Two-minute noodles are the ultimate pantry staple when you need a quick, easy, cheap meal-–ideal for when you’re short on time and money.
It’s the best of both worlds, but it turns out that when it comes to making them, how you eat them is just as important as how you make them.
But one social media personality shared her way of cooking two-minute noodles—to which several people reacted!
In her video online, Abbey O’Hagan, from Brisbane, explained her noodle-cooking method.
‘So when I make two-minute noodles, I just do it the way that it says it on here,’ Abbey said.
‘I will boil the kettle, put in the hot water, put all the stuff in beforehand, cover it and let it cook, marinate.’
She mentioned a step that she couldn’t seem to understand.
'Now the thing that gets me is that so many people...I don’t know if this could just be me…(once the noodles are cooked), people drain all of the water out,' she said.
'To me, that is like borderline psychopathic because the water with all the goodness is the best part. ‘
‘But then some people also put in the seasoning after (draining), and they don’t have that beautiful broth water.’
‘I don’t know, it keeps me up at night.'
According to noodle brand Maggi’s cooking instructions (printed on the packet), two-minute noodles can be 'served with or without broth as desired'.
Abbey’s video gained more than 165,000 times, and it turns out that many viewers agreed with Abbey on this one.
'Drain water, then add flavours, hits different. Flavour is stronger, not watered down,' one commented.
'Chicken MUST have the water left in that’s ELITE. Beef must be drained, then seasoning added and mixed with a touch of water,' another shared.
'I do hot water, let it sit, drain a little water, then add the flavouring. So much tastier,' someone else detailed.
One added, 'Legit. I’m eating the noodles for the broth, it’s the best part.'
Another said, ‘Finally, someone said it!! The broth is literally the best part that’s why I’m eating the noodles.’
