Schezwan Maggi

Schezwan Maggi needs no introduction. It is a spicier version of our fav Masala Maggi.

Ingredients

  • 1 Pack of Regular Maggi Noodles
  • 1 Cup of Water
  • 1/2 Cumin Seeds
  • 1 Tbsp Oil
  • 2 Tbsp of Schezwan Sauce
  • A Pinch of Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Extra Maggi Masala (Optional)\
  • Salt to Taste
  • 1 Tsp Chopped Spring Onions for Garnish (Optional)

Preparation

Prep: 5 minutes
Cooking: 15 minutes

  1. In a pan, add water to boil for 5 minutes on a medium flame. Add the slab of Maggi noodles to it to cook for the next 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the Maggi masala that is inside the packet in the first 2 minutes of putting the slab in the pan.
  3. Once the Maggi is cooked, transfer it to a bowl. Wash the nonstick pan in which the noodles were cooked earlier. Heat oil in this same pan on a low flame.
  4. Add cumin seeds and wait for it to crackle. Add schezwan sauce to it and a pinch of sugar. Add some salt to taste. You can also add extra Maggi masala if you like it very spicy.
  5. Mix well. Now add the cooked Maggi noodles to this pan and toss it all together.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions if you like. Serve hot. That’s it!

Originally from Mumbai, I moved to Madrid in January 2019 for my graduate studies. It has been one year and five months since I am in Madrid and stuck in lockdown for two months due to COVID-19. Rather than feeling awful about this situation, I took it positively by utilizing this time to do what I have been yearning to do since the past few years - cooking! Having grown up watching Nigella Lawson and Master Chef, I have had some serious interest in cooking. To the extent that I was almost on the verge of enrolling myself in a culinary school in Paris when I was 18. For several reasons I haven’t experimented as much in the kitchen as I would have liked, until now. I decided to put on my chef’s hat on day 1 of #MadridLockdown and go all out with my amateur cooking experiments. So here I am, still in lockdown, penning down my recipes for all those who want to be the master chef of their own house.
