To prepare, bring about two cups of water to a boil in a pot. Add the dried noodles, soup base, and vegetable flakes to the boiling water. Stir occasionally and cook for about three to four minutes, or until the noodles are tender. The spiciness of the broth can be adjusted by using less or more of the soup base. Some people like to add fresh ingredients like shrimp, mussels, or a raw egg during the last minute of cooking for added flavor and texture.
