A woman has sparked a heated debate after sharing a ‘controversial’ opinion on how to correctly make instant noodles – but not everyone agrees.
Abbey revealed that when she makes two minute noodles, she puts all the spices in, pours in boiling water, and lets it marinate for a few minutes before eating.
But what ‘keeps her up at night’ is that some people drain the water out after the noodles are ready.
‘I just follow the instructions on the packet,’ she said. ‘But so many people drain all of the water out – which is borderline psychopathic. The water is all the goodness, it’s the best part.’
She added, ‘Some people also put in all of the seasoning after, and don’t have that beautiful, brothy water!’
Many agreed that Abbey’s method was ‘correct’.
‘Finally, someone said it! The broth is literally the best part, that’s why I’m eating the noodles,’ one said.
‘It’s about putting the right amount of water in to cook the noodles to have a little concentrated broth left,’ another wrote. ‘I think drainers use too much water.’
‘I always keep the water – it’s like drinking yummy noodle juice, especially on a cold day,’ a woman added.
But others claimed she was ‘missing out’ on having a flavourful dish.
‘Drain water then add flavours, it hits different,’ a man wrote. ‘Flavour is stronger, not watered down.’
‘I put the seasoning in before I put the water in, then I let it sit for a bit, and drain the water out because I don’t like my noodles being soggy,’ one said.
Others shared different ways they enjoy their two-minute noodles.
‘I drain most of the water, add seasoning, and then add a tiny bit of butter mix,’ one shared.
‘I drain the water then add butter and Vegemite,’ a man wrote.
‘I add so much string cheese – it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I could honestly live off it,’ a woman said.
