  2. Add the soup powder, then the noodles.
  3. Boil for 4 minutes more, then serve.

Pack math is the single-pack amount times the number of packs. When Nongshim and Ottogi give figures for several packs (Shin Ramyun, Jin Ramen), they work out at 80–85% of that, because less water boils away per pack. Start with less; you can always add hot water.
