Simple Snacks Made from Instant Noodles
Fried snacks are always a source of inspiration for home cooking—perfect for when you’re hungry or during the rainy season. This snack uses just three ingredients, so it’s definitely not complicated, but it can be a great idea for a special treat to enjoy with the family on a holiday.
This week, my husband has been extremely busy at the office—he even had to go in on the weekend because he has so many after-hours tasks to complete. I took the initiative to make a dish that’s easy for him to take with him—I just need to fry it and put it in his lunchbox.
I intentionally shaped these instant noodle snacks to resemble nuggets. I cut them out by hand into simple letter shapes. They look cute, but since they’re handmade, they aren’t perfectly uniform. However, that’s enough to make me happy—I was able to turn this simple dish into something even better. Curious about the preparation steps? Let’s take a look at the recipe below.
Ingredients
1 packet of instant noodles
Instant noodle seasoning
100 grams of all-purpose flour
1 egg
Instructions
Boil the instant noodles in boiling water until tender and fully cooked.
Next, prepare the seasoning in a bowl; add the instant noodles and one egg, then stir until well combined.
Blend until smooth and well combined.
Transfer to a bowl and add all-purpose flour until the dough is easy to shape.
Then shape as desired, dip in egg, and coat in breadcrumbs.
Fry over medium heat until golden brown.
Results and Serving Suggestions
This dish can be served with hot rice or enjoyed as a snack dipped in chili sauce—it’s absolutely delicious. Everything looks absolutely perfect—even though the shapes aren’t quite perfect yet—but I’m already very happy with the results; they’re quite appealing.

The flavor is savory, not spicy, with a slight salty umami taste from the instant noodle seasoning. Maybe next time I’ll replace the instant noodle seasoning with just salt and mushroom broth—it’ll definitely taste much better. Well, that’s my little recipe; I hope you enjoy it.

Lovely snack and lol love you made them in letter format ❤️❤️
I love the combination of letterforms—it’s so satisfying
Those noodle snacks really turned out fun with those letter shapes—I see the word “Hive” over there. Plus, I'm sure they taste delicious. Best regards.
After I made a lot of letters, I decided to incorporate the word “hive” into the design. They’re cute, even though they’re not all the same size.
It is admirable how you transform the everyday into an act of genuine care. In a society that often forgets the value of the little things, your gesture of turning three ingredients into a meal for someone striving to ensure their family’s wellbeing is, in essence, a lesson in practical stoicism: virtue lies not in the complexity of the task, but in the intention with which it is carried out.
The imperfection of your handmade creations does not detract from their value; on the contrary, it lends them the dignity of authenticity and the hallmark of someone who prioritises love over empty aesthetics. You have managed to turn a simple dish into a refuge for your husband amidst his demanding schedule. Thank you for reminding us that, in the face of pressure and work, the greatest support is always the devotion of the one who waits for us at home.
