Cheese Maggi: The 5 Minute Upgrade

Cheese Maggi is the fastest comfort food there is. Cook the noodles as usual, then stir in a little butter and a shake of Grella Cheddar right before serving for a creamy, cheesy bowl in about 5 minutes.

What you need (1 bowl)

• 1 pack of instant noodles with its tastemaker
• 1 and a half cups of water
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 to 2 teaspoons cheese seasoning powder
• Chopped onion, capsicum or sweet corn (optional)
• A slice or a little grated cheese (optional)

Method

1. Boil the water. Add the veggies first if you are using them and cook for a minute.
2. Add the noodles and the tastemaker and cook for 2 minutes, stirring now and then.
3. Turn off the heat and stir in the butter.
4. Shake on the cheese seasoning and stir well. Add grated cheese on top if you like.
5. Taste and add a little more seasoning if you want it cheesier.

Tips

• Add the seasoning off the heat so it stays creamy.
• Keep a little water in the pan. Saucy Maggi holds the cheese flavour better than dry Maggi.
• Also works with any instant noodles or a bowl of plain pasta.

Make it spicy
