Asian ‘Sweet and Sour’ noodles to tweak your taste buds

Noodles are a staple in many Nigerian homes. Especially because it doesn’t take any meticulous skill to know how to cook them and it is also very quick to prepare. Noodles are perfect for when you get back late from work, but are too lazy to cook or when you wake up late and need to have breakfast before school or work. However, noodles can be very boring; especially when cooked the same way all the time. This recipe will have you thinking you are having a meal from a Chinese restaurant.
