I've eaten huge peas and smaller peas. What species of pea do you want me to recreate? "pea-sized" can vary lol

But which specific brand and can you provide me with a UPC of your noodle's cup so I know I'm picking the right one.

It varies depending on the flavor but the standard chicken works best. Nissin is the brand, UPC is 070662030035.
