Those of you who’ve long wanted your burgers to feature ramen noodles are in luck.

White Castle, the Columbus, Ohio-based fast-food chain, on Wednesday revealed a line of Asian-inspired versions of its sliders. The sandwiches will be released on National Noodle Day Thursday.

The sliders include Maruchan Ramen Sliders, which uses a Classic Cheese Slider with Beef Flavor Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup, sliced green onions and hard-boiled eggs with an option to add sriracha.

The Pork Belly Chicken Sliders feature a Chicken Slider with pork belly and red onions. The Banh Mi Sliders feature a Jalapeno Cheese Slider with carrots, daikon radish, cucumber and sriracha mayo.

“The ingredients are simple and accessible but will produce results that will have your family asking them to be added to the snack and meal rotation,” Jamie Richardson, VP at White Castle, said in a statement.

The sliders will be available at local White Castle locations and in the frozen food sections of grocers.

White Castle operates more than 340 locations in the U.S., almost all of them corporate units. It generated $661 million in system sales last year, according to data from Restaurant Business sister company Technomic.

All restaurants are pricey in California, not just fast food

The Bottom Line: The state’s fast-food wage hasn’t driven up prices at limited-service restaurants, at least compared with full-service chains. That doesn’t mean it’s not expensive there.

Is the takeout revolution over?

The Bottom Line: Starbucks and McDonald’s are struggling while full-service restaurants like Chili’s and Olive Garden are thriving. Consumers may be rediscovering their love of hospitality.
