Add the dried seasoning packet and 1/4 cup of the noodle-cooking water to the skillet. Mix everything well to create a flavorful sauce.

Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and add them to the sauce. Ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.

For an extra touch, quickly make a green onion fried egg by creating a ring of green onion in the skillet and cracking an egg in the middle. Place the fried egg on top of the noodles.
