Notes:

The seasoning sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 months, making it perfect for quick, future meals.

For a milder or deeper flavour profile, the gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) is completely optional but highly recommended.

Be careful not to overcook the noodles during the boiling stage; cooking them to only 80 percent done ensures they finish perfectly in the spicy sauce.

If the noodles appear too dry while stir-frying in the sauce, add an extra tablespoon or two of water to achieve the desired glossy consistency.

This versatile dish can easily be customised by adding extra toppings such as sausages, tofu, cheese, or your favourite stir-fried vegetables.

Prepare Sauce
Combine the chicken stock powder, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, oil, and optional gochujang in a small bowl and mix thoroughly.

Boil Noodles
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the instant ramen noodles until they are 80 percent cooked, then drain the water, retaining about 2 to 3 tablespoons in the pan.

Stir-Fry Noodles
Reduce the heat to low, add the prepared seasoning sauce to the noodles, and mix thoroughly, adding an extra splash of water if the noodles look too dry.

Fry Egg
In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil and fry the egg until the whites are set and the edges are beautifully crispy, keeping the yolk runny.

Garnish and Serve
Transfer the spicy noodles to a serving bowl, top with the fried egg, and garnish generously with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds before serving immediately.
