This clue might be a double definition.

'improvise some' is the first definition.
'noodle' can be an answer for 'improvise' (noodle can mean to musically improvise). I'm unsure of the 'some' bit.

'staple food' is the second definition.
(I know that noodle is a type of staple food)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for noodle that I've seen before include "Strip of pasta in soup" , "Goose" , "Dope - put in the soup" , "Staple of Chinese cuisine" , "Piece of pasta - fool" .)
