The Pot Noodle Alternative . Throw away those Pot Noodles sneakily hiding in the cupboard - cook this up the night before , pop it in the fridge and take it with you in the morning . Once hungry , add some boiling water and then reminisce about those days spent warming up Super Noodles …..
Grab some dried noodles and cook them as usual , throw them into your glass jar and add a handful of mixed vegetables . Bean-sprouts , spring onion , dried coriander and add some meat if you ’ d like to spice things up . Add any sauces you ’ ve got to hand - soy sauce , hot sauce and stock powder to add extra flavouring and then you ’ re sorted . Get your chopsticks at the ready , everyone ’ s going to be SO jealous of you tomorrow .

One part of me will happily eat through a large Maccies and not feel full , whilst the other half feels completely guilty about it and so I then eat an apple to make up for it and , you know , make up for it .
