Instructions
-
Prepare maggi noodles according to package instructions.
-
In a large bowl, mix together all your sauce ingredients.
-
Then add in all your veggies.
-
In a small pan, heat oil and once it starts sizzling, add this tempering into the bowl.
-
Then add in your boiled maggi noodles, cilantro, basil, toasted sesame seeds and crushed roasted peanuts.

Mix everything together and adjust the seasoning according to taste. If needed, use hot water to adjust the consistency of noodles as per your preference. I like keeping the noodles a little more liquidy as it prevents it from becoming too dry and enhances the flavor.
