MAMA instant rice vermicelli moo nam tok 1 box

MAMA Instant Rice Vermicelli with Moo Nam Tok flavor, typically sold in boxes containing multiple individual servings:

1. Product: MAMA Instant Rice Vermicelli Moo Nam Tok Flavor (เส้นหมี่น้ำตกหมู มาม่า).
2. Brand: MAMA is a very popular and well-established instant noodle brand from Thailand, produced by Thai President Foods.
3. Noodle Type: The product uses „Sen Mee” (เส้นหมี่), which are thin rice vermicelli noodles, different from the more common yellow egg noodles or thicker rice noodles. They cook very quickly and have a delicate texture.
4. Flavor Profile: „Moo Nam Tok” (หมูน้ำตก) translates to „waterfall pork.” It’s a popular Thai grilled pork salad flavor known for being:
   • Spicy: From chili.
   • Sour: From lime juice.
   • Savory: From fish sauce and pork flavor.
   • Aromatic: With notes of shallots, mint, cilantro, and distinctively, toasted ground rice (khao khua), which adds a nutty aroma and slightly thickens the broth/sauce.
   • The instant version aims to replicate this complex flavor profile in a convenient soup base.
5. Contents of „1 Box”: A „box” typically refers to the larger retail or wholesale packaging that contains multiple individual packets of the instant vermicelli. Common box sizes might contain 10, 20, or 30 individual servings (check the specific packaging). Each individual packet (usually around 55g) typically contains:
   • A block of dried rice vermicelli noodles.
   • A sachet of seasoning powder (containing salt, sugar, spices, pork flavor, etc.).
   • A sachet of seasoning oil/paste (often containing chili, garlic, shallot oil, and sometimes the toasted rice element).
   • Sometimes, a separate small sachet of dried chili powder for adjustable heat.
6. Preparation (General Instructions for one packet):
   • Place the rice vermicelli and all the seasoning sachets into a bowl.
   • Pour in about 1.5 cups (around 350-400 ml) of boiling water.
   • Cover the bowl and let it steep for about 3-5 minutes, or until the vermicelli is tender.
   • Stir thoroughly and serve immediately.
   • Optional: You can enhance it by adding cooked pork slices, meatballs, fresh mint, cilantro, bean sprouts, or lime wedges.
7. Potential Allergens: Often contains soy, wheat (sometimes used in flavorings), fish sauce (fish), and possibly shrimp or crustacean traces depending on manufacturing lines. Check the specific packaging for detailed allergen information.
