YMMV but cooking noodles for 3 minutes then draining isn’t that much work. I don’t even drain in a colander anymore. I just use my chopsticks to pluck them outta the water. I’ve made Momofuku noodles while answering questions on a Zoom call. No video of course.

eat it out of the small pot you cooked it in, just like they do in the K-dramas.

If I’m going to cook, I’m going to fucking cook, because I enjoy it. If I’m going to take the time to boil water and cook and drain pasta, I might as well make fried rice or an omelette or a sandwich or whatever I’m in the mood for.
Then why did you bother wasting all that time buying the MJD noodles? Some people who have calls during the day don’t have time to make a bolognese or souffle for lunch so we stick with these instant noodles.

Because I thought they were instant and due to the David Chang connection would be way better than the usual disgusting stuff I’ve encountered for free at various jobs.
Putting water in a pot and putting it on the stove, my brain’s already switched from work mode to cooking mode and I don’t want to switch back.
You really should learn to multitask at least a little bit…

It’s worked out fine for me so far.
Might want to get some therapy for that.

A guy walks into a psychiatrist’s office and says, hey doc, my brother’s crazy! He thinks he’s a chicken. Then the doc says, why don’t you turn him in? Then the guy says, I would but I need the eggs.
For eggs substitute a Silicon Valley salary.
Much ado about nothing…
But I’ve added Momofuku noodles to my shopping list.

So you never come home late-ish and say to yourself “good thing I have this pesto/marinara/mushroom sauce in the fridge, so I can boil up some pasta and make a quick-ish meal”?

Now I don’t have those. But some butter, cheese will work.
In a pinch, soy sauce and furikake. I’m not proud!

And little sesame oil 
You put soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger on it, and I’d eat a stick.

Only if it’s hot sesame oil.
