Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a pot over medium-high. Add 8 oz sliced pork or chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1 cup kimchi and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant and slightly softened.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and both seasoning packets, then cook until noodles are tender, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in 3 sliced green onions and simmer for 1 minute. Serve hot, garnished with extra kimchi if desired.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and adjust with salt or pepper if needed, though the seasoning packet usually provides enough flavor.
