Would it work?

[Gaditano]

If you were desperate!

If they do a curry Pot Noodle, and you let the noodles absorb most of the liquid, then yes - it would I reckon!

I'm partial to a chow mein with loads of curry sauce and chips - so don't see any reason why not!

[sarahj1986]

yes but only if you put the pot noodle on top of the chips so the sauce soaks into them

[TardisSteve]

sounds nice, if i were to do this it would have to be a Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodle

[Simon_More]

All I fancied last week was egg fried rice, chips & chow mien from the local Chinese lol. It was lush. It was a weird order I know my fella had special curry.

Don't your takeaways offer half & half?

Pass. I will ask!

[degsyhufc]

The majority, if not all, Chinese takeaways around here do half & half which is half rice or noodles and half chips.

It's quite a common dish.


So pot noodle and chips doesn't sound out of the ordinary to me.

I didn't know this, might have to ask my local chinese

[Lucy Lou]

If you try this combo let us know how you go on OP

[davelovesleeds]

I've never even had Pot Noodles out of the pot they come in so sounds an interesting idea.

The amazing Chinese I used when I used to go to B'ham offered this. 'Chips+Rice+curry sauce on one tray' is what they called it, and it was divine. I think it was about £2.20 or so. Much cheaper than buying each item separately.

None of the Chinese round my way in London have this on the menu, but thinking about it…I reckon that if asked, they would do it on request. Chinese and Indian takeaways are very normally accommodating.

Yes around the same price and with curry sauce or gravy offered.
It's quite a simple idea and i'm surprised it's not more common.

nice curry sauce is hard to find in London - theres 2 Chinese Chippys in Sheffield whose chips and curry sauce can never be beaten!

The last time I got some in London, there was peas in the curry sauce. It was rank!

[degsyhufc]

I think the addition of peas is also quite common for a Chinese curry sauce. Not saying they're a must have but i've seen plenty of recipies with them.

I add them sometimes just to add some freshness and feel a little healthier.

Sautee some onions, add the chinese curry powder/paste with water and simmer, add garden peas and sometimes apple or a spoonful of apple sauce or mango chutney.

Chinese next to us does Chips & Fried Rice in Curry, Gravy Or Sweet & Sour Sauce £3.30. Very nice it is too.
