Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 1 spicy cup noodle
  • 1/2 package soft tofu
  • 1/2 green onion
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru
  • A little enoki mushroom
  • 1/4 onion
  • 1 egg

Recipe 🍳

  1. Leaving the noodles in the cup noodle container, remove the powdered soup and dehydrated flake sachets. Then fill with water to just below the indicated line and set aside.
  2. Heat oil in an earthenware pot or small saucepan, add the chopped green onion, and sauté until the scallion oil fragrance rises.
  3. When the green onion turns golden, add 1 tbsp gochugaru and quickly stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds to make chili oil without burning.
  4. Pour in the measured water from the cup noodle container, then add all the powdered soup and dehydrated flakes.
  5. Add the noodles, enoki mushrooms torn into bite-sized pieces, sliced onion, and 1/2 package of soft tofu. Break the tofu into large chunks with a spoon.
  6. When the stew comes to a rolling boil, crack in 1 egg, garnish with green onion, and continue boiling for about 3 minutes until the egg is cooked to your liking.
  1. Prepare the cup noodle container with water, and in an earthenware pot, sauté green onion to make scallion oil.
  2. Add gochugaru to make chili oil, then add the prepared water, cup noodle soup, and noodles.
  3. Add mushrooms, onion, soft tofu, and egg, and bring to a boil to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When stir-frying gochugaru, if the heat is too high it can burn easily and turn bitter, so quickly cook over medium-low heat.
  • At the end, taste the broth and if it's too salty, add water; if bland, add a little fish sauce or soup soy sauce to adjust.
  • If you want to shorten the cooking process, you can skip the step of stir-frying green onion and gochugaru and just add water directly to boil.
