Notes

As written, this is a good, filling, and cheap meal.
One can add cooked protein, chicken, beef, pork, or tofu.
When I can find it,  I use sliced back bacon that I've baked off in the oven with a bulgogi glaze.
I also kick up the soup with a bit of sriracha or chili crisp, then a dash of acid in the form of citrus or vinegar. 
IF you are going whole hog and adding bacon as char siu, use the bacon fat to saute the aromatics (garlic, ginger, onion, pepper) and then add to the soup broth to cook with the noodles
