How to Upgrade your Noodles

 

They're delicious, easy to make and a meal for any mood, but they do tend to get boring after a while. That's why, we're going to show you how to change your acquired taste from drab to fab by upgrading 2 minute noodles into a gourmet dish in just a few more, than 2 minutes!

Instead of always having a noodle soup, why not try out a noodle stir fry?
