Gluten-free Oriental Cuisine

One of the biggest dilemmas in the diet of a person with coeliac condition is to know which ingredients from oriental cuisine are suitable for consumption. Are there gluten-free products available?

Nong Shim Noodles with PSY

In recent months we have learned about the recent agreement between Nissin and Pastas Gallo for the launch of Soba in Spain. A new line of instant noodles that joins Gallina Blanca’s Yatekomo. Oriental Market, as the leading importer of instant noodles in Spain, has been part of this process at all times, receiving the trust of the original Nissin brand and betting jointly on the introduction of this fashionable Asian recipe in the West. What’s new?
