Instructions
- Boil the noodles in rolling boiling water following the package instructions. (I boiled mine for 3 mins.) Drain the noodles and run some cold water over the noodles to cool them down. Drain.

Notes
- 1 Tbsp = 15 ml
- You can alter the toppings as you wish, like adding some boiled eggs or radish pickles. Canned tuna or salmon (e.g. sweet chili flavored) also works great in this noodle bowl.
