Instant noodles is not only designed to be cooked using it's conventional way - that is..first - to bring water to boil, second - to add the seasoning and additional ingredients and last but not least - the noodles and an egg.

In Malaysia, instant noodles, with the most popular instant noodles brand - Maggi, instant noodles is modified into delicious snacks such as murtabak, or pan fried bread and nugget.
I've made instant noodles murtabak before, unfortunately, the snack is not to my hubby's liking as he prefers the original murtabak, made with minced meat or chicken and the classic murtabak flour pastry.

I made instant noodles nuggets a few days ago, but only now I managed to update it in my blog.
I've been busy in developing my new baking blog, which I specify to share my favorite cookies, cakes, muffins, cupcakes, Malay kueh, brownies, buns, breads and pastries.
All are to be written fully in Malay, since I was inconsistent with the language usage in this blog.
Please feel free to have a look at my new blog here.

I used the most popular instant noodles brand here which is Maggi.
Maggi has variety of instant noodles products such as chicken, curry, tom yam and asam laksa flavored noodles and also fried instant noodles.
Among all the flavors available, chicken and curry flavored noodles are our favorite.

Today's instant noodles nuggets recipe that I'll share is using the chicken flavored instant noodles.
You may use other flavors, but I would recommend to use curry flavored instant noodles as another option.
You may add scallion, chopped coriander or Chinese celery, chopped onion, diced carrot, shredded cooked chicken, minced chicken or minced beef, sausages and so on for additional textures and flavors in your instant noodles nuggets.

NUGGET MAGGI @ MEE SEGERA

INSTANT NOODLES NUGGET

Category : Snack

Serve : 2 -3

Ingredients:

2 packets of instant noodles (I used chicken flavored)

2 eggs

A pinch of salt (if necessary)

1 teaspoon of white pepper powder

2 sausages - cut into small chunks

1/4 carrot - diced

1/2 yellow onion - diced

2 cloves of garlic - finely chopped

Green onion - chopped - optional

For Coating:

4 tablespoons of corn flour (mix with 1/2 cup of water)

Bread crumbs (orange or white is fine)

Methods:

1. Bring 3 to 4 cups of water to boil in a pot.  Add in the instant noodles (without the seasoning) and boil for three to four minutes, until soft.  Strain in a colander and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix in the remaining ingredients, including the seasoning of the instant noodles.  Add in the cooked noodle and mix until well combined.
3. Layer a sheet of baking paper or aluminium foil in an 8 x 8 inch baking pan (you may also use round baking pan), oiled the paper and the sides of the baking pan and spread the noodles mixture.  Gently press the noodles cake with a spatula to ensure it is compact.
4. Steam the noodles cake over a medium heat for 30 minutes, until it is completely cooked.  Remove the pan from the steamer and let the cake cools completely.  You may pop the pan into the fridge once the cake is warm to fasten the cooling process.
5. Cut the noodles cake into your desired size and dip each of the cake pieces into the prepared corn flour mixture (alternatively, you can use beaten egg) and coat with breadcrumbs.  Place the nuggets on a plate or arrange in an air-tight container if you want to freeze the nuggets.  For frozen nuggets, separate each layer with plastic or baking papers to prevent the nuggets from sticking together.
6. To fry the nuggets, heat oil in a frying pan and fry the nuggets in several batches (do not overcrowd the pan to ensure nuggets evenly cooked) over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.
7. Transfer the fried nuggets onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve your nuggets immediately with dipping sauce of your choice.
9. Enjoy!
