Ingredients- 2 packs Cup Noodles (Spicy or Fish Cake flavor)
- 1 pack Cup Noodles soup powder
- 2 paper cups milk (approx. 400ml)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 onion
- 2 mushrooms
- 2 strips bacon
- 1 slice processed cheese
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Thinly slice the garlic and mushrooms. Finely chop or thinly slice the onion. Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Having everything prepped beforehand will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and onion, and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the bacon and mushrooms. Continue to cook until the bacon is cooked through and the mushrooms have softened, stirring occasionally. Sautéing the vegetables well will bring out their best flavors.
Step 3
Once the vegetables are nicely sautéed, pour in 2 paper cups of milk (about 400ml) and add the Cup Noodles soup powder. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the powder dissolves smoothly without any lumps. Reduce the heat to medium-low and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. You can adjust the sauce consistency by simmering it a bit longer if you prefer it thicker.
Step 4
When the sauce begins to simmer, add the 2 packs of Cup Noodles and the dried vegetable flakes that come with the noodles. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Just before the noodles are fully cooked, place the slice of processed cheese on top of the sauce and stir until it melts, creating a creamy finish. Mix everything together well, and your delicious, creamy Cup Noodle Tom Yum pasta is ready to be enjoyed!
