Step 1 of 13

So most people buy these boxes of instant noodles and follow the instructions on the package. It's supposed to be a noodle soup. But I'll show you how to cook it another way.

You can find these at most Asian stores. They're delicious and the box is about 12 bucks but I've seen them individually sold at Nugget Markets.

Add the salt pack, the spice pack, then the oil pack. Be cautious with the spice. It can be really spicy for some people. I add it all 😁 but in this step I only add half of everything.

Add the rest of the condiments. I do this to make sure it's flavorful. Sometimes the flavor gets washed out when there's still a lot of water.

By this point you should hear the water boiling out and it starts to have a crackling sound. Let it sit to brown the bottom.

Can you only have veggies? I'll take a look into it if I can.

Can you recommend a vegetarian authentic Chinese soup like Mama's? I want to make this, it looks delicious.

Another very easy and delicious way to cook mama is to boil the noodle and water in a microwave before seasoning. This makes the noodles very soft ;)

My mom's been making it for the family since I was born. She'll make a whole pot of it. I love soup but when I want my spice fix I go for the dry since its more concentrated πŸ‘Œ

I've only had the pork and shrimp since that's the only ones my momma's ever bought πŸ˜„ if that's your favorite flavor it should probably taste good this way too. Do you usually have it as a soup?
