Cheesy, flavorful, and a little spicy—this ramen hot pot will warm you up on a cold day.
Recipe background: I won a monitor campaign for Ebara's 'Puchitto Nabe' soup base. I wanted to create an easy ramen hot pot using budget-friendly ingredients. My family loved it.

Steps

1

If using garlic chives or green onions, cut them into 3/4-inch (about 2 cm) pieces.
2

Quickly boil the ramen noodles in hot water to remove any excess starch or kansui (alkaline flavor).
3

Heat a small amount of oil (not listed in ingredients) in a frying pan and cook the ground meat. If using sliced pork, lightly coat it with potato starch before cooking.
4

When the meat changes color, add the kimchi hot pot soup base and water. Once it comes to a boil, add the bean sprouts and garlic chives (or green onions).
5

Add the noodles and cheese, and cook until the cheese melts to your liking. You can cover the pan if you like.
6

Top with black pepper, chili oil, or crunchy chili oil as desired, and enjoy!
