koka noodles

chuky_r_law · 25-07-2013 04:26PM #1

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!!!

Rayne Wooney · 25-07-2013 04:28PM

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

If your not a student you need to take a good hard look at your life

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.

Microwave the water to boiling..
Throw in noodles.

Be just fine..

scotchannie · 25-07-2013 04:29PM

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.

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 · 25-07-2013 04:29PM

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

They've gone horrendously expensive.

Nothing to do with the microwave...

DarkJager · 25-07-2013 04:31PM

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 · 25-07-2013 04:31PM

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

dickwod1 · 25-07-2013 04:33PM

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.

ixoy · 25-07-2013 04:35PM

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)

My friend made me koka noodles when I was on holidays last year, I was quite horrified that people actually ate that crap. But then.....Ohmygod they're yummy. YUMMY.

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.
