10 Minute Instant Noodles

This instant noodle hack (which is vegan friendly) will become your new go-to on those nights where you want a delicious and quick recipe that takes less than 10 minutes to make. This recipe is made with and instant ramen noodle pack mixed with a few key ingredients to give it loads of flavour, making this a tasty hack to turn instant noodles into something bougie.

What’s in the recipe?

Instant Noodles- I used a vegan friendly instant pack of ramen noodles, the ones that you just add boiling water and add the flavour packet. You can use whatever noodles you have to hand, but I find ramen noodles work brilliantly with the flavours of ginger and garlic.

Ginger- I love grating ginger into the recipe, it adds lots of zing, flavour and subtle heat.

Garlic- You can use garlic powder or fresh garlic to this recipe, whatever you have at hand. If you use fresh garlic, mince it to make it quicker to cook and to make sure there’s no large garlic chunks in the noodles.

Tenderstem- I love tenderstem as it has a lovely crunch however you can use broccoli florets or sugar snap peas.
