Asian-Inspired Stir-Fry Cups

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Cup Noodles Stir Fry is the Brand's First Soupless Cup

— January 14, 2021 — Lifestyle
Cup Noodles Stir Fry is the first soupless cup from the Nissin Foods brand and it shares a convenient way for consumers to enjoy Asian-inspired flavored like hot garlic chicken and teriyaki chicken. The microwavable noodle cups are filled with vegetables like cabbage and green beans and the recipes are free from artificial flavors and added MSG. At a time when people are eating more meals at home, these options help to provide quick and easy mealtime choices.

To introduce the new stir-fry noodle cups in a fun way, and mark the brand's 50th anniversary, Cup Noodles is teaming up with WWE Superstars. Asuka and The Miz will be bringing "fun noodle antics" to virtual company meetings.
