Ingredients: Instant noodles, XO sauce, cilantro, etc.

Instructions: Cook the instant noodles in hot water until soft, then drain. Mix in cilantro and XO sauce to enhance flavor and visual appeal. You can also add other ingredients based on personal preference.

Scene 1: Cocktail glass for a unique vibe

Instant noodles don’t have to be served in a bowl. You can use a cocktail glass to transform them into an elegant snack. The stemmed glass is easy to hold, and a small portion of XO noodles can be served for a bite-sized treat.

Plating Methods

①Mix the instant noodles with XO sauce, then place three to four bites worth into a wine glass. Pay attention to the proportion between the amount of noodles and the depth of the glass, as too much or too little will affect the visual appeal.

②Trim a piece of lettuce into a feather shape and insert it diagonally into the rim of the glass. The lettuce helps cut through the richness and adds a sense of lightness. Garnish with thin chili strips for an extra touch.

Scene 2: Shaping Instant Noodles Elevating Budget-Friendly Dishes

Instant noodles naturally have a curly texture, which can appear messy when simply placed on a plate. Here, shaping techniques are used to give the noodles height and form.

Plating Methods

① Use a brush to apply a stroke of red yeast paste in the center of the plate. Pack the stir-fried instant noodles tightly into a round mold, then remove the mold once the noodles are set. Drizzle a small spoonful of XO sauce over the noodles.

② Layer the pickled radish strips, garlic shoots, and chili strips on top in that order. Finally, garnish with edible flowers for a finishing touch.

Plating tip: You can also layer the noodles by placing half in the mold, adding a spoonful of XO sauce in the middle, and then covering it with the rest of the noodles. This adds extra layers of flavor.

Chilli is another star of XO, although the sauce is not supposed to be unbearably spicy. Rather, the dried and fresh chillies should add a smokiness and zing, elevating the other ingredients, rather than overpowering them. [Source: What is XO sauce and why should you care? | SBS Food]
