Mexi-Naija noodles

Which country or culture inspired your combination? Give a clear explanation about your inspiration.

Mexico is one of the country I appreciate their food so much, and they are full with street foods. Some of the ingredients that I use to prepare this local street food noodles was inspired by their street food. Their spicy ingredients and fresh veggies on food inspired me to make this preparation. Of course they are known for having street foods with lot of veggies.

Some companies in Nigeria has already started producing noodles even though it main origin is not Nigeria. Every homes in Nigeria, every child in Nigeria has eaten and like noodles and so it has automatically turn out local street food.

Noodles is found in almost every street of Nigeria as one of the best commonest and widely eaten street food in Nigeria. It is so common that recently many people found it as food that is not nutritious, food that is harmful to the body.

So as people found it as food that is harmful to the body, I thought of the ingredient and a better way to prepare it that will make it beneficial to the body.

I thought of using the Mexican taste of dish to prepare the noodles.

What new flavor, or presentation did you create?

I create a new style of using veggies to fry egg, specifically using of shredded cabbage and carrots to fry egg.

This cabbage and carrots makes the egg taste crunchy as you bite.

While cooking the noodles I added chopped carrots but while frying the egg I used shredded carrots and cabbage. This style alone makes it looks appetizing and the seasoning flavour I used invite neighbours already.

So if this is taken to the street, it will give the street food customers another tastier version of their favourite street food.

The presentation looks premium or nothing

How do you think people would react if this food was sold on the street? Explain!

I personally carry that experiment out by sharing the fried egg and fried noodles to some members of my family that will present when I prepared it. Day love it the friendship part of the egg really makes its test very nice and they love it.

So if my people could love this recipe how much more people out there on the street. Therefore , rather than frying egg without veggies it is very advisable you fried egg this way, so you add this veggies in your noodles and make it nutritious and protein us to eat rather than eating just noodles with the seasonings inside the pack.

Street food customers will be thinking they are eating foreign food where as they are enjoying a better meal.

In all the presentation looks premium, people will enjoy so much while eating this food on the street.
