how do you like to spice up instant noodles

I use the little spice packet that comes in the container.

I like to dunk the noodles in some ice cold water once they're done cooking to make them al dente

butter + cayenne

when in doubt add more

I follow a boiled frozen veg recipe. First i put a dallop of olive oil, celery, onions and a bay leave in, then when the water boils the frozen veg. When its nearly fully cooked I through in the noodles. When the noodles are a minute a way from done I crack a raw egg in and blk pepper/crushed red. Once its done i dump a handful of baby spinach in half the ramen seasoning packet and a few dashes of Tobasco.

Slice up a few red radishes and boil them. It adds a little flavor to the broth. Then slice up the leaves and toss them in at the end.

broccoli and carrots

Saucepan: equal amounts of soy sauce and rice wine, heat til boiling, dump in cayenne or whatever's hot, stir for a couple of minutes. That's your spicy base. Then mix whatever amount of hot water from your boiling noodles, or add water and heat up again when you're adding spice.

If you get good at timing and rinse the noddles ahead of time (after letting them sit in cold water), you can add the noodles with during the cayenne and water stage. If they're rice noodles, it won't take long.

Also, instead of spice, add sugar and stir while adding some water* to get teriyaki sauce. *how much depends on how thick you want it.

last time my wife made beef soup

we froze the left-over broth in baggies

use the broth instead of water and don't bother with the weaksauce sauce packet that came with ur nootle
