TIPS
• The flavour sachet isn’t essential; plain noodles will also work, especially if you season with salt and pepper, or a little cheese, etc.
• The tomatoes and celery can be replaced with other options, such as: ham, chicken pieces, bean sprouts, canned beans, etc.
Or use chopped up leftover veggies from another meal, according to wikihow.com.
