You must have often heard of fried instant noodles, right? So how about combining instant noodles with sardines today?.
The idea of creating something new by cooking instant noodles with sardines is something I’ve never done before. I know that canned fish isn’t good for you if you eat it all the time. I have two more cans of this fish, which I got as aid after the recent floods. I hardly ever buy canned fish like this because I don’t like it. Well, it just so happens that my husband likes it, and today he asked me to cook sardines with instant noodles. I thought it was a crazy idea, but he said he often enjoys noodles with sardines and thinks it's really delicious.
I tried his idea and saw it on social media. Apparently, noodles with sardines are often cooked by many people. At first, I was skeptical about whether it would taste good, but my husband's confidence made me want to try making it. I tried making a fried version because I thought it would be delicious.
By minimizing the use of sardine sauce, straining out the watery part, and using thick seasoning, it would reduce the fishy taste of the noodles. Let's get straight to the step-by-step preparation.
1 pack of Indomie noodles
1 small can of sardines
1 clove of red onion
1 clove of garlic
1 stalk of spring onion
1 stalk of celery
3 cayenne peppers
Prepare the sardines, then strain the sardine seasoning and take only the thick sauce. Fry the sardines in hot oil until browned.
Boil the noodles first until tender and cooked. I deliberately leave the noodles whole so they look nice when fried.
Finely chop the shallot, garlic, celery, scallion, and chili peppers, then sauté the shallot and garlic with a little oil.
Then add the strained sardine sauce and cook with a little water until the seasoning is cooked.
Next, add the instant noodle seasoning, then add the fish and noodles and stir until evenly mixed. Finally, add the scallions, celery, and chili peppers, then adjust the seasoning.
Noodles with seasoning and sardines are ready to serve, a simple dish for my husband that I have prepared to enjoy. I added fried tofu and eggs. He was very enthusiastic when he saw his plate, everything was nicely arranged. His favorite fried noodles are now ready. He mentioned that the aroma was slightly different when he was away. Of course, he usually cooks by pouring all the sardine seasoning into the noodles. The first bite made him close his eyes in delight. He said the taste was fantastic.
The savory and spicy umami flavor, enhanced by the chili peppers I chopped, and what he liked most was that the sardine seasoning was well absorbed and the sardines were still intact. He used to make it by stirring it, which resulted in the sardines being chopped up. This time, I intentionally fried it briefly to keep the fish meat firm. The result was perfect—the sardine aroma wasn’t noticeable at all, and I loved it.
