Using instant noodles





Hong Kong stir-fry noodle dishes mostly use egg noodles but my version is using instant noodles. This is common at the hawker stalls in Singapore whereby you select your own ingredients (e.g. veggies etc) to pair with these noodles. The main ingredients of dried instant noodle or precooked noodle block are wheat flour, palm oil, and salt. Thus, it is not very healthy and not advisable to eat often, please eat sparingly. This dish is so easy to make yet delicious!
