On Thursday night’s MasterChef ep, the chefs were tasked with cooking with classic culinary staple two-minute-noodles.
Instead of serving them with a handful of shredded cheese and plenty of watery, dubiously beef-y ‘soup’ (as is the B&T preferred method), the chefs had to use the noodles to make something new.
To a bonafide two-minute-noodle lover, that feels slightly wrong, but it is, after all, MasterChef.
