Ingredients:

• 3 packets of maggi (or any instant) noodles
• 1 sachet of spice packet that comes with the instant noodles
• 1 cup of mixed vegetables of choice (carrots, beans, corn, peas, etc)
• 1 of onion, chopped
• 1 tsp of soya sauce (I used dark soya sauce which explains the colour of my noodles)
• 1 tsp of green chilli sauce (or replace with 2 crushed green chillies)
• 1 tbsp of tomato sauce or ketchup
• 1 tsp of minced garlic (about 3-4 cloves)
• Salt of only if needed
• Coriander leaves of for garnish (optional)
• 1 tbsp of oil

Method: 

• Bring a pot of about 4-5 cups of water to boil. Add the noodles and a few drops of oil to this. Cook until the noodles are softened yet firm. Take care not to overcook it otherwise the noodles will get totally messed up. If you insist on making a mistake, undercook the noodles please. 
• Heat the oil in a pan and add the garlic. Stirring briskly taking care not to burn it, add the chopped onion. Cook until the pieces turn soft and begin to brown.
• Turn the heat up and add the soya sauce, ketchup or tomato sauce and green chilli sauce. Mix well for a minute and then add the mixed vegetables. Stir well to combine, add the spice mix, lower flame and cook until the vegetables are soft. Don't add water at any point. 
• Once the vegetables are soft, add the cooked noodles and mix well. Check for salt and add only if needed. The spice mix and the soya sauce are salty so I generally don't add any more. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with more ketchup.

     You can also add 1-2 scrambled eggs to the noodles to make it Instant egg noodles. Delicious
