Ingredients
- 3 servings instant ramen noodles only use the ramen noodles (don't use the seasoning or dried veggie flakes if provided)
- ¾ cup kimchi finely chopped
- 6 tablespoon kimchi juice from the kimchi packaging
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
- ½ teaspoon white granulated sugar or cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
- 1 green onion finely chopped
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese or add as much as desired
Optional Add-Ins:
- 3 soft boiled eggs
Instructions
- In a large pot filled with water, bring it a boil. Add your instant noodles and boil for 2 minutes max. Do not overcook them. Reserve 5 tablespoon of the noodle water for later. Strain noodles immediately and add 1 teaspoon of oil to loosen the noodles. Set aside.
- Then heat remaining vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan on medium heat. Fry kimchi until juices from the kimchi release. Next toss in minced garlic and stir fry the kimchi and garlic together.
- Add cooked ramen noodles, kimchi juice, chicken powder, white granulated sugar, sesame oil, and noodle water. Toss everything together.
- Next toss in green onions with noodles.
- Top noodles with shredded cheddar cheese and let it melt. Reduce the heat to low-medium to avoid overcooking the noodles. Serve hot and enjoy!
- Optional: Bring a pot of water to boil on medium-high heat. Soft boil eggs for 8 minutes. After boiling, transfer boiled eggs to an ice bath. Crack, peel and slice them into half to serve with noodles.
