I have bought the Tha Kitchen rice noodle meals that take 4 minutes to cook. You microwave the noodles and then add a seasoning packet. They are really good. It seems to me though that they are giving you a few cents worth of noodles and seasonings for $1+. Does anyone have any recipes that would duplicate any of their rice noodle meals?
Since the seasoning packet is all dried spices, it seems like you could mix up a big batch and just add it to noodles you cook whenever you want a quick and tasty meal and don't have time to be chopping and dicing fresh garlic, ginger, onion, etc.

IMHO those instant things aren't even close to the taste you get when you cook with fresh ingredients.

I haven't tried their pre made stuff, but you can buy their curry pastes in little jars and use that, maybe mixed with a little coconut milk (frozen from ice cube trays), and some frozen lemongrass (chopped, available at asian grocers) and fresh cilantro, etc...
I agree, but if you have only have 10 minutes, you only have 10 minutes. I don't buy any frozen foods or prepared meals in general, but I find these to be palatable in a pinch.

I am pondering essentially the same thing--but based on our recent discovery of Simply Asian noodle bowls. Seems to me one could get fresh noodles (preferably Asian), split them into bundles about the same size as one is accustomed to (just for cooking time purposes), put a bit of water on the bottom of the cooking dish, add the noodles, drizzle with sauce of one's choosing (I'm thinking one could come up with more palatable ones), cover loosely, and nuke.... I think the results would be better than the packaged noodles....

I will relate what I do. Prepare extra quantities of whatever your favorite food might be and put it in single serving containers to be nuked as needed (soups work especially well this way). Leftovers are still 10x better than space food.
