Microwave Spicy Cabbage Noodle Bowl
Steps
- 1
Put the noodles and finely shredded cabbage in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with 400 ml boiling water.
- 2
Microwave for 3 minutes, stir, then microwave for 1 more minute.
- 3
Stir in half the flavour sachet, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, grated garlic, and chili flakes to taste.
- 4
Crack in an egg if using, cover with a plate, and microwave in 30-second bursts until the white is set.
Easy substitutions
No Cabbage?
Try Spinach or Frozen mixed vegetables.
Storage & leftovers
Best fresh, because noodles soak up the broth. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day and reheat until boiling.
Student tip
Use a big bowl: noodle water foams up in the microwave. Pierce the yolk before cooking the egg so it doesn't burst.
