These ramen noodles, also known as vegetable masala maggi, are a yummy and quick vegan breakfast option. To add a healthier twist, saute the maggi ramen with the veggies of your choice.
Vegetable ramen noodles (Maggi Ramen) are among the most loved kids' foods. They are also the easiest snack you can make for your kids anytime.
My kid is a big fan of these ramen noodles. Again, I add many vegetables to these noodles, so I make this very often. Honestly, I've been a die-hard fan of these ramen in any form since childhood. We get this ramen from many brands here, but the popular ones are Maggi and Top Ramen noodles. There are many vegan ramen brands which come with a spice mix. These are available in all supermarkets and the Asian aisle.
But here, since I add lots of vegetables, I'm assured that my son is also eating vegetables along with these noodles. Whether I make stir-fried or soupy noodles, I load them with vegetables to balance and add nutrition to each food.
Are vegetable ramen noodles good health food?
These ramen noodles are made with refined flour and are hence not suitable as an everyday food. You may also choose ramen made with other flour, such as wheat flour or ragi flour. Kids love these noodles, so we can try incorporating lots of healthy food and vegetables into this Maggi.
How to make Vegetable Ramen Noodles (Masala Maggi)?
Traditionally, Maggi is boiled in water and the tastemaker spices. But now, I just boil it in water for some time, remove the water, and wash it off with regular water to stop overcooking. So, in this way, half of the carb content is being washed off.
To make this healthier, add more vegetables like cauliflower, green peas, carrots, green beans, potatoes, and many more you can add. This hardly takes 15 minutes to prepare. And this 15-minute maggi is no doubt 1000 times better than 2-minute maggi.
Well, if you are more concerned about healthy food, you can replace the maggi noodles with vermicelli for the tiffin box. Read my vermicelli pulao, vermicelli upma, vermicelli biryani recipe on blog.

How to make vegetable ramen noodles (Maggi Ramen)?
This is made in two steps. First, the maggi is boiled until soft (not mushy). Second, the vegetables are sauteed, and then the boiled maggi noodles are mixed with the sauteed vegetables, tastemaker (spice mix available in maggi packets), and some more ground spices.
Step 1: Heat 1 cup water. Put maggi in boiling water. Boil for 2 - 3 minutes or till maggi is soft, but don't overcook; otherwise, it will be mushy.
Step 2: When cooked, strain out Maggi noodles with the help of a large strainer or colander. Then wash it under tap water to stop excess cooking with heat.
Step 3: Heat oil. Add chopped onions and vegetables. Cover with a lid and cook on a slow flame. Add a little salt, coriander powder (optional), and red chili powder (optional), and stir gently. Since we are adding extra veggies, the tastemaker one pkt won't be enough. So, I added a little bit of extra ground spices.
Step 4: Now add the boiled maggi to the pan of vegetables and stir once. Then, add the tastemaker and mix thoroughly and gently. Use tongs for the best mixing.
