Fancy up cheap instant noodles

Hello everyone

Good news! AFS has a sister site which is currently in beta http://www.studentmoneysaving.com/. I’m now also contributing articles to this StudentMoneySaving (SMS) site and still posting both AFS and SMS articles here. SMS is your one stop website for all things related to UK student discounts, offers, and deals. Be a smart consumer and check it out, guys! So here you go, my first SMS article.

Many students live on instant noodles even though that may be out of financial necessity over loving them. Bought in bulk, ready in minutes, packets and pots of noodles are finding their home in student’s cupboards universally. However, if you are bored of the bland way of preparing them as per package instruction, spruce it up with meat, egg, vegetables, and you name it. Be creative! The following cooking method is generic for most of add-on ingredients. Enjoy!

Crack an egg

Make a hole in the saucepan for an egg.
Option 1: Crack an egg into the hole and let it boil for further 3-4 minutes.
Option 2: Crack an egg into the hole, lower the heat, and gradually scrambling it into the soup. The noodle soup will turn into egg drop consistency.
