Loved this, I added a couple of chopped mushrooms, a good grinding of black pepper to spice it up a bit, a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder, made a very tasty lunch for me and hubby on a rainy Sunday.

Hi just wondering would you use a full stock cube for this recipe?
Vicky says
We recommend 100ml of chicken stock ideally,but as long as you add the same amount of liquid using a stock cube, the only thing is a stock cube may have a stronger flavor than stock.
claire says
1/4 of a stock cube for 125ml of boiling water, a whole stock cube in 100 ml of water would be very salty.

I really like this! Also saves me having to pick out the mushrooms from the shop bought pot noodles!!! Much tastier in my opinion as well.
