Welcome! Today we'll learn how to cook instant noodles properly. Instant noodles are one of the most popular quick meals worldwide. With just a few simple steps, you can prepare a delicious and satisfying meal in minutes.
Step one is to boil water. Start by measuring the recommended amount of water, usually around 500 to 600 milliliters as indicated on the noodle package. Pour the water into a pot and place it on the stove. Turn the heat to medium-high and wait for the water to reach a rolling boil. You'll know it's ready when you see bubbles actively forming and rising to the surface.
Step two is adding the noodles and seasoning. Once your water is at a rolling boil, carefully drop the noodle block into the pot. Next, add all the seasoning packets that came with your noodles - this usually includes flavor powder, oil, and sometimes dried vegetables. Use a spoon or chopsticks to gently stir the mixture, ensuring the seasoning dissolves and distributes evenly throughout the water.
Step three is cooking the noodles for the proper amount of time. Most instant noodles require 2 to 3 minutes of cooking time, but always check the package instructions for the exact timing. During this time, stir the noodles occasionally with a spoon or chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together and to ensure they cook evenly. You'll notice the noodles gradually soften and separate as they cook.
The final step is serving your noodles. Carefully pour the hot noodles and soup from the pot into a serving bowl. Be cautious as the contents will be very hot. Let the noodles cool for a moment before eating. You can use chopsticks, a fork, or a spoon to enjoy your meal. Your delicious instant noodles are now ready to eat! Remember to blow on hot noodles before taking a bite to avoid burning your tongue.
