Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Boil the noodles
    Noodles cooking in a pot of boiling water being stirred with chopsticks.

    Place the noodles into a pot of boiling water. Use chopsticks to stir them gently, ensuring they cook evenly for 6-7 minutes. This process prepares the noodles to be perfectly tender for the sauce.

    Tip: If you prefer a chewier texture, be ready to rinse them in cold water immediately after this step.
  2. 2Transfer and rinse noodles
    Cooked noodles being lifted out of a pot with chopsticks.

    Once cooked, lift the noodles out of the pot using chopsticks and transfer them into a bowl. Rinse the noodles in cold water to stop the cooking process and achieve the desired chewy texture.

    Tip: Rinsing in cold water is the secret to getting that perfect, springy bite in your noodles.
  3. 3Heat the curry sauce
    A sealed pouch of curry chicken sauce submerged in a pot of boiling water.

    Place the sealed pouch of curry chicken sauce directly into a pot of boiling water. Let it heat for three minutes until warm throughout. This ensures the savory sauce is ready to coat your noodles perfectly.

    Tip: Heating the pouch in hot water is the quickest way to warm the sauce without diluting its rich, savory flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rinsing removes excess surface starch and rapidly stops the cooking process. This prevents the noodles from becoming mushy and gives them their signature chewy, springy texture.
It is best to heat the sealed pouch in boiling water as directed, as many retort pouches contain foil and are not microwave-safe. If you must microwave it, pour the sauce into a microwave-safe bowl first.
Taste a noodle around the 6-minute mark. It should be tender all the way through but still offer a slight resistance or bite in the center.
