I never really liked eating instant ramen because the artificial taste of the broth or sauces would become overbearing after a few bites. Despite this, I do like the texture of Korean instant noodles, so I do not mind taking a few more minutes to elevate these noodles. This dish only takes an additional five to ten minutes more than the original time it takes to prepare packaged noodles, but these taste at least a hundred times better and are more satisfying.
