Frequently Asked Questions
I kept the dish simple and used just a few seasonings to add flavor to the Maggi, but you can also add some veggies into it to make it healthier and nutritious.
Bell peppers, carrots, baby corn, bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms and cabbage are all great choices. 
I wouldn’t recommend storing the leftover chili garlic Maggi for more than a few hours, ideally in a covered container.
While it won’t necessarily spoil, instant noodles taste best when you have them right when they’re made, and can tend to get all clumped up when they cool down.
To reheat the noodles, add a sprinkle of water into it and microwave it.
