Yields: 1 serving

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Maggi Noodles: 1 packet

  • Vegetables:

    • Carrot: 1/2 medium, finely chopped

    • Cabbage: 1/4 cup, finely chopped (optional, for added texture and nutrients)

    • Tomato: 1 medium-sized, chopped

    • Onion: 1/2 medium, finely chopped

    • Capsicum (Bell Pepper): 1/4 cup, thinly sliced or in small pieces

  • Aromatics & Sauces:

    • Garlic: 1 teaspoon, finely chopped

    • Soy Sauce: 1 teaspoon

    • Tomato Sauce (Ketchup): 1 teaspoon

    • Maggi Masala (from the noodle packet): 1 packet

    • Chilli Sauce: To taste (optional, for extra heat)

  • Thickener:

    • Corn Flour: 1 teaspoon, mixed with 2 tablespoons of water (corn flour slurry)

  • Protein:

    • Egg: 1 large

  • Cooking Fat:

    • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon

  • Garnish:

    • Spring Onion: 1 tablespoon, finely chopped (for freshness and color)

Preparation Instructions:

  1. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables:

    • Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan or wok over medium heat.

    • Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

    • Add the chopped capsicum and finely chopped cabbage (if using). Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften slightly but still retain some crunch. Remember, vegetables are optional, but they add fantastic flavor and nutrients.

  2. Introduce Sauces and Spices:

    • Stir in the soy sauce, tomato sauce, and chilli sauce (if desired). Mix well to coat the vegetables.

    • Empty the entire packet of Maggi Masala into the pan. Stir continuously for about 30 seconds to allow the spices to bloom and release their aroma.

  3. Create the Broth Base:

    • Pour in approximately 1.5 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

    • Add the chopped tomato. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the tomato to soften and release its juices, contributing to the flavor of the broth.

  4. Thicken and Cook Noodles:

    • Once the broth is simmering, slowly pour in the corn flour slurry while stirring continuously. This will help to thicken the sauce slightly, giving it a richer consistency. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

    • Carefully break the Maggi noodle cake into the simmering broth. Gently push the noodles down to submerge them in the liquid.

    • Cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or according to the package instructions, until the noodles are tender but still have a slight bite. Stir occasionally to ensure even

  5. Final Touches:

    • Mix everything well to combine the noodles, vegetables, and egg with the flavorful sauce.

    • Transfer the cooked Maggi noodles to a serving bowl.

    • Garnish generously with finely chopped spring onion for a burst of fresh flavor and color.

    • Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade, elevated Maggi noodles!

Alternative for Maggi Masala (Homemade Spice Blend):


If you don't have Maggi Masala on hand or prefer a homemade blend, you can create a similar flavor profile using the following:

  • Chilli Powder: 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to your spice preference)

  • Coriander Powder: 1 teaspoon

  • Jeera (Cumin) Powder: 1/2 teaspoon

  • Chicken Masala: 1 teaspoon (or Garam Masala for a vegetarian option)

Combine these spices and add them to the pan at the same step where Maggi Masala would be added. This blend will provide a warm, aromatic base for your noodles.
