Indomielette

Continuing from The Moin Moinlette (recipe HERE), we now have The Indomielette. The idea for this came from Instagram. I was discussing with Kemi just the other day that IG is where the action is right now. She recently joined Instagram and has been amazed at the food out there, from both bloggers, and seemingly every day cooks. Liz from @illfeedyourface face was on my feed, and she posted a dish she called Ramlet. She used Ramen Noodles. It made me smile, because I thought, ooooh that is so pretty, I want to try that. …..and try it I did last night.

A few minutes past midnight, I was making this simple but pretty dish. One pot wonder. Indomie and eggs are a dish as old as the inception of Indomie noodles in Nigeria. Instead of using two pots, just cook all in a pan, with your choice of veggies.

Using plantains was so last minute. I spied one piece of plantain on my kitchen cart going bad, and I thought ooooh, dodo, Indomie and eggs, is a thing, so why not just add it.

Indomielette2

When it started to cook, I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Imagine serving that to kids on Saturday morning. Indomiezza with eggs as the base, but I kinda like Indomielette, sounds cuter. You know the next progression of this right? Yoodlelette, using yam noodles, or better still, Indomie egg cups. Ali of inspiralized.com has a recipe for potato noodle egg cups. Potato noodles at the base of a muffin tin, pour eggs on top and toppings. I saw that recipe last week, and I thought oooh, okay, time to move on from Yoodles, to Sweet Potatoodles, and I was going to try that, but with this Indomielette, if you don’t have a spiraliser, you can get the same experience, but with noodles. I chose to go the frying pan way as it will be the most common kitchen utensil, compared with a muffin pan, but you betcha, that I will try that too. Imagine Indomie egg cups for breakfast. Leggo!!!!

I am sharing this close up picture so you can see the base. You need yo use enough eggs, otherwise, the noodles will just take over, and you won’t get that frittata effect, if you know what I mean

Indomielette
Author: Dunni Obata
Recipe Category: Breakfast
Cuisine: Nigerian Fusion
Prep time:  15 mins
Cook time:  10 mins
Total time:  25 mins
Serves: 4
 
Indomie and Eggs as a one pot dish, with your choice of toppings, for a fun and exciting breakfast. Re-inventing the wheel. Redefining Indomie and Eggs
Ingredients
  • 2 packets of Indomie
  • 2 - 3 eggs. I want to make a note about the eggs here. Use too many, and this dish will be soggy, because the volume of eggs, compared with the amount of Indomie noodles will be skewed
  • Your choice of toppings - from mixed peppers, onions, dodo, ham, sausages, fish, chicken, beef, etc
Instructions
  1. Prepare your toppings, I will suggest you do this first, because this dish happens so fast, you don’t want your noodles soggy. .
  2. Fry the plantain cubes, if you are suing plantain
  3. Place your noodles in a pot and pour hot water on it. The idea is that you want the noodles to soften and lay out, and not cook. If you let the noodles cook, by the time yo take it to the pan, pour the eggs on top, it may end up soggy.
  4. Now, that the noodles have softened, drain all the water.
  5. This is very important, and then transfer to a well oiled pan, on a lit cooker. Sprinkle on the seasoning from the packet, or leave it out, if you have your reservations about the seasoning.
  6. Beat your eggs in a bowl, season with salt, dry pepper and seasoning cubes, if you wish
  7. Pour it on top of the noodles, followed by your choice of toppings. . You can then choose to cover the pan, to allow the toppings to cook, or transfer to the oven to cook through. I tried this on the cooker, and it took about 10minutes. When the egg had cooked, I took off the cover, to allow steam escape, and get the toppings on top crispy. I used medium heat, because I didn’t want the bottom of the eggs to burn.
  8. and that’s it. Put some fun back into your noodles.. This can serve 3 - 4 people
Notes
I will advise that you choose toppings that have been cooked, well with the exception of the veg, so you don’t introduce liquid into your Indomielette
As you can see from the pictures, the egg cooked through the noodles. What does it taste like, Dodo, veg, Indomie and eggs

    Looks lovely 🙂 The “Indomielette” and “Dodo Frittata” do look like sisters anyways but slightly different. Na correct delta women create them.

    Thanks for stopping by Dooney.

    Great job. 🙂

            Thanks, that’s wonderful, I will link back to it. Love that it now has a Nigerian name. I will ask my family what they call it in Ghana. I haven’t seem them do a green ata lilo though, although sometimes they leave out the tomatoes and use eggplant instead. They only ever use orange habanero chillies.

    Hi Dooney, you are indeed a blessing to womanhood. Funny story…..I had all this recipes saved on my system for a quick peek anytime i need it. Last week, a friend of mine told me to go check your blog and whoopsssss……….you got me addicted. I apologetically deleted all the recipes i stored and started saving yours. Thank you once again. My first trial…..the Buka stew was really good i keep pinching myself. The party jollof rice too was really on point. But the Indomielette…awww. It wasn’t properly done and then was burning. I couldn’t eat it. All the same…am not discouraged. Kudos gal

Nigerian food, is bold, multi faceted, rich, colourful, spicy and with varied nuances, as you move from tribe to tribe. To describe Nigerian cooking, one would say it is fiercely traditional and somewhat dogmatic, but Dooney’s Kitchen proposes to simplify methods and steps that have been passed from generation to generation whilst also challenging some of these methods using Technology. The New Nigerian Cookery isn’t just about creating a New Nigerian Kitchen, or should we say a more technology aware Nigerian cooking experience, but it encompasses redefining recipes too. Come along on the journey, and welcome to one of the best online resources for Nigerian food.
