Maggi Noodle Pancakes: How To Make Instant Noodle Pancakes (Vegan)

These instant noodle pancakes are a healthier and wholesome take on an otherwise low-on-nutrition dish. If you find Maggi noodles, or any instant noodles too strong or salty, this is the recipe for you! It’s crispy on the outside and soft and flavourful on the inside.

Inspiration for Maggi noodle pancakes?

As I manoeuvre through adult life, I find my salt intake to have reduced a lot more than what I was used to back in my teens. I used to eat a lot of processed foods that were usually pretty high in salt. I recently tried the Maggi noodles to relive my university-time memories but found them too salty. So I decided to make a dish that provided veggies and a good amount of fibre to make it balanced while also toning down the salt. If you still prefer salty foods, you can definitely add some salt to this! I’m too vanilla.

Add-ins for instant noodle pancakes

So, I added flour, corn starch, vegan cheese, red onion, mushrooms, carrots, bell pepper, minced ginger and garlic and chopped coriander/cilantro.

You can choose to add some corn, green chillies, scallions, shredded cabbage etc.

  • Hi Muskan, thank you for your message and I'm so glad you appreciate my work!!❤️
    Maggie noodles itself does not contain milk solids, but since they are prepared in manufacturing facilities that also produce dairy-based products, you could have "traces" of milk solids. This is a common phenomenon in many products that are vegan. They are required to disclose this for people with fatal allergies. For regular people it's okay to consume it. of course, I'm not asking to eat Maggie every day which isn't healthy at all haha. But it's okay if it's just once a while (in my case, once in a year or two :P). I hope this answers your doubts!❤️
