📝 Cook notes
Indomie and egg na the meal wey one generation of Nigerian grow up on — instant noodles wey ready for three minutes, wey you dress up with fried or scrambled egg and whatever dey for the kitchen. Na the ultimate student, bachelor and midnight-hunger dish: cheap no be small, foolproof, and you fit customise am anyhow. One pack of noodles, egg and small oil na genuinely full, hot meal for pocket change.
The cooking barely count as cooking, wey na the point, but na the small upgrade dey make am. Fry small onion, pepper and tomato before you add the noodles and their seasoning; drain most of the water so e dey saucy instead of soupy; and fold the egg in at the end, or fry am separately and put am on top. Vegetable, sardine, sausage or leftover protein all dey enter well. The dry, stir-fried style far better than the watery boiled version.
On value, nothing for this list fit compete. Indomie na one of the cheapest hot meal wey you fit make for Lagos, the egg dey add real protein for very small money, and the whole thing faster than to order anything. E no be fancy and e no dey pretend — but for quick, filling, cheap meal wey any student fit cook, e don earn im place as genuine national staple.
