Instant Noodle With Cucumber, Eggplant and Tofu

Well, I feel that the combo of instant noodle with cucumber, eggplant and tomato is suitable to me. Means I didn't have diarrhea after eating that.  Hahaha! So I bought again cucumber and eggplant, however, I didn't buy tomato due to it's so expensive this week. I bought tofu instead for the protein. 

The smooth tofu is quite cheap I think, it's just RM1.49 per block. In Japan, around that size, it's around 50 yen (around 15 years ago). A cheap source of protein. I like this kind of smooth tofu in soup only, I don't really like other types of tofu derivatives, like beancurd skin, tofu puff, etc.

eggplant
I separate the items I bought and finished in two meals. Since the cucumber and eggplant had high water content, I just added just enough water to cover the noodle. Then, I think the steam soften the cucumber and eggplant. It is done without too much water.
just add water slightly above the noodle

after done boiling (Maggi Mee)

Cintan Mee
One meal I cooked Maggi Mee, another I used Cintan Mee. All traditional flavour. I think next round I will buy leafy vegetables to test.
