Essential Ingredients
- 1 small cup of instant noodles
- Water (hot water, less than the amount for the noodles)
- 1 packet of cooked rice (approx. 200g, 1 serving)
- 1-2 eggs
- Cooking oil (for stir-frying, generously)
- Sesame oil (for a nutty aroma, generously)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, a pinch)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, this recipe is for 1 to 1.5 servings. Prepare one small cup of instant noodles and 200g of cooked rice (about one bowl). Having the rice ready beforehand will shorten the cooking time.
Step 2
Open the cup noodles and carefully take out only the noodles. Use a fork or your hands to break the noodles into smaller pieces. Place the broken noodles back into the empty cup. This will make it easier to handle when stir-frying.
Step 3
Now, add all the seasoning powder from the cup noodle packet into the empty cup. Pour in hot water, but use slightly less than the amount recommended for the noodles (you can adjust the water amount to your preference). Stir to combine the noodles and seasoning, then close the lid and let it steep for a moment. This step softens the noodles.
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Crack in one egg and scramble it. Stirring the egg with chopsticks as it cooks will create a fluffier texture for your fried rice.
Step 5
While the egg is cooking, add the 200g of cooked rice and the softened noodles (from step 2) to the pan. Stir-fry over high heat, using a spatula or spoon to break up any clumps and mix everything thoroughly. It’s important to stir-fry until the savory flavor of the noodles is infused into every grain of rice!
Step 6
Once all the ingredients are well combined and stir-fried, turn off the heat. Finally, drizzle in a generous amount of sesame oil for a nutty aroma. Give it a quick toss to distribute the sesame oil; this will elevate the flavor of your fried rice.
Step 7
Carefully pack the finished fried rice into the original cup noodle container, pressing it down to shape it. Invert the cup onto a plate to reveal your stylish Cup Noodle Fried Rice!
Step 8
Ta-da! Your mouth-watering Cup Noodle Fried Rice is complete! For an even richer and more delicious experience, try topping it with an extra fried egg. The runny yolk will blend beautifully with the fried rice, creating a divine taste. Enjoy your meal!
