   • Bring a separate pot of water to a boil.
   • Add the instant noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes.

   • Add the pre-cooked instant noodles to the pot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to soak up the flavors of the broth.

4. Serve:

   • Ladle the soup into bowls.
   • Stir in the seasoning packet from the instant noodles, adjusting to taste.
   • Top each bowl with fried shallots for added flavor and crunch.
