Let's try out the Maggi noodles recipe, which is quick and easy even for a novice.

• 70 gms instant noodles
• 1/2 tsp tomato sauce
• Spring onion
• 1/2 tsp soy sauce
• 1/2 cup mixed vegetables
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 onion
• 2 tbsp schezwan sauce

• Take 2 cups of water in a pan and boil it.
• When the water starts to bubble, throw in 1 packet (70 grams) of Maggi noodles and let them cook for approximately 2-3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make sure they're soft but not mushy because you will be stir-frying them later.
• Once they achieve your desired texture, drain the excess water and set aside the noodles.
• This way, they'll cool down a bit and will be easier to toss with the sauce later on.
• While the noodles boil, you can prepare your vegetables as well.
• Pour two tablespoons of oil into a large pan on a medium flame. Once heated, add a finely chopped onion.
• Caramelise the onions for about a minute until they get soft.
• Add half a cup of mixed vegetables: chopped carrots, capsicum, and beans. Other veggies you may substitute these with, according to your choice, are peas or cabbage.
• Saut them for 3-4 minutes.
• The mixture should be let to cook until the vegetables are slightly soft but retain a bit of crunch, which adds a delightful texture to the dish.
• Once they are tender but still vibrant, it's time to incorporate flavours to give this dish its kick.
• Add two tablespoons of Schezwan sauce; this sauce is spicy and tangy and is utilised quite often in Indo-Chinese cuisine.
• The Schezwan sauce packs a punch in terms of heat and flavour intensity. So, only add if you can tolerate the spice. Otherwise, reduce the quantity of the Schezwan sauce accordingly.
• Now, add in 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, giving savoury depth, and add in another 1/2 teaspoon tomato ketchup as a balance of spice with a hint of sweetness.
• Stir these sauces well with the vegetables and let everything cook together for 1-2 minutes so that they all mesh in perfectly.
• It is now time to add the cooked noodles to the pan.
• Let's gently toss the noodles, vegetables, and sauce so that all noodles are well-coated with the sauce. The spicy Schezwan sauce will mingle well with the Maggi noodles giving a spicy twist to the quintessential two-minute noodles.
• Now, add the Maggi tastemaker masala that came in the packet to give you the signature taste of maggi noodles.
• The unique seasoning provides comfort and nostalgic flavour in the dish on its own and enlivens the spicy and savoury notes of the sauces.
• Now, toss the noodles for about 2 minutes so that the noodles will be well mixed with the sauce and the vegetables are evenly spread.
• These noodles should be well coated with the mixture.
• Cook the mixture well without overcooking both the vegetables and noodles.
• At this point, when everything is incorporated properly together, the heat should be switched off, and the dish should be garnished with fresh chopped spring onions or coriander leaves.
• This would create a contrasting refreshing taste with the spiciness of the food, as the garnish is fresh.
• That's a snack or even a quick meal, and the flavour that will engage your taste buds is a combination of spicy, savoury, and tangy. It will indeed become the favourite of everyone who likes a little more kick to their Maggi noodles!
