Backpackers’ Instant Noodles Recipe
Ready to whip up something easy yet oh-so-satisfying? These instant noodles bring a burst of flavor and can be customized to fit your taste buds. Plus, they’re super simple to make! Let’s check out what you’ll need.

Ingredients
- 2 packs of instant noodles (your favorite flavor!)
- 1 cup of vegetables (fresh or frozen, whatever you have on hand)
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon of sesame oil (optional, but it adds a nice touch)
- Protein of your choice (tofu, chicken, shrimp, or whatever you fancy)
- Green onions, chopped (for that added freshness)
- Hot sauce (if you like it spicy)
Instructions
- Start by boiling water in a pot. You’ll need enough to cover the noodles completely.
- Once the water’s bubbling, toss in your instant noodles. Cook them according to the package instructions – usually about 2-3 minutes.
- While they’re cooking, prepare your protein. If you’re using chicken or shrimp, make sure it’s cooked all the way through. For tofu, just sauté it until it’s golden brown.
- After the noodles are done, drain them and set aside. Don’t forget to save a splash of the noodle water; it can help with the sauce later!
- In the same pot, add the already prepared protein, your vegetables, and any saved noodle water. Stir-fry them for a couple of minutes until everything’s heated through.
- Now, add the cooked noodles back to the pot. Drizzle in your soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together until it’s well-combined.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, a splash of hot sauce can make your dish pop. Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top before serving.
And there you have it! A savory and satisfying bowl of Backpackers’ Instant Noodles that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy it solo or share with your loved ones—either way, you can’t go wrong. Happy cooking!
