Trader Joe’sis an endless source ofexciting new foodsto covet.

Case in point: TJ’s Squiggly Knife Cut Style Noodles.

Customers have been fawning over the Taiwanese-style air-dried noodles ever since they arrived in stores last month.

I soon understood all the fuss.

The squiggly noodles are cheap: just $4.99 for pack of four servings.

They’re super quick to make: ready in under five minutes.

And they’re especially delicious with just a dollop of chili crisp swirled into the mix.

Trouble is, I haven’t been able to find another package ever since.

Each time I returned to Trader Joe’s the noodles were all gone.

The item had already generated a couple of bids.
