Real instant noodles.

Epoch · 8th September 2001, 8:14 PM

Real two minute noodles.

Notes: Take any packs of those crappy Maggi noodles you have and burn them before doing this. You'll thank me later. Go to the supermarket and pick up some asian style ones - the best are by Indomie, and have at least a dry flavouring sachet and an "oil" sachet. They're also a lot cheaper than Maggi noodles. 25 packs will be around $10.

Ingredients:

Instant noodles, as described above.
Cold water. Filtered, if possible.

Equipment:

A small saucepan, no lid needed.
Bowl to put the noodles in.
Fork, for stirring the noodles, eating them, and mixing the flavourings.
Teaspoon, for scraping out the oil sachet (and any others).
Scissors or a knife, for opening the flavourings. If you think you can do it with your teeth, great.

Directions:

Small pot, with just enough water in to cover the noodles. Set to boil.
Rinse the noodle block under hot water for at least a minute to get rid of any starch clinging to them.
Dump all the flavouring sachets into the bowl, except any packets of fried onion. Add any packs of dried chilli or chilli sauce sparingly. These sauces are pure burning evil. Be warned. Mix everything together with the fork.
When the water is boiling, drop the noodle cake in. Don't break it up if you can possibly help it.
The noodles are done when you can hook one with the fork and cut through it easily on the side of the saucepan.
Drain the noodles if you're making mie goreng (important!), otherwise don't.
Using the fork, put the noodles into the bowl on top of the flavourings.
Pour most of the water in. You probably won't need it all. Stir.
Enjoy your non-sucky noodle dish.

Drink: Instant miso is nice, if you can find it.

Damn I'm gonna have to try that one!! I love noodles!

Something else to try, if you're in an experimenting kinda mood:

One pack of Indomie shrimp noodles (prepared as per above) Start the water boiling, crack an egg open and seperate the white out of it. Throw your noodles in, then about 30 seconds later drizzle in the egg white. Stir like hell and pour into a bowl when the noodles are soft. Eat... carefully.

Gotta say Mi gorengs are amazing.

My g/f put me on them a while ago and i haven't looked back. (she eats mi gorengs with soup - gah!)

It might be a good idea to break the hard noodle cakes in half before putting them in the water, this will make eating it faster and easier

Also if you daring enough and can take chilli - or think you can, try some of the Korean instant noodles

Some of those are amazingly good

Mi goreng? Instant noodles.
"Mi goreng" is a product of Indonesia.
I think "Mi' is Noodles and "goreng" is fried. But you actually boil the noodles and drain out the water.

You can find it at any good Asian stores. Around 30c a packet, or if you buy in box, it probably under $8 for 30 packets.

Epoch:
Filtered water ? You must be kidding? After you boil the water, it won't be any diff with tap water.

Throw in some chopped lectuce, tomatoes as well - you must eat some green stuff like your mum told you

I prefer some chopped spring onion for extra flavour.

There are probably 20 different flavours of instant noodles at the Asian stores. Most of the Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese noodles are good (because plenty of MSG?) . Stay away from the Janpanese flavour - they all have a bland taste. My other favourite (after mi goreng) is Onion flavour noodles.

I'm spoilt.

We've got one of those Aqua Vital water cooler thingies here, so that's what I use to make noodles with.

Oh, and a new variation: My sister made a pot of chicken noodle soup, so I decided to use a 50/50 mix of the liquid from the soup and water. Obviously you'd only want to use this for chicken flavoured stuff, but it's damn tasty.

The japanese buckwheat miso noodles are pretty bland, but they're about fifty times as filling as the regular wheat/rice ones.

If you want a feed and like spicy shit you can turn Maggi 2 Minute noodles into a feed.

Instructions:

Cook noodles as per directions
Open some TOM YUM tuna and thro it in
teaspoon of butter (dunno why but it tasted good)

stir it all up and eat. Its okay wen your outta meat pies

Aye bam up the flavoring and it geos a long way to making things uber nice

I went through a noodles in a cup stage when i was working late night shifts at work and nothing was open. id eat two cups of some misc fat free noodles, very average noodles i gotta say, but i bammed them up with a fistful of white pepper and they became POWER NOODLES

but yeah, the second cup of noodles id just use the reamining water from the first one and bam up with some hot water to fill the cup, tasted soo uber nice

You guys should try the Malaysian Maggi noodles as opposed to the Aussie ones. Diff is like heaven and earth. Tho gettin it past customs is another matter.
