Before adding water

Open the lid only as far as the package indicates.
Remove seasoning packets and add them in the printed order.
Check whether any sauce should be added after draining.

Add hot water

Pour hot water to the line printed inside the cup. Close the lid and wait for the number of minutes shown on the package. Use caution when carrying the cup because both the water and steam are very hot.

Soup versus stir-fried noodles

Most cup ramyeon keeps the water as soup. Stir-fried products such as Buldak often require draining most of the water before mixing in sauce. Look for drain holes or a draining illustration before pouring anything away.
