Method

  1. Prepare toppings:
    Boil an egg for about 8 minutes for the topping. Halve it.
    Slice the green onion into thin rounds (about 2~3 mm). Julienne the onion and cucumber into thin strips for topping. If you like it spicy, slice a hot pepper at this stage as well.

  2. Snip the topping kimchi into small pieces with scissors, no cutting board needed, which makes cleanup easy.
  3. Add 3 cups of water to a pot. Once boiling, cook the noodles along with the vegetable flakes from the packet. Cook for the time listed on the package.
