Ingredients
- Indomie noodles
- Fresh pepper and onions
- Eggs
- Vegetable oil
Preparation
- Parboil the noodles. I’ll be using superpack indomie noodles, I usually cook two packs for myself. So start by boiling some water in a pot, when the water comes to a roaring boil, add the noodles and allow to cook for about five minutes. This is the recommended cooking time on the noodles packaging.
- When the noodles are cooked to al dente, strain and place back into the pot.
- Fry your egg sauce. In another pot or frying pan, add some vegetable oil and fry your onions and chopped fresh pepper. You can add in some fresh tomatoes and even other vegetables like carrots, green beans and green pepper if you are feeling a bit fancy. But i like to keep it simple and quick.
- Fry the onions and pepper until they become fragrant, i like to add a pinch of seasoning cube, garlic and ginger powder, alongside curry and thyme just for a lil razzle dazzle of flavor. Allow everything to incorporate into each other before introducing the eggs.
- Add your beaten raw eggs with a pinch of salt. For the two packs of superpack indomie noodles i fry two eggs. You can make do with one or increase the number of eggs according to your taste and wallet.
- Once the eggs are fully cooked and well mixed in with the pepper sauce, add it to your cooked noodles and mix thoroughly. Place your delicious looking Nigerian noodles on the stovetop and allow to cook for about two minutes so that everything can mix properly and your noodles are ready to be served.
