Notes
For extra richness, use chicken broth instead of water. You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach. Adjust gochujang for your preferred spice level. A drizzle of sesame oil at the end adds a wonderful aroma. For a vegetarian option, omit shrimp and use vegetable broth and a plant-based ramen packet, then add tofu or extra veggies.
