1

Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.

2

In a pot, add 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

3

Once boiling, add 1 cup of kimchi and stir well. Cook for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Next, add 200 grams of tofu, cut into cubes, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the pot. Allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes.

In this step, add 2 tablespoons of gochujang and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce into the pot. Stir until both sauces are well combined and dissolved in the broth.

6

Now, it's time to add the 2 packages of instant noodles into the pot. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

While the noodles are cooking, chop 2 stalks of green onion. They will be added as a fresh garnish.

Once the noodles are cooked, ladle the noodle stew into serving bowls, and top with the chopped green onion for added freshness.
