Nadiya Instant Noodle Recipes

PERFECT INSTANT RAMEN

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a small pot. Open the ramen package and add the noodles to the water. Cook the noodles for 2 minutes, then add the flavor pack.
• About 30 seconds before the noodles are done, turn off the heat and crack in the egg-but don't mix it in. Just pull the hot noodles gently over the raw egg and let it sit for a minute to poach.
• Now get a bowl and gently pour everything slowly into it, being careful to not disrupt the egg.
• Add the butter, cheese, and sesame seeds to the bowl. Mix it all around. Garnish with the scallion if you have it.
• Eggy, cheesy goodness. Grilled cheese what?

NADIYA HUSSAIN'S INSTANT NOODLES

Steps:

• To make the spice paste, blitz the onions and garlic until pulsed but not a smooth paste. Put the oil into a pan on a medium heat. When it's hot, add the onions and garlic and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the onions are brown. Now add the vinegar, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and chilli paste, and cook until the mixture is a thick paste with no liquid. This should take about 20 minutes on a medium to low heat. When the spice paste is cooked and cooled, put it into a jar - it should keep in the fridge for 2 months. Now to make the noodles. Put a tablespoon of the spice paste into a 500ml jar, along with your portion of noodles and all the other bits. Leave it in the fridge, and when you are ready to eat, pour 300ml of boiling water into the jar and pop the lid on. I like my noodles brothy, but if you like a drier noodle, just add less water. These are great for home but also perfect for taking to work.
