1-Getting started: Getting started with kimchi ramen is as easy as gathering your ingredients and following a few simple steps. Begin by stir-frying the mushrooms in vegetable oil for 3 minutes, which brings out their earthy flavor. Then, add the kimchi and cook for another 2 minutes to let its tanginess shine.

2-Next: Next, pour in the kimchi juice, stock, gochugaru, sugar, and sesame oil, then bring everything to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. While that’s happening, boil the instant noodles as per the package instructions, but be sure to discard the flavor packet to skip any artificial taste. Once done, transfer the noodles to a bowl, pour the hot broth over them, and top with the julienned green onion for a fresh finish.

3-For a twist: For a twist, you can boil the noodles directly in the broth to enhance the flavor even more. This method keeps things simple and quick, perfect for busy parents or students. Always taste and adjust as needed to make it your own.
