The article discusses the issue of instant noodles, which has been dividing Aussies into one of two categories regarding preparation and preparation. The author's work wife, Alice, demonstrated her own preparation technique, which involves adding flavoring into the dry noodle bed first before adding seasoning, before adding the hot water and then pouring out the delicious, soupy goodness once the broth has cooked the noodles through.

The debate over instant noodle preparation has sparked discussion on Reddit forums, with users arguing that the seasoning is superior.
