If you are going to have instant noodles, pimp it up. This is my pimped up version using pantry and easy ingredients you can pick up cheaply from the supermarket. It is a good way to use up leftovers too, that limp lettuce or last night’s takeaway! Try to balance it with vegetables or protein and contrasting textures. Enjoy!
