Nearly 1 pm, got two loads of laundries done and still heaps left since the weather hasn’t been nice in the last few days, little zonni is in childcare while baby no.2 is sleeping, a good time for a lunch break. Staring at the toys all over the place and a pair of socks on the coffee table, I really have no thoughts of picking them up.
On such a cloudy cold winter day, a bowl of warm Korean Instant noodle soup with some kick would be lovely. Here I would love to share a quick easy recipe, which belongs to my cooking cheat sheet when there’s nothing fast and warm enough to be put into my stomach. I call fancy instant noodle Korean style.
Simple reason of the name is because this recipe is inspired by the hot noodle soup with a spicy sauce I had at a Korean place plus the old Korean series I watched back to my single life hundreds of years ago haha.
Caution, this Korean Instant Noodle Soup is going to be really hot!
Keep warm and enjoy the noodle soup!

Korean Instant Noodle Soup
A practical family recipe for Korean Instant Noodle Soup with ingredients, method steps, and serving notes.
Ingredients
- A pack of "2 Minute Noodle" (whichever flavour you like but I used chicken or for bigger flavour, get chilli beef instant noodles from a Chinese supermarket)
- 1 Egg
- 3 pieces of frozen beef meat balls (can be bought from any Asian supermarket and be kept for months in your freezer)
- Some chopped (frozen) red chillies (I always buy loads when in season and roughly chop them, then save in the freezer for up to 1-2 months)
- Some kimchi (optional)
- Spring onions (optional. I got $1 a bunch and planted them in the backyard and they grow FOREVER!)
Instructions
- Boil 2-3 cups of water
- Once its boiling, add the flavour sachet and meat balls
- When the soup is boiling again, add the noodle, wait till the noodles are all soaked in the hot soup, quickly crack the egg on top of the noodle.
- Turn the heat down to low, put the lid on and boil for another 2-3 minutes
- Stir occasionally in case the noodles are stuck at the bottom of the pan
- Stir into the chilies and let the soup boil for another minute and put the lid back on
- Open the lid, smell the yummy Korean instant noodle soup, sprinkle some spring onions on top and its ready to enjoy.
