Re: Instant noodles: Break the block?

Me = leave noodles as whole, boil it until it starts to break off, then empty the soup, refill the water. Then comes putting all the fillings and the extra stuff :)

Re: Instant noodles: Break the block?

I don't break it in half I break it into 1000 pieces. I break the noodle block up into many little pieces (which is harder to do than it seems without getting noodle shards flying everywhere). I always assumed everybody done this?

Re: Instant noodles: Break the block?

When I eat those I always cook 2 packets at once as 1 packet is not enough. What annoys me thoguh is that there are only 5 packets in the bundled pack. They should make it either 4 or 6.

Thank god I'm not the only one who thinks this.

But what I do in that case is just buy 2x5 = 10.

Win.

I chuck the whole thing in and stab it with repeatedly with fork so it'll break.

sometimes I have more bits flying out onto me/the floor than in the bowl.

I'm definitely trying the peanut butter trick next time. And I break in half.

Re: Instant noodles: Break the block?

I break it if it won't fit in the saucepan/container (e.g. if cooking multiple blocks).

Re: Instant noodles: Break the block?

Would break it but the block is already broken when I open the packet. Everytime.

Instant Noodles: Crumbs.

Often, when you open a fresh pack of instant noodles, the block isn't 100% whole and you get 'crumbs' of instant noodles at the bottom of the bag.

What do you do with these crumbs?

Re: Instant Noodles: Crumbs.

pour them into my palm and munch on them...
i often get intrigued by the wonderful taste and binding nature of these crumbs and end up breaking some off the whole block to eat as 'crumbs'.
