Healthy Cup Noodles with Tofu

I like to have some brands of instant noodles. I know they are not the healthiest of options, but they taste good and are great comfort food.

One of the ways to make it a tad healthier is to add vegetables. Just stir fry them separately with garlic and add salt. Them mix it in with the noodles.

I had a packet of Pepper Chicken noodles, so Tofu was a great addition.

I made the noodles as directed on the packet.
For the Tofu topping:

100 gms tofu cut in cubes
1 small capsicum cut in cubes
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsps oil
1 tsp chopped garlic
salt/pepper to taste

You can also add:
Boiled chicken or prawns
Mushrooms
Baby corn

Heat the oil in a pan. Add the garlic once oil is hot and stir on high flame for 30 seconds. Add the vegetables and tofu and keep stirring for another minute. Then add the soy sauce and chilli flakes. Normally, you shouldn't need more salt after you've used soy, but check to see if you need to add some. Add some ground pepper and remove from heat.

Mix it in with the noodles and serve hot.
