Bring all 1000 ml of water to a vigorous boil before adding the seasoning packets and 100 g rice cakes. Boiling the rice cakes for 1 minute first gives them time to soften before the noodles are ready. Add the noodle blocks and loosen them gently with chopsticks for 2 minutes, then stir in 100 g kimchi when the curls are about halfway separated. Lower the heat to medium, crack in two unbeaten eggs, and add the sliced green onion after 30 seconds. The cloudy egg whites show that the eggs have begun to set while the yolks remain soft. Turn off the heat about 1 minute before the package time, place the cheese on top, and transfer everything to bowls immediately. Residual heat finishes the noodle centers without leaving them swollen or mushy. The bowl is ready when the rice cakes are tender, the cheese has started to melt into the red broth, and the noodles still resist slightly when bitten.

Instructions
Read the steps as a cooking flow: prep, heat, seasoning, doneness control, and finish.
- 1Heat
Slice 1 green onion thinly, cut 100 g kimchi into bite-size pieces, and separate any rice cakes that are stuck together.
Keep the eggs and cheese nearby because the cooking moves quickly once the noodles go in.
- 2Control
Pour 1000 ml water into a pot and bring it to a full boil over high heat.
Once boiling vigorously, prepare to add the rice cakes first.
- 3Finish
Add the powder seasoning, dried garnish packet, and rice cakes first.
Boil for about 1 minute over medium-high heat so the rice cakes start softening while the broth turns evenly seasoned and red.
- 4Heat
Add the 2 noodle blocks and boil for 2 minutes, loosening them gently with chopsticks.
When the curls are halfway separated, add the kimchi and push it into the broth so it warms without overcooking.
- 5Heat
Lower the heat to medium and crack in the 2 eggs without beating them.
After 30 seconds, add the sliced green onion and cook until the whites turn cloudy while the yolks still look soft.
- 6Finish
Turn off the heat about 1 minute earlier than the package time, then lay 1 slice of cheese on top.
Transfer to bowls right away so residual heat finishes the noodles without making them mushy.
