Notes/Tips:

• Don’t overboil the soup after adding the Maggi it can make the noodles too melty.

• You can add more veggies like chopped cabbage, corn, etc.

• If you want to prep it from before, make everything till you add the noodles. Boil and then follow the steps and so the noodles don’t overcook.

• You can make it spicier by adding green chili paste instead of chopped chilis.
