to get your protein elsewhere. So on second thought, maybe the future isn't now, it's more like tomorrow, or even next week. When modern science can give me fresh-packed prime rib, then we'll talk.
