Instant noodles are not only cheap and tasty, they are also widely available in a broad variety of flavors and styles. If you are up for some experimentation, why not try something beyond your favorite noodle? Recently, there is a viral trend of combining noodle flavors, which can drastically improve the taste of the meal.

Here are the top-10 best instant-noodle combinations.

Indomie Mi Goreng + Indomie Mi Goreng Rendang

This is one of the best dry-noodle combinations. The spicy-savory taste profile is mainly created by the flavor of the original Mi Goreng and the spicy sensation of Mi Goreng Rendang. To get the most flavor out of this pairing, combine all of the original and rendang seasonings properly before placing the noodles on the plate. For an extra kick, add sambal ijo (green chili pepper spicy sauce), beef rouladen rolls and a soft-boiled or fried egg.

Indomie Hype Abis Mi Goreng Rasa Ayam Geprek + Mie Sedaap Korean Spicy Chicken

This combination is spicy, sweet and savory in the right places. To upgrade the flavors, add thinly sliced shallot, minced garlic and chili flakes into the mix as seasoning. Add a fried egg on top of this super-spicy noodle, as well as a few bunches of bokchoy and pieces of thinly sliced cucumber to balance out the spiciness.

Indomie Hype Abis Mi Kuah Rasa Seblak Hot Jeletot + Mie Sedaap Kari Spesial

Expect a savory, extra-hot combination. In order to give depth to the flavor profile, add sliced-beef sausages, a touch of cayenne pepper and caramelized, sautéed shallots. When the noodles are ready, top with a lightly poached egg and garnish with pilus (a snack made from rice flour) topping or crackers. For an alternative, whisk an egg into the soup and stir until cooked to complement the noodle.

Indomie Hype Abis Mi Kuah Seblak Hot Jeletot + Mie Sedaap White Curry

This combination substitutes the bold flavors of Kari Spesial with the more complex smack of White Curry, which tastes like a cross between opor (a Central Javanese dish of chicken cooked in coconut milk) and chicken curry, to perfectly blend with the hot kick from the Seblak Hot Jeletot. Look forward to a creamy texture with a delicious spiciness on the tongue. Sprinkle with crackers or pilus for that extra crunch.

Sarimi isi 2 Ayam Kecap + Indomie Mi Goreng Rasa Sambal Matah

Great for those who enjoy the combined taste of soy sauce and sambal matah. Mix the Ayam Kecap and Mi Goreng seasoning with sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce and caramelized garlic and onion to add the savory taste. Make sure to slightly overcook the noodles to get them softer and plumper, and try serving them with pickled radish or cucumber. Add meat of choice sprinkled with black and white pepper to top it off.

Gaga 100 Extra Pedas Kuah Jalapeno Mie Instant + Indomie Mi Instan Rasa Ayam Bawang

Those who can handle hellish spiciness should try this particular combination. Add vegetables of choice, sausage, shredded chicken, slices of chili and scrambled eggs and mix them thoroughly with the Gaga and Indomie seasonings to complete the dish. Garnish with spring onion and chili powder to taste. In order to make the flavor profile more interesting, arrange the noodles in a bowl and top them with cucumber salad and grated cheese.

Mie Sedaap Instan Rasa Sambal Goreng + Indomie Mi Goreng Aceh

This combo can be enjoyed just fine without additional spices. The aroma of homemade fried chili will be released once the noodles have been cooked and all of the seasonings are mixed together. Expect a complex blend of savory, sweet, salty, spicy and sour flavors that seem to integrate perfectly in one bite. It should be noted that in this case, both noodles have noticeably different textures -- Indomie has thicker noodles, while Mie Sedaap is slightly thinner -- and if one finds this spoils the experience, they should use only the former or the latter instead.

Indomie Mi Instan Rasa Kari Ayam + Indomie Mi Instan Rasa Soto Mie

This soup-based combination has a rich blend of flavors, but the classic savory taste of Soto Ayam remains dominant. Add minced garlic, shallots, spring onions, cayenne pepper, sausage, beef meatballs and poached egg for the “complete” experience. The soup will have a strong taste and aroma of curry after the noodles have been mixed with the spices and seasoning. For the final touch, sprinkle with fried onions.

Indomie Mi Instan Rasa Kari Ayam + Indomie Mi Goreng

In this combination, the creamy soup of the Kari Ayam enhances the characteristic flavor of the classic Mi Goreng. This is a mix-and-match of dry noodles and soup noodles, so make sure not to make noodles too salty. To avoid doing so, use only half of the chicken curry-powder seasoning. When mixing the noodles, add one tablespoon of water if the noodle is too dry, but do not make it too soupy for the perfect “in-between” texture. Serve with fried shallots, shrimp, egg, chicken, beef and cabbage.

Samyang Hot Chicken Ramen Spicy Original + Indomie Mi Goreng

This is a combination of spicy Korean fried noodles with Indonesian flavour -- expect a familiar, yet foreign creamy and spicy-savory flavor profile. Put Samyang noodles first, and cook for three minutes before adding Indomie Goreng, and mix them for another two or three minutes to mask the texture differences between the two. Take the noodles out of the water, and stir the noodles until they are evenly coated with the seasonings. Place on a serving platter with half of the cooked eggs as the topping.
