Let's start with the basics. Maggie Noodles zindabad!! after years i made the two-minute wonder meal last night... and of course, how could i forget making it? add noodles and tastemaker to two cups boiling water. cook for 3-4 mins (yeah the 2 min. thing is just a marketing ploy, but we all knew that) and voila! your breakfast/lunch/snack/dinner is ready. i used to be more creative before and add onions or an egg or something else, but i just made it in its purest 490 calories form. how do you make your Maggi??
