    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)

    • cooked pork
    • left over chicken
    • freshly cooked shrimp
    • a handful of cashews
    • some unsalted peanuts
    • healthy greens (broccoli or broccolini)
    • chicken broth
    • poached chicken
    • boiled egg
    • sesame seeds

    Even a handful of green onions lightly cooked in a little peanut oil will take instant ramen noodles to the next level! 

    Ingredients

    The ingredients for this recipe are simple and easy to find at the local shops. They are set out in the photo below so you can see exactly what you need:

    • Followed by spinach leaves (Photo 14)
    • Use kitchen tongs to stir and combine (Photo 15)
    • Fry 1 egg per person (Photo 16)

    It is simply delightful to sit with a bowl of these noodles and take your fork or chopsticks and pierce the runny egg yolk!

    It will only take 3-4 mins for each egg to cook. The white should be fully white (not clear anymore) and the yolk super soft still (don't flip).

    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!
