Place uncooked Shin Ramyun instant ramen into a microwavable bowl. Add the seasoning packet and dried toppings.
Pour just enough water to cover the ramen. Microwave for 2 minutes 30 seconds until the noodles are halfway cooked.
Top with chopped seafood stick or any other topping you like. Make a small well at the centre of the bowl and crack an egg.
Half the American cheese slices and layer on top of the noodles (do not cover the egg).
Cover and cook in the microwave for another 2 minutes & 30 seconds until the egg has been cooked and the cheese melted.
Garnish with chopped scallions. Mix everything until creamy and enjoy!
