chuky_r_law

bought a packet of koka noodles to work thinking i could microwave the feckers. read the cooking instructions on the back it says 'add noodle to 400ml of boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes.' does that mean cooking on a stove or will it be fine microwaving them. can you microwave noodles? some help...im starvin!!!

I used to pour boiling water from a kettle over them and break them up a bit then stick them in the microwave and they turned out ok, not the beat tasting mind but still ok to eat

I hear Masterchef are looking for new contestants, you should sign up.

Boil the kettle, leave the noodles in the boiling water for 2 minutes or so (in a bowl or something, not the kettle). It'll be fine.

bbam

Microwave the water to boiling..
Throw in noodles.

Be just fine..

scotchannie

yeah you can just make sure you put enough hot water in the container with the noodles... and cook for about 4 mins or so...

I read this in a Jackie Chan voice.

Lelantos

Yep, you can microwave them.
Cook them without the flavor, drain the water, then add the flavor sachet & stir, brilliant for the curry noodles

Ilik Urgee

Had one of these yesterday, don't use the flavouring-it's gank!

Nothing to do with the microwave...

DarkJager

You could also be hardcore and actually eat them straight out of the packet with the flavouring sprinkled over them. Really nice snack with a few cans.

wp_rathead

ok- are they in a tub like Pot Noodle or a plastic packet?

dickwod1

I microwave Koka noodles all the time (the pack not the pot)

Break the noodles up put in a bowl and add boiling water & flavor packet ... stick into the microwave for 3 mins ... stir half way ... Happy days

They're also horrendously bad for you.

OP, a couple of bags of crips would be a comparable lunch, nutrition-wise.

Yeah that's some seriously difficult cooking you're doing there, hydrating noodles.

Pour some boiling water over them and then cover them in tinfoil to pack in the moisture. Put the tinfoil package into a microwave for a couple of minutes.

(note: above may not be the best advice)

It's like that Dyno-Rod orange ersatz cheese sauce they put on the cheese fries in Eddie Rockets. It offends me, it disgusts me, it should in no way be allowed to be classed as a foodstuff.

But my God, is it delicious

Actually, just in case it's not clear: Please don't do this. I don't to hear about a house burning down tomorrow after an explosion in a microwave.

Also, go to an Asian market - lots of noodle varieties out there waiting to be discovered.

noooooooooo that's wrong, wrong wrong wrong. It takes like what I would expect liquidised smelly feet to taste like.

Though I did feel like that about garlic cheese fries too and then I was drunk one night and, well you know the rest.

...remove from tinfoil and hang the noodles in a cool dry room (temperature no more than 10 degrees tops) for a couple of days.
When the 'hanging' period is complete, enter the room on tiptoe so as not to 'agitate' the noodles, before liberally seasoning the dried strips with black pepper and basil, next marinate in Cherry Brandy for ages...etc.....before eating them and boring everyone senseless whilst explaining your cooking method.

Curry, cheese, coleslaw and garlic on the side. No meal will ever compare.

In the chipper I used to go to in college they did a Slurry Box, mainly ordered by bouncers at 1-4am. Chips with curry sauce, coleslaw, stuffing, garlic mayo and melted cheese. YUM. After 15 drinks of course.

Thread started, posts read, noodles cooked and eaten in within 10 minutes! mmmm nutritious.

You should have had scrambled eggs!

You should have a try at making toast.
Bit tricky though.

chuky_r_law

im at work so im a bit limited in what i can do. we have a kettle. we have a microwave. noodles seemed like a good option

seosamh1980

Could've done scrambled eggs in the microwave too, much more filling.

And are essentially the same muck as the 25c own brand equivalent.

I did love them till I came to Ireland and they went from 20p in home and bargain to 1.10 a pack

Somewhat Lacking

1. Boil the kettle.
2. Put the noodles in a bowl and break 'em up a bit.
3. Pour the boiling water over the noodles.
4. Give it a stir.
5. Pop it in the microwave.
6. Add the flavoring.
7. Stir again.
8. Eat.
9. Die.

Put the noodles in the kettle and then the kettle in the microwave

I made the mac and cheese one once.
It was vile.

seosamh1980

Why don't you bring in foods that don't need microwaving, pre made salads/lunches with protein, some carbs, etc? Or bring leftovers from curry or chili etc and heat them up.

Christ the Redeemer

I break them up in a bowl, pour boiling water to just level with the noodles, micro for 2 minutes, mix in the flavour.

never fails.

Til you realise that tiny portion you're still hungry afterwards contains almost a fifth of your daily calorie allowance and a whopping 70% of your salt RDA.

Go with the eggs next time, seriously.
