The noodles: They are primarily made from wheat flour, palm oil, and tapioca starch. They are supplemented with table salt, flavor enhancers such as monosodium glutamate (E621 and E635), potassium chloride, acidity regulators (E501, E500, E451), garlic powder, egg white powder, a natural thickener (guar gum E412), egg yolk powder, emulsifier (soy lecithin E322), colorings (carotenes E160a, riboflavin E101), and antioxidants to preserve freshness (E307b, E304).

It contains salt, flavor enhancers (E621, E635), yeast extract, whole milk powder, artificial and natural pork and chicken flavorings, and a non-dairy creamer composed of glucose syrup, hydrogenated palm oil, milk protein, emulsifier E471, and anti-caking agent E551.

The dehydrated condiments: Like its sister variants, this package includes a mixture of dehydrated vegetables such as sweet corn, carrots, and finely chopped chives. Of particular note are the small dehydrated fish cakes (kamaboko) that bear the molded silhouette of Hello Kitty's face (made from pollack or cod fish, potato starch, and squid extracts).
