We decided to comb through the app, and created these 5 simple recipes – with every ingredient bought from pandamart. Zhng-ing up our instant noodles had never been more fun!

KOREAN BUDAE JJIGAE

Budae Jjigae is our all-time favourite comfort food! The one-pot goodness can be easily prepped with the simplest of ingredients. The key is getting the soup right, and the traditional way may take quite a bit of effort, but the cheat code is using a good brand of instant noodles.

We used Nongshim Ramyun Korean Budae Jjigae as our base and it is the best version we can find so far! We made our army stew with Lotte Premium Luncheon Meat, Gourmet White Button Mushrooms, The Silly Greens Oyster Mushrooms, and Tradition Shredded Mozzarella Cheese.

ABALONE CHICKEN NOODLES

We never thought chicken instant noodles could taste this good until we tried A1 Abalone Noodle on pandamart! It may be on the pricier side but it is totally worth it. The soup is super fragrant, and it comes with real baby abalones.

We amped it up with Hego Chicken Drumettes and The Silly Greens Baby Kailan. So hearty, and our tummies were warm and happy after the elevated bowl of chicken noodles soup.

THAI TOMYUM SEAFOOD NOODLES

How to say no to a bowl of spicy tomyum noodles?

We used the Myojo Instant Noodles Thai Tom Yum to create an easy bowl of happiness, made better with Serve Vannamei Peeled Prawns, BoBo Big Flat Fishcake and The Silly Greens Romaine Lettuce.

HK-STYLE GONG ZAI MIN

To satisfy our cravings for Hong Kong-style gong zai min in Singapore, we will always turn to NISSIN’s Chu Qian Yi Ding instant noodles – also readily available on pandamart. NISSIN’s Chu Qian Yi Ding comes in several variations.

The one we like is the Sesame Oil flavour because it comes with an aromatic sesame oil flavour and it is the closest to what you can get in Hong Kong. To make it even better, we fried premium gourmet Garlic Sausages from Johnsonville, and topped our bowl of noodles off with a sunny side-up. Ho sek ah!

JAPANESE KYUSHU RAMEN

Recreating a simple bowl of kyushu ramen can be done with just three ingredients – Nissin Kyushu Black Instant Noodles, BoBo Crabstick and Serve Scallops.

Just put everything into a pot and bring to a boil; your fragrant and flavourful bowl of Japanese ramen will be ready in 5mins.

All the ingredients listed in this post are available on pandamart – subject to availability. Do note that the meat & seafood are only available at select stores.

No more panicking when you need to whip up a meal with limited time; just a few clicks on pandamart and your order will be sent to your doorstep as fast as 30mins. Our lives have been changed forever with this convenience and we can never live without pandamart anymore. #truestory

The Hong Kong-Style Instant Noodle is a comforting bowl of noodle soup that never fails to make us happy. That familiar taste of the famed Hong Kong-style instant noodles is unparalleled comfort, and it works as breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper… anything. Any time is a good time for a bowl of Hong Kong-style Instant Noodle.

To satisfy our cravings for Hong Kong-style Instant Noodle in Singapore, we’re lucky to have NISSIN’s Chu Qian Yi Ding instant noodles! We were told that the formula has been improved, and we used the new version to recreate the iconic Hong Kong-style Instant Noodle. Happy to say that the taste is so close to what we would get in Hong Kong!

The new Chu Qian Yi Ding’s formula has more springy noodles and the sesame oil flavour is actually much more enhanced.

Here’s a simple recipe on how you can prepare the Hong Kong-style Instant Noodle with NISSIN’s Chu Qian Yi Ding.

NISSIN’s Chu Qian Yi Ding comes in several variations. The one we are going to use is the Sesame Oil flavour. It is a shoyu-base soup with an aromatic sesame oil flavour. It is the closest to what you can get in Hong Kong, and it doesn’t take a chef to recreate the Hong Kong-style Instant Noodle.

The new version features super springy noodles that have a nice bite to it, so if like us, you do not fancy soft noodles, then this new version with its delightful springy texture will be just right for you. The sesame oil flavour is also more pronounced, with a stronger aroma and a more distinct taste.

Coupled with fried luncheon meat pieces and an egg, the sesame oil flavour shines through the savoury soup and all its accompanying ingredients. Every sip of the soup is deeply comforting, and the best part is it not leaving that nasty salty aftertaste.

The new version also uses an aluminium packaging to prevent sunlight and moisture from affecting the contents inside and to ensure the noodles’ deliciousness lasts longer.

To enjoy the Hong Kong dish in the comfort of your own home is as easy as ABC. The key is NISSIN’s Chu Qian Yi Ding instant noodles, and everything else is a variation – depending on your preference.
