Tom Yum Instant Noodles Salad

Every time I visit Thailand, I just can't help grabbing a few packets of MAMA Tom Yum instant noodles back. So far, MAMA brand is the best tasting Tom Yum Instant Noodles I ever had. Instead of cooking it as a soup based noodles, I've wanted to try something different. Yes! Yum MAMA, Instant Noodles Salad. Probably this makes me feel less sinful for eating instant noodles. 

Surprisingly, it taste amazingly nice (but can be very spicy, so try not to put too much chilli padi). Here's the recipe:

Yum MAMA

1 package of instant noodles - MAMA brand - shrimp tom yum flavor (comes with 2 Pkts of seasoning)

3 small pcs of sliced squid

1 crab meat, sliced

40 g. ground pork

1 shallot, sliced

2 Tsp lime juice

2 Tsp fish sauce

1 Tsp sugar

Lettuce, sliced

Cherry tomatoes, halved  

Chili, sliced (put according to ur own spicy tolerance)

1. Add the instant noodles seasoning, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and chilli padi in a salad bowl. Mix well and set aside.

2. Boil some water in a pot. 

3. Shape the ground pork in small balls and add in the boiling water to cook. Shaping the meat into balls will make it easier to scoop out when cooked. 

4. When the pork is halfway done, add in squid and crab meat in the water to cook. 

5. Remove pork, squid and crab meat when they are ready. Add them to the seasoning and mash the minced pork into smaller pieces. Add in sliced shallots.

6. In the same boiling water, add in instant noodles and cook about 2 min. 

7. Remove instant noodles from heat and add it to the salad bowl together with the rest of the ingredients. 

8. Add in lettuce and cherry tomatoes to the salad and mix well. Serve. 

Hope you enjoy this simple recipe.
