Instructions

1

Arrange the Pot

Arrange sausage slices, kimchi, and baked beans in sections around a wide shallow pot. Add gochujang in the center and pour broth over everything.

2

Bring to a Boil

Place the pot over medium high heat and bring the broth to a rolling boil. Do not stir yet as the separate ingredients will combine naturally once the liquid heats up.

3

Add the Noodles

Add the ramen noodles to the boiling broth and push them down to submerge. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes stirring occasionally until noodles are just tender and broth is flavorful.

Add Cheese and Serve
