Noodle Box

Noodle Box are excited to announce that the winners of the Noodle Box Gourmet Chef Challenge is Sing Ling Lim (QLD) and James Barnes (QLD). Both winners have won $5,000 in cold hard cash and a brand new cooking set, which is sure to get Sing and James creating more gourmet recipes.

Since Noodle Box has gone all gourmet, Noodle Box wanted budding chefs to get in on the action. Literally. So customers were invited to create a meal incorporating Noodles, Protein (meat, poultry, seafood etc), Veggies (1 or more) and Sauce, and a dish that is tasty enough, fresh enough and Asian enough to be sold as a Box or Side at any Noodle Box store.

Sing outdid other gourmet chefs by receiving a whopping 195 Noodle likes for a tantalising Char Siew Wonton Mee dish, that included delicious Won Tons, Noodles, Asian Veg and sauce. When it came to the dish voted the best by the Noodle Box team, it was a landslide win for James' Burnt chilli, pork belly, lime & coriander noodles. The competition was fierce with tasty entries such as Wok Tossed Chicken and Crisp, fresh Veggies and Ginger Chicken and Coriander Stir-fry.

Another big Noodle congratulations to Sing Ling Lim and James Barnes.

2010 MasterChef winner, Adam Liaw, helped the Noodle Box team launch their new range of Gourmet Meals at an exclusive private party at Noodle Box Chadstone on Wednesday 6th of July.

The 150+ guests to attend including media, celebrities, Noodle Box Franchisees and suppliers all had the opportunity to sample the new meals prepared and interact with the MasterChef marvel himself.

Check out the video from the party here.

Noodle Box is going gourmet with an exciting selection of recipes developed by Adam Liaw, the 2010 MasterChef winner. July 2011 will see the national launch of the Gourmet Range which includes four new dishes:

• Aromatic Black Duck Noodles
• Malaysian Beef Rendang
• Prawn and Calamari Sambal
• Side of Dragon Wings (Adam's Dragon Wings)

Using premium, hand-picked ingredients, many of which are new to the Noodle Box menu, Adam has created sophisticated and flavour rich dishes that taste amazing without costing like it.

"When Noodle Box approached me to design the dishes for the gourmet range, I was immediately excited. I love what Noodle Box brings to their customers. It's fresh, high quality ingredients cooked simply by professional chefs with years of experience - and that's what cooking is all about to me", said Adam.

Working closely with Noodle Box Head Chef and team to design the gourmet range was fundamental to Adam's decision to work with Noodle Box. "I'm not trying to make the gourmet range fine dining; it's about exposing people to food that they may not have otherwise tried. There is going to be someone new everyday that is going to try duck for the first time because we've put it on the menu" said Adam.

Dedicated and passionate, when Adam Liaw decided to put his cooking skills to the test in the 2010 season of MasterChef, it didn't take long for him to rise to the top of a talented pack. Consistently wowing the judges with his fragrant, flavoursome and contemporary Asian influenced dishes, Adam triumphantly won the competition.

Co-owner David Milne aims to appeal to a new customer-base, with the specialty boxes including premium ingredients, many of which are new to the Noodle Box menu. "Adam was an easy choice for us when researching chefs to develop the recipes. He is extremely talented in Asian-inspired cooking and is closely aligned with our target audience".
