Time and again, Cup Noodles adds creative and curious flavors. From last summer’s s’mores offering to the pumpkin spice from several years back, these unlikely ramen flavors had people talking. These limited time offerings were far from traditional, but they showed the flavor versatility of the simple comfort food.
This summer, Nissin Foods USA embraces another food trend that continues to infuse its flavor into every and any time of food, pickle. From pizza to cotton candy, tangy, spicy, and briny pickles have people running to taste every curious food mashup.
Speaking about this particular limited-time, summer flavor, Priscila Stanton, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Nissin Foods USA, said, “With pickles dominating everything from social trends to grocery shelves, we knew it was time to bring this cult-favorite flavor to Cup Noodles in an unexpected way. Cup Noodles Dill Pickle brings the perfect balance of tangy and bold, and this twist is sure to catch noodle and pickle enthusiasts by surprise, in the best way possible.”
Although no one had pickle ramen on their food bingo card, this flavor is more than pickle slices floating on some broth. The complexity of the offering is one of the reasons why this specialty flavor works.
Specifically, Cup Noodles Dill Pickle is at first sour pickle forward. That punch of big, bold tanginess awakens the palate. In some ways, that flavor note is similar to ingredients in other noodle dishes. Sour is a necessary key component to a well-balanced Asian dish.
Afterwards, the dill comes through. That herbaceous note is more than just another layer of pickle. It brings a brightness, almost refreshing note, that adds complexity to the ramen. This component is key to really enjoying that satisfying slurp.
