Save time in the kitchen: Read the instructions thoroughly, then gather and prep all your ingredients before cooking! ! Learn Prepping Tips.
Boil the Noodles: Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan on high heat. When the water is boiling, add only the noodles from the packet.
Boil noodles for 5 minutes, drain, and set aside in a small mixing bowl. Then clean out the sauce pot of remaining noodle scraps.
Saute the Vegetables: Heat the saucepan with oil on medium heat. Then add the mushrooms, occasionally stirring to brown the edges.
Add the garlic, combine well, and cook for another 30 seconds. Then add the shrimp or seafood mix.
Stir occasionally until the lines on the shrimp turn slightly pink, about 30 seconds; you do not want to overcook the shrimp.
Make the Sauce: Add the gochujang, brown sugar, sesame oil, black vinegar, seasoning packet, and dehydrated vegetable packet to the pan and combine well.
Add the noodles, water, and spinach and combine well. Then remove from the heat immediately when the spinach is wilted, and plate up in a bowl.
Fry the Egg: Heat a small frying pan or the cleaned-out saucepan on medium-high heat with oil. Then fry the egg undisturbed.
Allow the egg to brown along the egg white's edges. The egg will be done when the egg white is cooked through. You will see dried-up sunken dips where the bubbles were on the egg white.
Plate Up: Add the egg to the plated noodles and garnish with sesame seeds.

Notes
Egg Frying Pan - I specifically bought a 5-inch egg frying pan to quickly and easily make fried eggs that hold their circular shape. It's not necessary but convenient. Plus, it takes up less space on the stove and is easy to clean up.
