The noodles with a kick

Tom Yom Noodles

With hardly any time some days to think about lunch, one still wants something hot & healthy, with the cold still about in March. I have revisited quick and simple Noodles, not the Golden Wonder stuff, if you are thinking; I left that in my teens.

The KOKA ones, well one of them, the TOM YOM flavour and boy does it have a kick and if you know me, it needs to be tweaked for my liking. A recipe for two.

Ingredients                                       

2 packs Koka Tom Yom Noodles
1tbsp sunflower oil
1tbsp sesame oil
3 stalks spring onion, finely chopped
1 small carrot, grated
1 small piece ginger, finely grated
3 fresh red hot chillies finely chopped
½ tsp ground black pepper
700ml boiling water 



In a small pan heat up the oils in a medium heat, once hot throw in the spring onions, carrots, ginger, chillies and stir fry for 3 minutes.

Add in the noodles and then the boiling water, with a fork, gently break up the noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add in the contents of the sachets which have come inside the noodle pack, one side will be a blend of spices and the other will a be a chilli sauce and our extra bit of ground black pepper.

Cook for a further 3 minutes and serve hot.

Now that's what i call INSTANT!
