Ingredients
- 3 packs instant noodles, noodles only, seasoning packets not used
- 15 ml cooking oil (1 Tbsp)
- 10 g garlic, minced
- 50 g onion, finely chopped
- 180 g canned tuna flakes in oil (1 big can)
- 100 g hotdogs, sliced
- 200 g tomato sauce
- 30 g banana ketchup (about 2 Tbsp)
- 4 g sugar (1 tsp), adjust to taste
- 60 ml water (¼ cup), plus more if needed
- 40 g processed cheddar cheese, grated, plus extra for serving
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Water, enough for boiling the noodles
How to Make It
- Mince the garlic, chop the onion, and slice the hotdogs.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add only the noodle blocks, leaving out all seasoning packets.
- Cook until the noodles loosen but still have some bite, slightly less than the package cooking time. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the cooking oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant, then add the onion and cook until softened.
- Add the tuna and break it into smaller flakes. Stir in the hotdogs and cook for a few minutes.
- Add the tomato sauce, banana ketchup, sugar, and 60 ml water. Stir and simmer gently until the hotdogs are cooked through and the sauce comes together.
- Stir in the grated cheese until melted. Taste and adjust with salt and black pepper as needed.
- Add the drained noodles and toss gently until evenly coated. Add a little more water if the sauce becomes too thick.
- Serve immediately with extra grated cheese.
Kubo Tips
- Use only the noodle blocks. The seasoning packets are not needed for this recipe.
- Keep the noodles slightly undercooked before tossing them with the sauce so they do not become too soft.
- Adjust the sugar after tasting because tomato sauce and banana ketchup vary in sweetness.
- Add water a little at a time to keep the sauce loose enough to coat the noodles.
- Taste before adding salt because the tuna, hotdogs, and cheese already contribute saltiness.
- Serve soon after tossing, as instant noodles soften and absorb sauce while sitting.
