Ingredients
- 1 tsp neutral cooking oil 5 mL, generic cooking oil
- ½ cup button mushrooms can sub shiitake, 40 g, sliced
- ½ cup kimchi 75 g
- 1 ingle serving package instant noodles veggie flavored
- water amount according to package instructions
- 1 to 2 egg whisked
- avocado toppings
- sriracha
- green onion
- lime juice
Instructions
- Mushrooms: Heat oil in a medium pot over medium/high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they have released water, about 5 minutes.
- Kimchi: Add kimchi and continue cooking and stirring until kimchi and mushrooms are slightly caramelized, about 3 minutes.
- Ramen: Add water (use the amount listed on your ramen package) and half of the seasoning packet. Bring to a boil, then add ramen noodles. Cook about halfway (until noodles loosen), then slowly whisk in the eggs. Continue cooking until the ramen is cooked. Taste and add more of the seasoning packet as needed.
- Serve: Optionally top with sliced avocado, sriracha, chopped green onions, and a drizzle of fresh lime juice.

Notes
- This recipe can be quite high in sodium (as with most recipes involving a whole packet of instant ramen). For a lower sodium alternative, look for a low sodium ramen.
- Storage: Any leftover ramen can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container. I would just try to keep the topping seperate for better reheating.
