Instructions

1. Boil Water

   Add 2.5 cups of water to a large pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

   Time: PT3M

2. Cook Noodles 70%

   Add the two Maggi noodle blocks to the boiling water. Cook for about 1 minute, just until the noodles start to swell (about 70% done). Do not fully boil.

   Time: PT1M

3. Drain and Cool Noodles

   Turn off the heat, pour the noodles into a colander, and let the hot water drain completely. Transfer the noodles onto a plate and spread them out to release excess steam. Let sit for 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

4. Add Light Oil to Noodles

   Drizzle 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over the spread noodles and toss gently to coat evenly.

   Time: PT30S

5. Prep Vegetables

   While the noodles are cooling, slice garlic, green chilies, onion, capsicum, julienne carrot and cut cauliflower into thin strips.

   Time: PT5M

6. Heat Pan

   Place the frying pan or wok on high flame until it’s smoking hot.

   Time: PT30S

7. Sauté Garlic & Chili

   Add the sliced garlic and green chilies to the hot pan. Stir‑fry for 20‑30 seconds until fragrant.

   Time: PT30S

8. Add Onion & Capsicum

   Add the sliced onion and capsicum strips. Stir‑fry for another 20‑30 seconds.

   Time: PT30S

9. Add Oil & Remaining Veggies

   Drizzle the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil into the pan, then add carrot and cauliflower strips. Toss for 1 minute, allowing the raw flavor to release but keeping the veggies slightly crisp.

   Time: PT1M

10. Season Vegetables

    Add a pinch of salt and both Maggi seasoning packets. Stir well to coat the vegetables.

    Time: PT30S

11. Add Sauces

    Add 1 tsp red chili sauce, 1 tsp tomato ketchup, 1 tsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, and 1 tsp rice vinegar. Stir‑fry for another 30 seconds so the sauces meld with the veggies.

    Time: PT30S

12. Combine Noodles & Veggies

    Add the pre‑cooked noodles to the pan. Toss everything together over medium heat for 1 minute, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and vegetables.

    Time: PT1M

13. Finish & Serve

    Turn off the heat. Optionally garnish with chopped spring onion. Serve hot.

    Time: PT30S

• Spatula or Wooden Spoon

• Small Mixing Bowl (optional)

Critical Steps — Do Not Skip

• Boil the noodles only 70% (about 1 minute) to keep them firm and prevent sogginess.
• Add oil after the initial high‑heat garlic sauté to achieve a smoky flavor without burning the oil.

Chef Tips from the Video

• Using a very hot pan before adding garlic creates a smoky, charred flavor without burning.
• Spread boiled noodles on a flat surface; the residual steam evaporates quickly, keeping them fluffy.
• Add the dark soy sauce last; it gives a deep color without making the dish too salty.

Troubleshooting

Storage

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan with a splash of water or oil.

Freezer: Not recommended; texture of noodles changes after freezing.

Room temperature: Best served immediately; will become sticky if left out for long.

Make-Ahead Tips

• Pre‑slice all vegetables and store them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
• Measure out sauces in a small bowl ahead of time; this speeds up the stir‑fry.
• Cook the noodles just 70% and keep them spread on a plate; they can be refrigerated for a short time before final toss.
