Samyang : 2X Spicy Hot Chicken :: Spiciness Level (0-10) : 10

The famous (or infamous) spicy noodles!!! 

Is it spicy? YES.

Is your mouth on fire? YES.

Will you need milk? YES.

Would I eat it again? HELL YES. (Get it? It’s firey...ok I’ll stop.)

These noodles are not for the faint of heart. For those of you brave enough to try it, this one is best made on the stove top.

First, you’ll need a pot and colander. 

Put your noodles inside and add enough water to cover the noodles.

Turn your stove on HIGH and let the noodles cook.

Once the noodles are soft, drain the water*** -- this is an important step, you don’t want to drain it completely where there’s no water left, you want to drain it to the point where it’s just dripping and then STOP!

Put the noodles back into the pot. If you drained too much water out, add a tablespoon of water back in (preferably hot water). 

The stove should still be on, but change it to MEDIUM heat. Add the spicy sauce (big red packet). 

Stir! The bit of water helps spread the sauce. The heat helps the sauce stick to the noodles even better.

Once everything is thoroughly mixed, place it into a bow, and top it off with the seaweed/sesame packet. 

Nongshim : Potato Noodle Soup :: Spiciness Level (0-10) : 0

I have never had potato noodles before and after trying this noodle, you’ll wonder why you didn’t try it SOONER! 

This is another noodle where a stovetop is BEST, but can be done with a microwave. 

Here’s how I do it on the stove:

Grab a pot and place your noodles inside.

Add water, but don’t cover the noodles completely (see photo above). This is important because if you add too much water, the end result will be bland broth -- no one wants that. 

Empty the seasoning contents into the pot. (Do this NOW! If you wait, the noodles will boil in plain water vs. seasoned water.)

Turn on your stove to HIGH and let the noodles cook. 

When the noodles are soft enough, start separating the noodles. 

Turn OFF your stove and pour into a bowl (be careful!). 

It’s fricken hot, so don’t eat it right away (I know it smells delicious and you’ll want to, but trust me...don’t do it). 

Indomie : Mi Goreng Fried Noodles :: EXTRAS : FRIED EGG

There’s an egg on the packaging -- of course you need an egg!

Here’s how I got a picture perfect fried egg:

Using the same pot (right after cooking your noodles), add some oil on HIGH heat. 

Once the oil is heated, crack an egg into the pot. (Immediately, the outer edges of the egg white will start to cook.)

Place the lid on the pot.

Turn down the heat to MEDIUM. 

Wait 2-3 minutes.

Open the lid and turn OFF the heat. You’ll have a perfect light pink film over your eggs. (If there is no film, go ahead and keep the stove on, put back on the lid, and give it some extra time -- don’t forget to check on it!)

Place the egg on top of your noodles (optional: sprinkle black pepper on top of the egg).
