Oh joy, oh bliss – Nongshim has released an upgraded version of their classic Chapaghetti (see for comparison 3.266 Chapaghetti).

Whereas my deluxification typically involves ground pork + minced onion + sliced scallion, sometimes diced zucchini if available (see for example 15.185 Chapaghetti Deluxe), I added minced shiitake to primo it up.

Not sure what makes it different, other than the dehydrated bits of meat, which are larger and look more like actual meat, in contrast to the petrified rabbit shit pellets in the standard package.

The mushrooms did it.  Boosting meatiness in every bite, both in texture and flavor.  Good on me.

Otherwise, the product tasted the same.
