let's try something different

Ingredients

• 4 packets Instant Noodles (≈200 g each, plain flavor)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 medium Bell Pepper (any color, diced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Coriander (chopped)
• 2 pieces Green Chili (finely chopped, adjust to heat preference)
• 1 slice Bread Slice (to be torn into small pieces for coating)
• 200 g Minced Chicken (fresh or thawed)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Crushed Red Chili Flakes
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Paste
• ½ teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
• 1 Egg (lightly whisked for coating noodle patties)
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (for shallow frying)
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup (adds color and slight sweetness to noodle patties)
• 2 slices Cheese Slice (any meltable cheese, cut to fit patty size)

Instructions

1. Boil the Noodles

   Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, add all 4 packets of instant noodles and cook for 2‑3 minutes until just al dente. Drain and set aside.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 100°C

2. Prepare the Spice Paste

   In a mixing bowl combine chopped onion, bell pepper, coriander, green chili, garlic paste, salt, crushed red chili, and black pepper. Pulse in a food processor until a smooth paste forms.

   Time: PT5M

3. Make the Chicken‑Noodle Patty Mixture

   Add the minced chicken, torn bread pieces, and the spice paste to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until everything is well incorporated.

   Time: PT5M

4. Shape and Coat the Chicken Patties

   Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a flat patty about 1 cm thick. Lightly press each patty into additional bread crumbs (or the extra slice of bread torn into crumbs) for a thin coating.

   Time: PT5M

5. Fry the Chicken Patties

   Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium‑high heat (≈350°F). Fry each chicken patty 4‑5 minutes per side until golden brown and the interior reaches 165°F.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 350°F

6. Prepare the Noodle Patty Batter

   In a separate bowl, combine the boiled noodles, whisked egg, and 2 tbsp ketchup. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly.

   Time: PT5M

7. Shape Noodle Patties

   Take a handful of the coated noodles and press them together on a plate to form a round, burger‑bun shape (about 8 cm diameter, 1 cm thick). Repeat to make 4 patties.

   Time: PT5M

8. Fry the Noodle Patties

   Add another 1 tbsp oil to the skillet, increase heat to medium (≈350°F). Fry each noodle patty 3‑4 minutes per side until crisp and golden. Drizzle a tiny bit of ketchup on the surface while flipping for extra color.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 350°F

9. Assemble the Noodle Burger

   Place one crisp noodle patty on a plate, lay a slice of cheese on top, add a chicken patty, then top with another noodle patty. Press gently to hold together.

   Time: PT5M

10. Serve

    Transfer the noodle burgers to a serving plate. Optionally serve with extra ketchup or a mild dip.

    Time: PT0M
