For starters, it is 100% vegetarian which does not encompass any animal, alcohol, addictive, MSG, chemicals or any added preservatives, placing you on the better path of healthier living as it is gentle to the body with a low-calorie count. Even though the Samurai Ramen is not part of the 'Halal food JB' clique with an exact halal certification it would be deemed essential to be mindful of the healthy benefits it entails and brings about.

One would find bamboo chopsticks, noodles, soup paste and chili powder which comprise the contents of this packet. For newbies who are learning the art of cooking, there is also a direction manual in the box assisting you through every step of the way.
As instant as it is you don't have to worry about spending time and sweating it out over the stove mixing pots and pans until your hands go numb because this ramen can be whipped up in just approximately 5 minutes!
You can even customize the topping of your end masterpiece to your heart's desire (and then maybe boast about it on social media along with the 101 pictures that you took of it).
However, be wary of the remaining ramen left in the packet. Store it in a location where it is not attracted by direct sunlight and to be on the safe side it would be best if it is stored at normal temperature in an airtight container until it is ready to be cooked again.
If you're feeling too lackluster to dress fancy and actually visit the restaurant, worry not. Online ordering has got you covered through which you are able to purchase Samurai Ramen in your pajamas and whip it up instantaneously in the comfort of your own kitchen.
