Stir Fry Instant Noodles with Sardines

Ever tried frying noodles with canned sardines?  This recipe is from my hubby and he's the cook for this yummy noodles.   His and my favourite noodle at one time.  We stopped cooking this noodle when we stopped buying canned food but we do miss this noodle. Here is our recent indulgence of this noodle with basil leaves and shredded zuchini. Got the basil leaves free from my neighbour's garden and zuchini is cheap this days.

You can cook this noodle spicy or non-spicy according to your preference.  You can also make it dry or with a little gravy and can garnish it with mint leaves or basil leaves.
However, for better taste, I recommend that this noodles must be cooked with good quality canned sardines.

Verdict - yummylicious stir fry instant noodles.
