Every doctor, health website and diet expert would tell us to stay away from instant noodles, as theyre high on fat, calories and sodium but low on nutritive content. They also contain additionals that are harmful to our bodies, such as artificial colors, preservatives, and favorings. But well... those bad labels couldnt stop us from having bowls of steaming Indomie, especially in rainy days and nights.
Okay, we admit it. We love Indomie. Just like millions of people in Indonesia and Africa. Instant noodles like Indomie have became daily consumption, even some creative folks have developed recipes that turn standard Indomie into all-star cuisine, though some might sound weird (yes, we're looking at you, whoever invented Indomie Waffle).
So, if you want to break the diet rule a little bit and do some experiment with Indomie, here are some inspirations.
