Keep the seaweed in the draw along with a bottle of sesame seeds.
Soft boil the egg in advance, they keep for a couple of days, and you can make the meat in advance too. You can take them to work and keep them in the fridge at work and use the hot broth to warm up the thinly sliced meat and egg.

Nissin Spicy Seafood is nice too, I usually pick a box of this from loon fung.
Amazon is a bit expensive for this but it is only 22 a box on loon fung.

Made a pork stirfry with Mama Spicy noodles, also yummy, but Shin still tops my list.
Since I came back from Japan I have been boiling the sauce in a pan separate from the noodles, another pan of hot water just for the noodles. You get a much cleaner looking broth and more tasty noodles.
Add in a soft boil egg and then some home made char siu and a handful of spring onions, sprinkle with some sesame seeds, it turn a meh bowl into something presentable.
Since the meat is already done, the whole thing can be made in about 10 mins here.
This is the kind of thing I like to do. A bit of heat can also be added (from a sauce or from a fresh chilli) and you can also add a squeeze of lime juice or coriander as well.
Can also get a hot chicken thigh or leg or something from most supermarkets for about 70p for a nice addition, just shred the meat off that.

I've not tried the cups, but the packets of sesame flavoured ones are very very good.

Just bought 12 shincups off amazon for £9 thanks to this thread(used to eat a lot of Bombay badboys back in the day)
(They’re not fishy or anything are they ? I hate fish flavourings !)
They DO have Anchovies in them though - which when alergic to fish, is not a good thingNo, they are not fishy in the slightest. The taste of heat and MSG (In a good way

They do? Cant see it in the ingredients...
Wouldn't surprise me though, I've put them in a beef stew before, they are great for that MSG kick!

Just stocked up on some shincups for work, probably last not even a week. I've tried the ko-lee chicken noodles and they are alright, they do stink the office out though lol

There is something odd about certain chicken instant noodles. The smell is almost like a bitter 'cleaning product' type chemical smell.
I don't really go for chili or spicy with noodles. I like the them, just not in my noodles. Prefer a nice full savoury taste. Currently I like these best:
