This morning, it was below freezing outside. Naturally our human bodies would prefer to shutdown and hibernate under the sheets. But life must go on. I didn't have any fresh ingredients in stock so I couldn't make myself some hot soup or porridge to warm me up. But I did have Korean instant noodles!
The fact that it's "instant" makes it a less healthier choice of meal. However, in a dire circumstance or when I am simply craving for it -I go for quick cooking noodles.
The best way to cook them is to first make sure your water is boiling vigorously. Don't add too much water, you might dilute the taste. Add the noodles first and let it boil for 3-4 minutes or as instructed in the package. Just when it's about ready, you pour the other packaged ingredients then let it boil for just a few more seconds. Enjoy them asap before they get soggy.
Extra Tips: Add an egg for extra protein. If you can't stand too much spice, add a slice of cheddar cheese after cooking and let it melt.
Extra Info: In Korea, this is known as "Ramyeon" (라면).
Caution: A typical Korean Instant Noodle pack is usually around 500 Calories! If you add egg and cheese, well... just do the math.
