Ingredients

• 2 packs of ramen noodles
• 1 block of soft tofu (sundubu)
• 4 cups of water
• 2 tbsp of vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp of gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 1 tbsp of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)

• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup of chopped mushrooms
• 1/2 cup of bean sprouts
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 egg (optional)
• Salt to taste

Directions

1. Start by boiling the ramen noodles in a pot of boiling water for about 3 minutes or until tender. Drain the noodles and set aside.
2. In a separate pot, heat up the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
3. Add the gochujang and gochugaru to the pot and stir until well combined. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the mixture becomes fragrant.
4. Add 4 cups of water to the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the chopped mushrooms and bean sprouts and let simmer for 5-7 minutes.
5. Gently add the block of soft tofu to the pot, being careful not to break it apart. Let the tofu simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
6. Add the cooked ramen noodles to the pot and stir to combine all ingredients. Let simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Crack the egg directly into the pot, if using, and let cook for 2-3 minutes or until the white is set but the yolk is still runny.
8. Season with salt to taste and add chopped green onions to the pot.
9. Serve hot in individual bowls, garnished with a drizzle of sesame oil (optional).
