What do you do with your 2 minute noodles?

[Frangipani]

Over the last few days I've been craving 2 minute noodles (umm..last time this happened I was pregnant - but this is unlikely).

I know some people add all kinda things to be creative with them...I never had previously, but if this craving keeps up, I'd like to be able to vary it a little so I don't get sick of them and so I can get some nutrients out of it.

So was just wondering what some of you do?

Thanks in advance

I add tasty cheese and tomato sauce to chicken maggie noodles - YUM

[ubba82]

A friend of mine adds marg or butter after they are cooked and drained so they dont stick together. Also gives them some flavour.

My kids both LOVE tomato sauce on them.

Not very nutritious I know!

You could always make up a quick stir fry?

My sister's ex used to do an awesome omelette with cooked noodles, green onions and mized frozen vegies. He flipped it straight out of the pan too.

I mix them with a bit of tuna and sometimes some creamed corn.

We get the ones that come with dehydrated veggies, and then add cheese and sauce. You could always add some fresh veggies or some pasta sauce.

DH is a fan of the beef flavoured noodles with tasty cheese and BBQ sauce.
The omlette that snugglybean mentioned sounds like a good idea to make them a bit more interesting.

I never put stuff on them - ew, sorry guys but cheese and sauce is enough to turn my stomach!

But we do use them in soups, stir frys and chow mein.

drain the juice and add grated cheese and mix!

I make an asian style soup with mine. Add some bok choy chopped up to the cold water, and the chicken seasoning along with a splash of maggi seasoning. Then at the very end I stir in a lightly whisked egg. Its very very good

I cook them with peas, then put chopped ham thru them and grated cheese over the top. YUM.

I dont like all the numbers in the flavouring so if i use it at all, i put it in while its still boiling and drain off the water- bit of flavour still, but not full on.

when i do them for my hubby and DS i usually mix it through with a sauce of some sort

Ok girlies...this is a cheap, nasty and heart-stopping 2-minute noodle special that I feel compelled to share. Truth be told I have not had it since my uni days 11 years ago, but as I recall it sure beat the normal, bland, just-add-the-sachet solution. I invented it all by myself

Step 1: Get a small bag of cheese and onion chips and crush the bag so that all the chippies are broken up.

Step 1: Boil your noodles, add you sachet and transfer to bowl.

Step 3: Add a knob of butter

Step 4: Pour entire contents of crushed chip bag onto nooodles

Step 5: Top with a whole lot of tasty cheese and microwave until cheese is melted onto chips

Step 6: Apologise to your heart and make sure you have the ambulance on speed-dial

hahahaha Sambo. I love that you invented it yourself!

We use 2 minute noodles a lot as we are cooking for 7 people in this house. We get the no name brand bulk pack, which is $1.09 for 5 packs. It is definitely a cheap alternative to pasta or rice, and they go far.

I serve them lightly friend with vegies topped with a sauce (soy, kecap manis, sweet chilli etc). I also serve them in casseroles to bulk it up as long as the casserole has a thick base.
And I mainly use them in stirfries which we cook a lot of.

I have used them in omelettes, quiches as well. I can't live without them!

We used to mix our 2 min noodles with baked beans when we went camping... YUMMO!!

How on earth did you come up with this invention? I'd never had thought to add a bag of crushed chips. Was it a drunken moment , or are you a regular mixer of odd flavours (I am...love sweet with savoury).
