Popular Taiwanese dry noodle company A-Sha Foods has a history of doing very interesting and unexpected collaborations. And I should know, as I once spent a month reviewing all of their flavors, which included eating every single one of their Hello-Kitty-themed noodle packs. (Honestly, their Badtz-Maru sesame noodles were the best, and didn’t taste at all like penguin. Or at least, I hope not.)

For their latest collab, they’ve joined forces with Chef Andrew Zimmern, former host of the Travel Channel Show Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern, for a new line of Target-exclusive noodle packs.

What’s in the A-Sha Zimm’s Line Of Noodles?

The Zimm’s line features three different product lines:

Zimm’s Cheesy Noodles

Themed around cheese-focused comfort foods, this line has three different air-dried noodle bowls:

Cheesy Truffle Noodles: Features a truffle mushroom cream sauce mixed with cheddar cheese and a crispy onion topping. It also features 12 grams of protein.
Vermont Cheddar Noodles: This one has a creamy cheddar cheese sauce topped with aromatic scallions. It has 14 grams of protein.
Spicy Cacio E Pepe Noodles: Themed after the Italian dish (the name literally means “cheese and pepper”), this one features a cheddar cheese sauce blended with tomato powder and tonkatsu-flavors, topped with a coarse black pepper topping. It also has 13 grams of protein.

Air-Dried Noodle Soup Bowls

These soup bowls are patterned after classic Japanese Ramen flavors, but they’re also “vegan friendly,” with no animal products listed on the ingredients.

Roasted Garlic Chicken Noodle Soup: This one’s got a rich, garlic-y chicken-flavored broth that has 10 grams of plant-based protein.
Spicy Pork Noodle Soup: Flavored with soy sauce, tonkatsu sauce and radish powder, this one has 11 grams of plant-based protein.
Miso Noodle Soup: This one has a “creamy miso broth” flavored with soy sauce, rice miso and sesame oil, along with 12 grams of plant-based protein.

Peanut Butter Chili Crisp

Described as a “PB&C,” this “sweet heat” peanut butter also contains A-Sha’s Chili Crisp Drizzle and salted chili peppers, giving it a unique mix of chili heat and crunch. And while they recommend it for PB&J sandwiches, I think I’m going to have to try using them as a sauce the next time I make Satay-style chicken skewers.

Where Can I Get Them?

They’re currently available at Target, or you can also order them directly from the A-Sha website. And if you order $69 dollars or more of the Zimm’s noodles from A-Sha, you’ll get a 10 percent discount and they’ll also throw in a few A-Sha chopstick set. Although, those chopsticks are limited to the first hundred customers, so who knows how long they’ll last.
