Do you hanker after Pot Noodle but deny yourself because you know they're full of things you shouldn't really be eating?
Here's a solution, a homemade pot noodle that's only a little bit dirty.
I don't think these should be made precisely so I'm going to give you a guide rather than exact measurements.
You will need:
- A pot of sorts with a lid, I use Kilner 500ml pots
- Ramen noodles
- Cooked meat - I use chicken
- Any old veg chopped up small - think red pepper, spring onion, peas and sweetcorn from the freezer, beans (green or otherwise)
- Flavourings. I add a smidgen of the following: light soy sauce, Thai chilli sauce, fish sauce, rice wine
- Some leafy green stuff - I've used spinach and kale and preferred the former
If you can, prep in advance and store in the fridge. Ideally, if you've used any frozen veg, you want it to have defrosted when you add the boiling water. If you are preparing just before eating then ensure frozen veg is cooked.
In the bottom of the pot place half a pack of ramen noodles. These are the ones I used: chicken flavour. There are plenty of similar products and they often contain a packet of powder and sachet of oil. Open these and sprinkle/drizzle half of these over noodles.
- Add meat so that there's a rough layer on top of the noodles.
- Add veg.
- Add whatever flavourings you fancy - don't overdo it.
- Add leafy green stuff until your pot is bursting.
- Store in the fridge until required.
- Five minutes before serving, add boiling water to near the top of the pot.
- Seal the pot and leave for five mins
- Turn pot upside down a few times to mix all the flavours
- Serve in the pot or, if you're feeling a little more sophisticated, in a bowl
