Notes
1. Here are some tips to boil the noodles in the right way. Salt the water before adding the noodles. You have to wait until the water boils well enough. Once it bubbles, put the noodles into the boiled water and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into it. As the noodles start to cook, stir it well. Use cold water when you drain the boiled noodles using a colander. Try to put the boiled noodles on a large tray and spread it well with the fork.
2. If it is hard to find grated coconut, try it without that, but adding dry roasted grated coconut gives an extra taste.
3. I used Maggi stock cube, but you can use any vegetable stock cubes.
4. Don’t add more salt, because the vegetable stock cube is salty.
