    You do know you can buy the chicken powder separately, right? Like, you can get oxo cubes in the soup aisle. The filipina made ones from the asian store are better though.

      chicken powder separately

      Unfortunately, the ones around here aren’t all that great. Going by a ramen packet right now, it looks like this “Maruchan” version probably has more spices and dehydrated veggies than the straight chicken powder. Also, methinks the OXO cubes would be pretty hard to sprinkle over popcorn(!)

      That said, there’s all kinds of great popcorn toppings (store bought and homemade), so I don’t suspect it’s a big problem.

    • Wyler’s makes powdered boullion seasonings! They’re fantastic. The problem is that Wyler’s, and many other boullions, often inexplicably contain dairy and/or egg, for both of which we have an allergy in the household.

      The Maruchen Ramen Soy flavor (which used to be “Asian”) is actually vegetarian (IIRC - I’d double-check that), but most importantly for us is dairy and egg-free.
