The Make In Minutes Instant Noodles by Aldi costs £0.35 each and are honestly not so great. They have absolutely no flavor and should only be used as a base when you make noodle dishes. These noodles are very similar to the review we did on ASDA’s Instant Noodles.
These ramen noodles are honestly probably the most tasteless noodles I’ve ever had. Therefore you should be using them as a base rather than using the provided sachet. The noodles themselves also take slightly longer to cook than most instant noodle sets. They tend to come out still as harder than the usual noodles.
If you eat them with their sachet without anything added to it- it will be tasteless. I find that the ‘chicken’ (and) the ‘curry’ flavor sachets just don’t add any form of taste to the noodles.
We added Lao Gan Ma Chinese Hot Chili Oil (paid link) to our noodles. The Lao Gan Ma really helped to elevate the noodles as it added a much needed spicy kick to them. I also recommend the Squid Fish Sauce (paid link) as it adds a lot of umami to the noodles. I would suggest only adding a teaspoon at maximum as it can be salty; however.
Aldi Instant Noodles Review Conclusion
Overall, the Aldi Instant Noodles are honestly not great if you’re going to have them with the sachet. If you do purchase them; they are best to be used as a base noodle. This seems to be a theme similar to many instant noodles by a lot of the supermarket brands. Especially as ASDA’s is the same and pretty much costs the same price.
