    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!

    That's what we get...I buy a box of 35 for $10 from our local asian grocer! So delicious and to make a meal out of them I cook some meat (whatever I have in the freezer) and a few veg (whatever I have in the fridge!!) with the seasoning...oh yum and so quick! It's one of my can't be bother cooking meals!
