Introduction to Fire Noodles:
Nothing makes a Desi kid more nostalgic than a bowl of maggi. While traditionally it’s simply made with the spice packet that comes along with it and some veggies, I created this super-spicy elevated version that I know you’ll love. You’ll never want to eat maggi the regular way again!
Keys to Success:
PRO TIP: When it comes to this dish, and cooking in general, it’s important to prep all of your ingredients beforehand. This will make your life so much easier during the cooking process, especially since this is such a quick dish to make. Since you’ll be tossing in one ingredient after another, having everything prepped is essential.
PRO TIP: Don’t overcook your noodles! Maggi doesn’t need a lot of water to cook. Plus, keep in mind that the sauces are adding extra moisture into this dish as well. I don’t really measure when I add in my water but it’s typically somewhere around 1/3 of a cup. Make sure not too add too much water. Since the longer it takes for the water to absorb, the more mushy the noodles will become.
Additional Toppings + Variations:
Feel free to add in your favorite veggies to this dish. Staples for me are adding in corn, peas, and cabbage. I pretty much can’t eat maggi without them! For added protein, tofu is a great option as well. I recommend using baked extra firm tofu.
Also, you can adjust these ingredients in the sauce as necessary to your taste. I know some people may be skeptical to add ketchup in, but it adds the perfect touch of sweetness to balance the spice in this dish. However, feel free to add 1-2 tbsp instead of 3 if you don’t like your noodles too taste too tomato-y.
