Most of us are addicted to all sort of Instant Noodles like Cup Noodles, Bowl Noodles and Packet Noodles. While these instant noodles may not be the healthiest option, it sure makes up a quick lunch, dinner or snack. I make instant noodles only when I have nothing else in my pantry. My husband somehow hates most of the instant varieties. So I usually add a few veggies and an egg to it.
Instant Noodles with Vegetables and Egg
Here is a quick recipe for Instant Noodles with Veggies and Egg.
