Spicy Nigerian Indomie Noodles

Ingredients

• 2 Indomie Instant Noodles (Standard packs (70g-80g each))
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil (For stir-frying)
• 0.5 Red Onion (Sliced)
• 2 Scotch Bonnet Peppers (Chopped (adjust to heat preference))
• 0.5 cup Mixed Bell Peppers (Diced (red and green))
• 0.25 cup Carrots (Julienned or diced)
• 2 packet Indomie Seasoning Powder (From the noodle packs)
• 1 tsp Dark Soy Sauce (For color and depth)
• 2 cup Water (For boiling noodles)

Steps

1. 1

   Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the Indomie noodle cakes and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened but still slightly firm (al dente). Drain the water and set the noodles aside.

2. 2

   In a non-stick pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the sliced red onions and chopped scotch bonnet peppers to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the diced bell peppers and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain a crunch.

5. 5

   Add the Indomie seasoning powder and the dark soy sauce to the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine the flavors.

6. 6

   Add the cooked noodles into the pan. Toss thoroughly with the vegetable and spice mixture until every strand is evenly coated and the noodles are heated through.

7. 7

   Serve hot immediately.

Notes

The 'brown stuff' mentioned in the comments is likely dark soy sauce or a concentrated seasoning paste used to darken the noodles. You can add a fried egg or shredded chicken for extra protein.
