A friend of mine from work, Jack, introduced me to these noodles in a moment of complete financial ruin at the end of my working week and I am now totally obsessed. Thanks Jack. They aren't your regular 2min noodles, they actually make a damn fine noodle dish.
They include in the pack three sauces for you to mix together - I suggest only using half the chilli sauce unless you want it super spicey. It then has two toppings, a powder that I have no idea what it is (probably some super strength MSG but who cares it tastes delish) - I mix this in with the sauces in a the serving bowl first then sitr in the noodles, then cover with the fried onions. The guy in the video makes them more uni student/ frathouse style. I thoroughly suggest frying an egg to place on top of the finished product - it will blow your mind. You can also mix it up with some tofu, veggies and or meat to put in the noodle dish.
Jack warns to avoid the satay flavour as it "tastes like shit". Now the great news is you can cook this meal for about 60c. 5 packs of the noodles are from Coles or Woolworths (in the Asian section not the noodle section) for about $3-. A 5 pack and half dozen eggs is about $7- - perfect for the uni student dinner or something to have as a snack or just a lazy dinner for one after a hectic day at work. Sam - these would be ideal for you at Bathurst!!
Now if you can't stand an instant food that tastes delicious then you can make your own - I also recommend frying a "sunny side up" egg and placing on top. When you crack the egg it self sauces the yummy goo all over the noodles. Divine! Recipe courtesy Padma Lakshmi
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 pound linguine
Salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup minced onions
2 teaspoons minced gingerroot, or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups broccoli florets
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon chili paste, or to taste
2 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons Oriental sesame oil
1 tablespoon mango chutney
Directions
In a large pot of boiling salted water cook the linguine until it is al dente and drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: In a large nonstick skillet set over moderately high heat, warm the oil until hot, add the onions, gingerroot and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the broccoli, carrots, celery and salt to taste and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes more. Add the five-spice powder, chili paste, soy sauce and 1/2 cup of pasta cooking liquid and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in the sesame oil and chutney. Add the drained pasta and stir to combine.
And if you would like a video instruction on how to make this watch this hysterical goose. The video is quite funny.

It is a good idea though but the size of my kitchen would work so much against me. If I ever get a bigger place I would definately give it a shot. I might consider a one off at a friend's place to see if I look like an idiot or not
You will be happy to know one of my best friends in my life is finally back in it and we used to take each other out in Sydney to a different restaurant every birthday and up each others standards - first birthday cost $90- (Buon Ricordo) for the two us and the last one went up to around $500- (Catalinas by Sea Plane from Palm Beach) for the two of us. Anyways we have made plans to start up the challenge again with our first outing to my all time fave restaurant - The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay - we are then going to do one restaurant a month in Sydney. This should get some more Sydney restaurant stuff out there. We did The Forbes last weekend and my friend, Brooke, came up with the idea.

Thanks so much for Sydney Table - it's so much fun writing stuff and thinking about cooking from a different angle when writing recipes up (most of all cooking pedantically organised so the pics don't look crap
