75% OF CHICKS DIG IT
Very bland
I found it to taste very off and have slight metallic/ watery flavor. Was very disapointed in this product and will not buy again. I was really excited purchasing this product but in the end i was not satisfied.
A Staple In My House
I almost always have Sidekicks Asian teriyaki noodles in my house, & the only times I don't it's because I just ate it! It's such a simple side dish that is very flavourful & versatile. I love to serve it on busy nights with slow cooker teriyaki chicken, so when I get home from work, dinner can be served within about 10 minutes!
Sidekick
I am a terrible cook, but we enjoy delicious meals with sidekicks! They are fast, convenient and easy to make. Have it as a side dish or eat is as a lunch meal, they are great.
great noodles
The knorr sidekicks are my go to side dish for an evening when we are all rushed and want something quick and good. They are top quality and have lots of very good flavors. My personal favorite is the Teriyaki flavored. They are also good to add in your own ingredients and make a meal on its own, with chicken and veggies or whatever protein you prefer!
Not great
As someone who’s tried and really enjoyed a wide variety of these Sidekick dishes, I have to say that the Asia-inspired flavours tend to fall flat, and these teriyaki noodles are no exception. It’s not all bad, the carrots and green onion pieces are nice and add some variety to the meal, it’s easy to make, and it’s quite filling, but I can’t say I’d ever buy it again. The taste is really sour and unpleasant, and I say that as someone who loves teriyaki noodles. It’s so overpowering that it’s not easy to eat the whole bowl, and it doesn’t help that it’s still quite high in sodium (though apparently not as high as it used to be.)
I can’t find much to recommend here, but if you have this at home and need something to add to a meal, or a quick bowl of pasta for one, it’s not the worst thing you could eat. When compared to real Teriyaki noodles, it's very bad though!
SUMMARY
Pros
+ Pieces of carrot and green onion are nice for variety.
+ Easy to make.
+ Makes a good size
Cons
- Very high in sodium (17% of daily recommended limit)
- Taste is overpowering and not very pleasant.
For a product not home made it tastes the closest to home made. Great side dish. Easy to put together. Full of flavour. Good value for the cost of package.
When im in a rush this is a great product to just add some chicken and vegetables to. I usually dont use prepackaged food but this one is my favorite. Tastes great and you cant go wrong for the price
I love Asian foods, and usually make them from scratch – this mix helps on nights where I just don’t have time and want a tasty meal.
It cooks up in less than 15 minutes from beginning to end, and I usually use a little bit less water than suggested (1-3/4 cup), and let it sit longer once the margarine is put in while I toss up some fresh chicken, mushrooms, green onions, broccoli, and tofu to mix in with the rice to make it a full meal!
It doesn’t taste totally Asian authentic, but definitely takes away the Asian food craving for the time being. I even add in some Asian spices to give it a bit more kick.
The sodium content is ok – at about 17% of my required daily intake, it’s a LOT less than most pre-packaged Asian cuisine meals.
This is a semi regular staple in our kitchen
