Happy Wednesday, my foodie friends!

Honestly, I know how stressful figuring out what to cook can be—especially when you are tired, hungry, and your brain’s on strike. But hey, that’s why I’m here. My food philosophy? Simple, satisfying, and affordable. Because at the end of the day, we all gotta eat, right? Can I get an amen?

So today, we are whipping up something simple, quick, and dangerously delicious: Honey-Garlic Veggie Noodles!

No need for a dramatic intro here—you already know it’s going to slap. So grab your pan, roll up those sleeves, and let’s get cookin’ before our stomachs start a protest!

How to make Honey-Garlic Veggie Noodles

Ingredients:

• 1 packet of instant noodles (any flavour, discard the seasoning)
• ½ cup mixed vegetables (carrots, baby marrow, peppers, or whatever’s in your fridge)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey
• ½ teaspoon crushed garlic
• 1 tablespoon oil (olive or sunflower)
• A pinch of black pepper
• Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for garnish

Method:

1. Cook the Noodles: Boil the noodles for about 2 minutes — just until soft but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Veggies: Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Add the garlic and stir for a few seconds until fragrant. Toss in your mixed veggies and stir-fry for about 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crunchy.
3. Add the Flavour: Mix soy sauce, honey, and black pepper in a small bowl, then pour over the veggies. Stir to coat them evenly.
4. Combine Everything: Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss well until the sauce and veggies mix beautifully together.
5. Serve & Enjoy: Serve warm, drizzle with a little lemon juice or sprinkle sesame seeds on top if you like. Perfect for a quick lunch, light dinner, or even a lazy midweek snack.

   *You can add scrambled egg, chicken strips, or tofu for extra protein — or keep it fully veggie for a light, refreshing bite.
