Copy Cat Maggi Noodles at Home

I have banned a lot of foods at home from outside for my kids. In this past year I have not brought a packet of Maggi nor have we ordered in Pizza or brought bread loaf from the store!

But, this made me work on making them at home and my whole wheat pizzas have a great response from my Whisk' N Creme' customers and I bake whole wheat or all purpose flour bread loaves now and then for the family. Though those recipes can't be shared as they are my business recipes, I can share my maggi taste-maker! :p

This noodles is made with hakka noodles, and tossed with a home made maggi taste-maker with vegetables. It is not sticky and slurpy like Maggi, but tasted almost the same. Some of the powders I use for the taste-maker may not be available in common in your pantry, but if you want to make maggi or love maggi and will be doing it often, its best to buy these powders. They are available with this brand called 'Keya' or if you know of a baking supply store near you they will have it as 100 gram pouches.


Copy Cat Maggi Noodles:

Making the noodles involves three steps,
1. Cooking the noodles - I use Hakka noodles here, so I cooked it Al Dente as per pack instructions.
2. Making the Maggi Taste-Maker
3. Tossing the Vegetables, Taste-Maker and Noodles together.
