Cheese and Kimchi Ramen

Recipe by Connie Veneracion
Inspired by the kimcheese udon in Chapter 5 of Oh! Men! (translates to Oh! Noodles!), a manga series that my daughter, Alex, has been enjoying.
This cheese and kimchi ramen is seriously good.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack instant ramen any flavor
  • 2 slices cheese any variety that melts well (see notes after the recipe)
  • ½ cup kimchi with the juice
  • 2 slices cooked pork (see notes after the recipe)
  • fresh mushrooms shimeiji was used here but oyster mushrooms; enoki or shiitake will be just as good
  • finely sliced scallions
  • 1 egg yolk
  • chili flakes to garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small pan, cook the noodles and soup pack in boiling water according to package directions.
  • When the noodles are partially done, arrange the mushrooms, pork slices and the kimchi (cut into smaller pieces if large) along the edges of the pan.
  • Drizzle in the kimchi juice.
  • Continue boiling until the noodles and mushrooms are cooked through, and pork and kimchi are heated through.
  • With the heat off, lay the cheese slices on top and cover the pan just long enough for the cheese to melt.
  • Carefully slide the contents of the pan into a bowl.
  • Drop the egg yolk at the center of the bowl.
  • Garnish with sliced scallions and chili flakes.
  • Serve your cheese and kimchi noodles hot.
