Ingredients
- 2 packets instant noodles with seasoning sachets
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 small carrot, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 small capsicum, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- 2 cups water
Method
- Boil the water in a pot. Add the noodle cakes and cook for 2 minutes, then drain, keeping 2 tbsp of the cooking water.
- Heat the oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Fry the garlic for 15 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the carrot, cabbage and capsicum. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until just tender but still crunchy.
- Push the vegetables aside, crack in the eggs and scramble for 1 minute until fully set.
- Add the noodles, the seasoning sachets, soy sauce, pepper and the reserved water. Toss on high heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Top with spring onions and serve hot.
Good to know: Do not overcook the noodles in the water, as they keep softening in the pan. Taste before adding extra salt, since the sachets are salty.
