You can cook instant noodles, skip the flavouring pack, pour dark soy sauce over it (I like the Tong Foong Sauce Factory's one - very thick, rich and not too saltish).
Then, fry an omelette to go. If you're feeling diligent, fry some onions first before pouring in the beaten egg.
Simple, but nice!! -
throw away the soup-powder stuff
into a plate, add whatever the heck sauce you can find in the pantry, e.g. a touch of oyster sauce, some ketchup, some chilli sauce.. add way too much black vinegar.. a couple of drops of sesame oil, some bawang goreng...
boil noodles and drain, throw into the mess you made in the plate, mix...
make soup with whatever the heck other stuff you have

It's still faster than cooking normal mee wor...Originally posted by hisoka:looks good but if you do that then its like cooking normal mee mah not really instant noodles le
Everything's microwaved.
I poured 'enough' water into my microwaveable container, cooked it on High for 2 mins to make it hot, rinsed and dumped my dou miao inside, then cooked it again on High for another 1-2 mins, together with my Abalone mushrooms.
Next, remove the vegetables into your bowl BUT don't discard the water! Use it to boil your Lobster balls on High for 1.5mins. Next, put in your instant Mee Sua and cook for another 1.5 mins on High. Remove from microwave, pour in your seasonings, and voila! -
I love instant noodles... you guys are making me hungry

Sounds like the gastronomical version of a Molotov cocktail! -
i hate instant noodles.. only eat them when i don't have a choice
i think living abroad as a poor student kinda killed any liking for it -
Oh! In that case, have you tried the Korean Ramen, Spicy Mushroom flavour? Veeeery spicy, very nice!!Originally posted by mistyblue:I love instant noodles... you guys are making me hungry
I would usually open a can of 'Chao San Si' (Stir Fried Bamboo Shoots with Spicy Pork) to go with it.
How about Koka's new noodles? The Curry, Black Pepper, Satay Chicken and Singapore Noodles flavours are very nice too! -
if you notice, this is exactly what is used in the dry fishball noodles you eat at the hawker centres
only thing is, it's too much trouble to render some lard into oil.. so you add a few drops of sesame seed oil...Originally posted by Rhonda:

Eh... their chilli sauce is more 'special' than your bottled chilli sauce.Originally posted by the Bear:if you notice, this is exactly what is used in the dry fishball noodles you eat at the hawker centres

Also, oyster sauce?? Don't think they use that in the fishball noodles. -

well, it's a close facsimile
as for oyster sauce, just call it a mixture into the chilli sauce that makes it specialOriginally posted by Rhonda:Eh... their chilli sauce is more 'special' than your bottled chilli sauce.

Wah! Not good to eat instant noodles THAT often!!Originally posted by Fatum:nearing exam time i often survive on 3 packets of instants noodles a day for my three meals ..... spicy mushroom, kimchi, spicy seafood ... i tried them all .... bought them in boxes ....... now i have a serious hairloss problem ....
I have them only once a fortnight, sometimes, once in two months!
And then, there are the rare occasions when I'd have them 3-4 times a week. But that's really rare! -
drink lots of water.. eat your meats and don't stress... hair will grow back...Originally posted by Fatum:nearing exam time i often survive on 3 packets of instants noodles a day for my three meals ..... spicy mushroom, kimchi, spicy seafood ... i tried them all .... bought them in boxes ....... now i have a serious hairloss problem .... -

Everything in moderation, is ok. Why, even 'good' stuff, in excess, can kill!Originally posted by coffeeortea:wow.. how can you guys survive a whole day with instant noodles!?!?!?! haha, i cant that stuff now =(, if you're talking about how oyster sauce is not healthy.. haha, the noodles also not very healthy lehh.. and plus.. microwaving food is not very good.. -
Mostly instant foods are not really healthy.
One time I heated up my noodles and then pour off the hot water... and pour in the cold water...
I saw a layer of oil/wax surfaced... but I just like the noodles too much... -
Actually that's how I eat my instant noodles too though I leave up the chilli sauce and yes I use WAY too much black vinegarOriginally posted by Rhonda:
Sounds like the gastronomical version of a Molotov cocktail!
Or I actually toss the noodles in butter, salt, pepper and basil leaves
Or with soup I usually just use the flavoring and pour in a generous amount of hua tiao wine
My cousin has the most innovative method of eating instant noodles. She eats it with peanut butter
