Notes
- Note 1 I use 5 packets of 72 gram instant (2 minute) noodles. You can use your favourite noodles. We don't use the seasoning or packet of dried ingredients, rather, just the noodles.
- Note 2 I don't recommend using minced garlic. It is all squishy and you loose the 'garlic texture'. For this dish, it is worth it to take the extra couple of mins, a sharp knife and finely slice your garlic!
- Note 3 You can either add the shallots (green onions) in the final few moments of the cook time for the garlic and chilli or raw at the end as garnish. Some people won't like the taste of raw green onions (shallots) as it can be bitter and harsh. Cooking the onions for a couple of mins will take away this sharpness.
