Don&#8217;t add the MSG, cook it and remove the stock so that you remove the oil from the noodles, and add vegetables. That&#8217;s what I did here, following a very old recipe of instant noodles that I keep at home like a treasure. It&#8217;s simple, delicious, and it has some nice crunch to it from the capsicums. You can use a red and green capsicum together to make the dish look even more palatable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Koka noodles: 2 packets<\/li>\n<li>Oil: 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Garlic: 3 cloves: finely chopped<\/li>\n<li>White onion: \u00bd, finely chopped<\/li>\n<li>Capsicum: \u00bd, cut into cubes<\/li>\n<li>Enoki mushroom: 150g, halved and well-separated<\/li>\n<li>Beansprout: 100g<\/li>\n<li>Fish sauce: 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Chilli sauce: 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Salt: \u00bd tsp<\/li>\n<li>White pepper: \u00bd tsp<\/li>\n<li>Spring onion: 1 stalk, finely chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Method<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cook noodles in water.
