  • 1 pack instant ramen (e.g. Shin ramen)
  • handful veggies of your choice
  • sausage

Instructions

  • Cut the scallions into large pieces. Prep your spices as well (optional)
  • Wash and cut your veggies of choice. I used a bit of bok choy and napa cabbage
  • In a small pot, heat up some oil with scallion pieces. Heat on medium low
    Frying green onions
  • Once the scallion is frying in the oil, keep the heat on low to continue frying the scallions. Once you can smell scallion oil flavour, turn off the heat, take the scallions out. Put in your spices, set aside.

  • Slightly reheat your oil on low once there are a mix of small and big bubbles around the spices, take it off the heat. Use a sieve over the bowl and pour the hot oil onto your noodles
  • Mix everything together and eat right away.
