if instant noodles had a pizza flavour..
The inspiration behind this DIY homemade instant noodle recipe is a funny story.
I was munching on some delicious pizza last night, then I was watching a mukbang of someone eating instant noodles.
Then the next second, I was craving for pizza flavoured instant noodles!
This is how this dish was born.
It’s one of the easiest instant noodle recipes I’ve ever made, so let’s begin!
There are 4 main packets (or sauce tubs) for this pizza instant noodle recipe:
- Tomato sauce: I kept this simple by combining ketchup and pasta sauce I already had in my pantry.
- Cheese packet: I used a mix of mozzarella and parmesan cheese. One for the cheese pull iconic for pizza, and the other for more concentrated cheesy flavour.
- Seasoning powder: combining onion powder and garlic powder. I know this may not be on a real pizza, but it definitely adds more flavour to the sauce!
- Meat packet: pepperoni for that pizza inspo, but you can use any meat or keep it vegetarian!
What makes this work?
The key flavours that make this work is the combination of ketchup, cheese and pepperoni (I used sausage because I didn’t have pepperoni on hand).
You can use any meat of your choice.
As for the sauce, you can even go with all ketchup (think Napolitan pasta which is Japanese style ketchup pasta – super delicious I promise!)
For the noodles, you can use any noodles you have on hand.
I used Obento instant ramen noodles, these are healthier for you and can be cooked by adding boiling water and microwaving for a minute afterwards.
the packaging design
A lot of you ask me in my videos…Anna, where did you get your instant noodle cup from?
The answer? They are kraft soup containers from Amazon.
