Time for Oyatsu

Ramen is an amazing treat night or day but slurping up hot noodles isn’t always ideal for people who only have time for a quick snack. Straight from Japan, Baby Star Crispy Ramen Snack (Garlic Flavor) has revolutionized ramen on the go, with dried ramen noodles that have all the brothy flavor packed into the crunchy treat. The savory snack, produced by the aptly-named Oyatsu (afternoon snack), is also environmentally friendly, as it is made from the dust byproduct that’s created in the making of ramen. Although the noodles are tiny, they are not lacking in flavor, which garlic lovers will appreciate. Baby Star comes in a variety of other ramen flavors, including chicken, shrimp and tonkotsu.

A bag of Orion Potato Snack Spicy Crayfish crisps combines the best of all snack worlds. The spicy treat is made from potato flour, delivering the texture chip lovers crave, but puffed up into an airy snack that resembles a lighter rice or corn puff-style snack. The long, star-shaped chips look like pasta but don’t let the hollow insides fool you. They provide a satisfying crunch packed with a flavorful punch of spice and crayfish flavor.

If you’re looking for guilt-free indulgence, you’re going to want to buy several bags of the Shirakiku Black Oyster Mushroom Crisps. One serving—a 40-gram package—of this tasty snack has 160 calories and just two grams of fat while delivering a whopping six grams of fiber or 22% of your recommended daily intake. The crisps are created using a proprietary “low temperature, vacuum frying process” which reduces the absorption of oil—hence the 2 grams of fat—while keeping the snack crispy and maintaining the slightly earthy mushroom texture. A faint hint of salt and sugar makes this the perfect savory/sweet between-meals indulgence.

If you’re a fan of Asian snacks, you’ve likely seen seaweed crackers in the Asian food section of your local grocery store. But the crackers you usually see are typically made with puffed (baked or fried) rice flour. The tasty Wei Lih Good Good Eat (GGE) Seaweed Cracker, however, is a dense snack made from wheat flour. If you believe the only good thing about salads are the croutons, these snacks are perfect for you. The savory GGE Seaweed Cracker has a hint of salty seaweed (nori) flavor but is still mild enough to suit any palate. These crackers are ideal for snacking straight from the bag or you could use them to add a little crunch to your favorite salad or pasta dish. GGE crackers are available in a variety of other flavors, including original, soy sauce and hot chili flavor.
