Ingredients
  

1 packet instant noodles (with tastemaker)
1 1/2 cups water
2 tbsp chopped carrot
2 tbsp chopped capsicum or cabbage
1 tbsp chopped spring onion or onion
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp oil or butter (optional)

Equipment

  • 1 Electric kettle
  • 1 large heat-safe bowl
  • 1 plate (to cover the bowl)
  • 1 fork
  • 1 Small knife

Method
 

Boil the water in the electric kettle.
    Break the noodles into a large heat-safe bowl and add the chopped vegetables.
      Carefully pour the boiling water over the noodles until they are just covered.
        Cover the bowl with a plate and wait 3 to 4 minutes, until the noodles are soft.
          Drain most of the water into a sink, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the bowl.
            Add the tastemaker, black pepper, oil and lemon juice, and mix well.
              Cover for 1 more minute so the vegetables soften, then eat hot.

                Notes

                Safety: Only use the electric kettle to boil water. Pour it into a heat-safe bowl and do not cook the noodles inside the kettle. Pour slowly and keep your hand away from the steam.
