Ingredients

1 servings

1 g reen onion/scallion
1 package instant ramen noodles
500 ml water ((about 2 cups))
¼ (5-oz) can albacore tuna (preferably packed in olive oil)
2 Tbsp kimchi ((optional; plus more for topping/serving; cut into bite-size pieces))
1 large egg (50 g w/o shell)
½ Tbsp toasted sesame oil
½ tsp toasted white sesame seeds ((optional))

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients. I use an electric pot for this recipe and others in the 10-Minute Meal series. You could also use a regular saucepan on the stove.
Cut 1 green onion/scallion diagonally into thin slices.
Add 500 ml water to an electric pot or saucepan and cover with a lid. Bring it to a boil on medium-high heat or Mode II (600W) on the electric pot.
Once boiling, sprinkle in the seasoning packet(s) from the ramen package.
Drain ¼ (5-oz) can albacore tuna (preferably packed in olive oil) and add to the pot. Mix well and bring it to a boil again, uncovered.
Once boiling, add 1 package instant ramen noodles. Set a timer for 5 minutes. Using chopsticks, submerge the dried noodles in the simmering soup, flip them once, and loosen them up. When boiling strong, reduce the heat to medium heat or Mode I (250W).
After 2 minutes, add 2 Tbsp kimchi and stir.
Crack 1 large egg (50 g w/o shell) onto the ramen noodles and let it cook in the simmering soup without touching it, about 2–3 minutes. Right before the timer is up, drizzle in ½ Tbsp toasted sesame oil.
Sprinkle on some sliced green onions. When the 5-minute timer beeps, transfer the noodles and soup to a large bowl.
Sprinkle with ½ tsp toasted white sesame seeds and extra green onion on top. Serve with extra kimchi on top or in a side dish. Enjoy! This recipe is best consumed as soon as you prepare it, so I don't recommend keeping leftovers.
