Contuining the elusive search for an easy, yet healthy and edible take-to-work lunch, I tried the Thai Kitchen product that I found on sale at Giant last night for $1.79.
From the "Noodle Cart" line, I tried Pad Thai. The product comes with a serving of rice noodles in a microwaveable plastic dish, along with a packet of oil, a packet of spices, and - gasp! - a fork. You cook the noodles quickly, in hot water, then add the contents of the packet. The portion is small - 250 calories - but tastes high quality, as rice noodles always do. The peanuts are fresh and crunchy - a delightful natural taste.
It's no restaurant Pad Thai, of course, but for a quick work snack, just fine. But as a noodle dish would, it lacks nutrition - just 2g of fiber and 3g of protein, yet 569mg of sodium and 53g of carbs.
