Many students (and bachelors) the world over will appreciate the excellent deliciousness and easy-convenience provided by Instant/3-minute noodles.
At this time I refer to Asian-style instant-noodles, the Bachelors-brand ones here in the UK won't work for this, the flavouring that they use is too strong, and quite disgusting (in my opinion at least)
Start with some plain and ordinary chicken-flavour instant noodles like these:
Fill and initiate boiling of one (1) NATO-standard Mk.1 Kettle to use to cook your noodles:
While your Kettle is on the boil, get ready to cook your noodles by placing them in the bowl. i find that it is helpful to break the brick into quarters, and place the flavour-powder in the middle of the four pieces, like so:
At this point, while the kettle is still boiling, get your baggie of asian-style vegetables:
and place roughly a hand-and-a-half's worth of the mix on your chopping board like so:
Chop them roughly so that they're all reasonably small, but not tiny. we want chunks, not paste
At this point, your kettle has probably boiled. good, pour the boiling water onto the noodles to initiate the cooking process:
Now grab about this much pre-cooked, pre-sliced plain chicken. you can use flavoured, but plain helps blend in with the flavour of the noodle-soup
Finish slicing it into small-ish chunks like so:
At this point, the three minutes that it takes for the noodles to cook should have elapsed. if so, good slide your chopped vegetables and chicken into the noodle-soup:
at this point, drizzle a very small amount of Thai-Sweet-Chilli sauce onto the noodles like so. not too much though, or you'll overwhelm the balance of flavours and it'll taste crap
At this point, the soup will have cooled slightly. mix gently and place the bowl in your microwave for about 20 seconds but no more than 30!
Use this time to get dessert if you like, as i have done:
Your Microwave should now have finished, and your finished product should look something like this:
Enjoy your meal!
Elapsed time should be less than ten minutes, probably closer to seven, depending on how long it takes your kettle to boil.
Please, no comments as to the filthyness of my kitchen, this is a student house and the kitchen is cleaned regularly, but gets dirty in seconds.
you also have my apologies about the lousy quality of the photos, my DSLR is in london and the quality of my compact is abominable.
