Directions

1. In a large pot bring 4 to 5 cups of water to boil. Add salt and 1 teaspoon oil. Then add the noodles and cook as per the instructions on the noodles packet. Cook noodles to al dente. I cooked my noodles for 2 minutes. Immediately drain water completely. Wash the cooked noodles under tap water for a minute to remove the excess starch. Toss 1/2 teaspoon oil in the cooked noodles. This will ensure they wont stick together

3. Then add red chilli flakes and fry for few seconds
