The Method

Notes

1. This recipe is customizable to YOUR liking. Use your imagination and creativity to guide you.


2. Other recommendations to add to your Korean Instant Ramen are tofu, Korean fish cake/Odeng 오뎅, bokchoy, mushrooms, garlic, Spam, rotisserie chicken .... anything you like!


3. You can do different types of eggs -- scrambled the egg in a bowl and add it to the broth while boiling to create a type of egg drop soup or crack the raw egg whole in the broth for 1 to 2 minutes before the cooking is finished to poach the egg. A soft-boiled egg placed on top is delicious too.
