From cheap student dinners to quick lunches and easy camping meals, people around the world love instant noodles.

According to the World Instant Noodle Association, the world ate more than 118 billion servings of instant noodles in 2021.

While they are easy to make, instant noodles can sometimes be a bit boring — but they don't have to be! So if you'd like your instant noodles to be a little tastier, here are some easy changes you can make:

Add flavor
Fresh ginger, green onions and garlic are found in many Asian dishes, and adding them to your instant noodles is an easy way to improve the taste.

Then, try adding extra sauces, like soy sauce, chili paste, oyster sauce, sesame oil or gochujang paste, among others. You could also try mixing a few of them together.

Add vegetables and eggs
Adding vegetables and eggs to your noodles will not only make them taste better — they'll also increase the nutrients in the dish.

Put an egg into the boiling water that your noodles are cooking in for an easy poached egg. You can also throw in some vegetables — like mushrooms, carrots or spinach — or cook them on their own and add them to your noodles afterward.

Add coconut milk
Add coconut milk to the noodle water to make a sweeter, creamier soup. You could then add some vegetables, meat or fish, and some lime and you'll end up with a dish that's similar to a Malaysian laksa — and just as tasty!

Cooking Skills: How to Make Instant Noodles Tastier

「どうも腹が空いた。さっきから横っ腹が痛くてたまらないんだ。」
「ぼくもそうだ。もうあんまりあるきたくないな。」
「あるきたくないよ。ああ困ったなあ、何かたべたいなあ。」
「喰たべたいもんだなあ」
　二人の紳士は、ざわざわ鳴るすすきの中で、こんなことを云(い)ました。
　その時ふとうしろを見ますと、立派な一軒いっけんの西洋造りの家がありました。
　そして玄関(げんかん)には
西洋料理店
山猫軒
という札がでていました。
「君、ちょうどいい。ここはこれでなかなか開けてるんだ。入ろうじゃないか」
「おや、こんなとこにおかしいね。しかしとにかく何か食事ができるんだろう」
「もちろんできるさ。看板にそう書いてあるじゃないか」
「はいろうじゃないか。ぼくはもう何か喰べたくて倒れそうなんだ。」
　二人は玄関に立ちました。玄関は白い瀬戸(せと)の煉瓦(れんが)で組んで、実に立派なもんです。
　そして硝子(がらす)の開き戸がたって、そこに金文字でこう書いてありました。
「どなたもどうかお入りください。決してご遠慮(えんりょ)はありません」
　二人はそこで、ひどくよろこんで言(い)ました。
「こいつはどうだ、やっぱり世の中はうまくできてるねえ、きょう一日なんぎしたけれど、こんどはこんないいこともある。このうちは料理店だけれどもただでご馳走(ちそう)するんだぜ。」
「どうもそうらしい。決してご遠慮はありませんというのはその意味だ。」
　二人は戸を押おして、なかへ入りました。そこはすぐ廊下(ろうか)になっていました。その硝子戸の裏側には、金文字でこうなっていました。
「ことに肥(ふと)ったお方や若いお方は、大歓迎(だいかんげい)いたします」
　二人は大歓迎というので、もう大よろこびです。
「君、ぼくらは大歓迎にあたっているのだ。」
「ぼくらは両方兼ねてるから」

Carl’s second book, Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement”.

Carl’s third book, The Slow Fix, explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes.

His fourth book, Bolder: How To Age Better And Feel Better About Ageing, is a spirited manifesto against ageism.
