Ingredients

• Ramen noodles (2 packs)
• Cabbage (1 cup, chopped)
• Carrots (1 cup, sliced)
• Green onions (3 stalks, chopped)

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the mixture is fragrant, usually taking about 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the soy sauce and oyster sauce to the pot, followed by the chicken broth and water. Bring the liquid to a boil.
4. Add the seafood mix, green onions, carrots, and cabbage to the pot. Allow the soup to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through.
