Loaded Cheese
Kimchi Instant Noodles

Elevate ordinary instant ramen into a rich, creamy feast by stir-frying kimchi, simmering with savory proteins, and finishing with melted cheese and mayonnaise.

Ingredients

• 1 packet ramen noodles
• 1/2 cup kimchi
• 2 eggs
• 4 pieces sausage slices
• 4 fish balls
• 4 pieces tofu
• 4 shrimp or seafood
• 1 handful bean sprouts
• 1 packet instant noodle seasoning powder
• 2 slices yellow cheese
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 red chili pepper
• 1 stalk green onion
• 1 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

1. 1Stir-fry kimchi

   

   Pour oil into the pan and add kimchi, stir-frying briefly until fragrant.

   Tip: Stir-fry until the kimchi is aromatic before adding other ingredients.
2. 2Fry kimchi and add ingredients

   

   Pour oil into the pan and add kimchi, stirring briefly until fragrant. Crack an egg into the pan and add your favorite side dishes like sausage pieces, fish balls, tofu, seafood, and bean sprouts.

   Tip: Make sure to stir-fry the kimchi briefly to release its flavor before adding the rest of the ingredients.
3. 3Add bean sprouts and seasoning

   

   Add bean sprouts into the pan along with the instant noodle seasoning packet. Pour in just enough water to cover the ingredients—avoid adding too much so the flavor doesnt become diluted.

   Tip: Control the amount of water carefully to ensure a rich and concentrated broth flavor.
4. 4Add seasoning and water

   

   Pour in the seasoning packet and add water just enough to cover the ingredients without diluting the flavor.

   Tip: Do not add too much water to prevent the soup from becoming too diluted.
5. 5Add ramen noodles

   

   Once boiling, add the ramen noodles, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes so they cook primarily by steam.

   Tip: Cover the pot tightly to let the steam cook the noodles evenly.
6. 6Pour in beaten egg

   

   When the cooking time is up, pour in the beaten egg liquid around the noodles.

   Tip: Pour the egg gently for an even distribution.
7. 7Garnish with chili and green onions

   

   After simmering the noodles for 5 minutes and pouring in beaten egg liquid, sprinkle chopped red chili peppers and green onions evenly across the top for garnish and color.

   Tip: Add the garnish right after the egg liquid to let the fresh flavors blend into the hot broth.
8. 8Add cheese slices

   

   Place two slices of cheese on top of the cooked ramen noodles, then cover the pan with a lid to let the cheese melt slightly from the heat.

   Tip: Adjust the number of cheese slices according to your personal preference for creaminess.
9. 9Drizzle with mayonnaise

   

   Drizzle mayonnaise over the melted cheese on top of the noodles to create a sticky, thick, and ultra-delicious finish.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of mayonnaise based on personal taste to balance the spicy and savory notes.
