French Cup Noodle Chicken Supremé Sauce with Truffle Flavor – Bringing a Taste of French Luxury to Cup Noodles
When I heard that Nissin was launching a “French-style” cup noodle series, I knew I had to try it! In July 2024, they released three flavors inspired by French cuisine: Omaru Shrimp Bisque, Chicken Supremé Sauce with Truffle Flavor, and Red Sea Bream and Scallop Provençal Bouillabaisse.
Today, I’m diving into the Chicken Supremé Sauce with Truffle Flavor. Just the name alone feels like something you’d order at a fine restaurant—but here I am, about to enjoy it from the comfort of home. Nissin is really stepping up their game!
Opening the Cup – No Mystery Meat This Time!?
Before adding hot water, I opened the lid and, to my surprise, found real chunks of chicken! Not only that, but there were also pieces of asparagus, carrots, and mushrooms. This cup noodle already looked different, like it was ready to elevate the usual cup noodle experience to a whole new level. There’s no real truffle in sight, of course, but the included “Special Truffle-Flavored Oil” holds a lot of promise for a fancy aroma. I have to admit, even though I’m not usually a fan of truffle, I was really looking forward to this one.
After Three Minutes – Time to Add the Truffle Oil!
After patiently waiting for three minutes, I opened the lid, poured in the truffle-flavored oil, and stirred it up. Instantly, the truffle aroma filled my kitchen, bringing with it a surprisingly luxurious feeling. The scent was subtle and beginner-friendly, making it easy for even truffle skeptics to enjoy. It made me feel like announcing to anyone nearby, “Today, we’re having a fancy lunch!”
The Flavor – Rich, Creamy, and Satisfying
The soup is creamy and rich, almost like a gourmet cream sauce, with just the right thickness to coat the noodles. The chicken flavor really shines, while the truffle adds a sophisticated twist without being overwhelming. When I first tried real truffle, I thought, “This is a little too much for me…” But here, it’s balanced perfectly and complements the soup’s depth. It’s so good that I might just consider myself a truffle convert.
The Ingredients – High-Quality Toppings, Almost Like Real French Cuisine
The toppings are surprisingly high quality. The asparagus has a nice crunch, the carrots add a hint of sweetness, and the mushrooms give a rich depth that blends beautifully with the soup. It’s on a different level compared to the typical cup noodle toppings. The chicken chunks, replacing the usual “mystery meat,” add a fantastic texture and elevate the whole experience.
A Bit of Nissin’s History and the Background of This Series
Now, a little background on Nissin. In 1958, Nissin invented the world’s first instant noodles, Chicken Ramen, and in 1971, they launched Cup Noodles, which became an international sensation. Since then, Nissin Cup Noodles have become a symbol of Japanese food culture loved around the world. The French Cup Noodle series embodies this history of tradition and innovation, capturing Nissin’s commitment to pushing boundaries.
