Instant noodles are a blessing when you’re nearing petsa de peligro, but it gets pretty boring when you have it almost every other meal. But sometimes, you’ve got no choice — there’s a reason it’s called petsa de peligro. So if you’re getting sick of just eating the same old thing, why not try these simple hacks to make your instant noodles a bit more exciting and fancy?

Disclaimer: If some of the recipe videos seen a bit complicated, just stick to the main additional ingredients.

 

Egg and bacon

You can never go wrong with a sunny side-up egg and bacon on top of your instant noodles. Prepare your noodles using a pan, and before removing it from the heat, poach an egg in it, then top it off with some fried bacon. Perfect for breakfast.

 


Kimchi

You can add a tangy, spicy twist to your usual instant noodles when you add a cup of kimchi — or two! — to your pot of ramen. It’s easy and quick — we just hope the Korean grocery store at the corner has some stock.

 

Sliced cheese

This is probably the most uncomplicated one. Cook your ramen the usual way, then top it off with some slices of cheese. Give it some time to melt, and voila! Cheesy noodles straight to your stomach.

 

Canned meat

Another easy hack. Just grab a can of sausage or Spam or whatever canned meat you have in your pantry, get it fried, and toss it into your noodles. Maybe even top it with an egg for an instantly more flavorful meal.

 

Frozen veggies

If you’re feeling a bit — or okay, a lot — guilty, you could try adding in some vegetables to counter all those MSG you’re about to consume. It’s not much, but some frozen veggies could assuage some of that guilt, so you could get your quick fix.

 

Stir fry

Got a lot of instant noodles on stock? Boil your noodles, then drain them. Then toss them in a pan together with some meat and veggies and the packed seasoning — maybe even an egg — and you’ve got a whole new leveled up dish.

 

Peanut butter and sriracha

Sounds weird, doesn’t it? But when you think about it and actually make it, it would make sense — because you’d get something close to a pad thai. Just mix some sriracha and peanut butter to your instant noodles to create the creamy base of the pad thai.

 

Butter and milk

This is another combination that might make you think twice. But if you want something creamy, this is the way to go. Follow the usual instructions on the packet — and just replace your usual boiling water with milk and add some butter!

 

Which hack have you tried? Got anything to recommend? Tell us below!
