What do you think about this tasty , crunchy noodle snack i made for my little one?
I had some noodles on hand but didn't feel like making the regular noodle dish or noodle soup,
I was inspired to try something different, something spicy and crunchy.
At first, i wasn't entirely sure of the outcome but am so glad it turned out as expected (crunchy and tasty).
Below is a detailed process of how i made this tasty, crunchy noodles snack.
Ingredients needed
- 200g of noodles
- 1 cup of groundnutoil
- half cup of corn starch
- 1 teaspoon of chilli pepper
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice (a blend of cinnamon, garlic, coriander)
- enough water for cooking

Procedure
Making this snack took less than 30 minutes.
It is both simple and not time consuming.
PARBOIL THE NOODLES
- l started by parboiling my noodle using clean water.
I allowed it to boil for about 2 minutes (ensuring it didn't get soggy )
 |  |
|---|---|
| **ADD HALF OF THE SPICE ** |
- l added half of my mixed spice and half of the chili pepper.
I stirred it using my ladle, then transferred it to a sieve to drain out the excess water.

MIX THE CORNFLOUR WITH WATER
- l poured a little amount of water into a clean plate, poured my half cup of cornflour, and stirred it to get a mixture that is not too thick
I then added the remaining chili pepper and mixed spice, stirred and set aside

FRY THE NOODLES
- using a little serving knife, i picked some noodles and mixed it with the not-too-thick cornflour (l made sure it was evenly mixed )
Using the little knife, i picked a little amount of noodles and gently placed it in the warm oil, allowing it to fry (I didn't allow it to change much color, just slightly)
