HOW TO MAKE BIG MAN NOODLES

Efe Ikhenaode

Ever wondered how they make those delicious, spicy and rich looking noodles you see on ads and TV shows? If you haven’t, I have. For it is impossible for one to ignore such fine specimens. However as students, we unfortunately do not have the luxury for such expensive delicacies, hence our over indulgence in garri and two seconds noodles, but we can all agree that once in a while, we need to indulge ourselves with good food.

In this article, I’m going to be sharing my favorite recipe for making spicy, super super rich, beautiful (because what is good food without beauty huh?), colourful noodles, aka BIG MAN NOODLES!

Cooking noodles is an easy enough job, but I’m going to be sharing with you a very special recipe. Warning: e go chop money oh!!!

INGREDIENTS
Bell peppers
Sausages
Eggs
Spring onions
Black pepper
Green peas
Tomatoes
Ripe plantain
Vegetable oil
Chicken and of course, noodles!

Let’s get cooking shall we?

PREPARATION

STEP 1: Wash and boil your chicken. Ensure that it is thoroughly seasoned, DO NOT insult that chicken! Whilst it is boiling, chop your ripe plantain into little cute cubes, season with salt then fry it. Your chicken should be ready by now. Sift it then store up your stock; you’ll be needing it. If you’re the type to prefer boiled chicken, you can leave your chicken that way, but trust me, nothing beats fried chicken. It’s my recipe after all, duhh! At this point, I’m sure you’re already getting tempted by the chicken and dodo. Don’t be, it’s all for the greater good.

STEP 2: Some people prefer to parboil their noodles, but I would advise you not to try it unless you’re good with soggy noodles. Pour a bit of oil into a pan and then put in your chopped ingredients, stir and let it cook for about 4 minutes. Now pour in some eggs and let it fry gorgeously. Pour in sufficient quantity of water and add your raw noodles (preferably Indomie). After about five minutes, add the chopped plantain.

STEP 3 (For the simple folks): The simplest step. Dish out your noodles for yourself and that neigbour that came because the aroma was really disturbing. Add the chicken. Enjoy!!

STEP 3 (For the true ballers): Invite your friends over. Get chilled beers…or Pepsi, turn on your TV and connect to Netflix or Spotify. Dish out the BIG MAN NOODLES and enjoy like the big man you are!
