What can I do with packet noodles
The convenience of packet noodles is that you can rip them open, add the packet seasoning, hot water and you are done.
I find however, as much as I LOVE NOODLES, I need more stuff in my bowl to tick all of my boxes.
So I discard the packet seasoning and pimp my noodle bowl to balance out the food groups also.
What to add to plain noodles
There are SO many ways to add flavour and texture to plain noodles.
Here are a few simple ideas (add these ingredients)

Notes
- Note 1 The type of noodles that work best for this recipe are the quick to cook style. Discard the packet seasoning and use the dried noodles.
- Note 2 We use approx ½ 1 chorizo sausage per person.
- Note 3 Save time and purchase diced bacon (no need to chop, add straight to wok).
- Note 4 Serving size is for 1 egg per person (fried, runny yolk)
- Note 5 The bacon and chorizo have a salty taste, so it is fine to omit the additional salt if you don't want it in the dish.
- Note 6 Spinach or Rocket (arugula) leaves are easy as there is no prep work. Choose your favourite. Spinach is mild whereas rocket has a peppery taste.
- Note 7 An Australian tablespoon is 20ml, an American one is 14.8ml. If you are using an American tablespoon use 1 and ⅓ of each for the sauce.
- Note 8 If you are new to using sriracha then use it sparingly as it is hot!! Add a little, then taste, then a little more etc. When drizzling, be really refined, a couple of drops, squirt is perfect, too much and it will ruin the other flavours in the dish!!
- Note 9 each of the chorizo, garlic and shallots are added at different time in the recipe instructions. Keep them separate on the chopping board or use 2 so you can add them at the different times.

A great man once said, if you want to make any dish better, crack an egg on it. This looks just legendary, my mouth is watering!

Thanks Jaimie! I haven't heard that before, but yes I agree! Noods with egg are the best. Cheers
