To prepare, simply open the lid and add hot water to the fill line indicated on the bowl. Close the lid and let it steep for about three minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir well to combine the seasoning packet with the broth. Some people like to add a boiled egg, some chopped scallions, or a drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor and texture. It's designed for ease and speed.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other instant noodle bowls, this one stands out for its authentic kimchi flavor profile, which is both spicy and fermented.
