About this ramen

This Cup Noodles flavor adds jalapeño heat to Nissin's classic chicken cup. Ground green jalapeño and dried jalapeño flakes carry the spice, with a squeeze of lime juice and green cabbage juice. Powdered chicken and chicken fat form the base, with carrot flakes for color. Nissin says it cooks in about 2 minutes 15 seconds, in the microwave or with hot water. Unlike the original Chicken cup, this one does contain MSG; its label lists wheat, soybean, egg and milk.
