2. Boil your noodles according to package instructions.

3. Prepare the vegetables (try to get them uniform).

4. Make Jin's special topping sauce: chop the onion, spring onion, and chili and place them into a mixing bowl. Then add the minced garlic, red chili flakes, sugar, sesame seeds, soy sauce, soup soy sauce, water and sesame oil. Give it a good mix to incorporate all ingredients.

5. Take a pan and lightly oil it so that you can sauté the vegetables. You can do them separately or like Jin, all together. Add a sprinkle of salt and stir them for 1-2 minutes. Now, Jin actually just threw the veggies into the broth. You can do this or top the noodles with them after you plate them with the broth. It's up to you.

6. When the noodles are cooked. Drain them and plate them in bowls. Ladle the broth into the bowls. Top dish with Jin's special topping sauce and kimchi. You can also top the dish with egg jidan, crushed or cut seaweed sheet and spring onions.
