Step 1

1.To make the spicy sauce, place all ingredients into a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.

Step 2

2.For the soup, arrange the Spam, sausages, tofu, kimchi, mushrooms and baked beans in a large shallow pot or frying pan (you’ll want one that has a lid). Open up the instant noodles and keep the seasoning sachet for another time. Nestle the uncooked instant noodles into the ingredients in the pan. Spoon the spicy sauce on top of the noodles. Use the back of the spoon to make 2 shallow spaces in the ingredients and crack the eggs into those holes.

Step 3

3.Carefully pour the stock into the corner of the pot (so you don’t disturb your beautifully placed ingredients).Turn the heat to high and bring the stock to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow all the flavours to infuse. Now place the lid on top of the soup and cook for a further 4 minutes until the eggs are set.

Step 4

4.Remove the lid and top the sizzling soup with slices of cheese. Sprinkle over the spring onions. Serve the soup at the table so everyone can ladle the soup and ingredients into individual bowls as they eat.
