I made this bad boy in the microwave

I read the “Microwave” directions for Instant Lunch/Cup O Noodles, and it says to “boil water in a separate container, then add to noodles”. Nobody wants to do that, so those directions are bullshit. Here’s how you do it:

1. Peel back top of cup halfway, fill water to the line - I know this is actually two steps, but you’re smart.
2. Put paper towel under cup in microwave - The water might bubble out a little. Better safe than sorry. If it doesn’t make a mess, congratulations.
3. Microwave for THREE (3) MINUTES - That’s pretty important.
4. Peel lid completely off, stir -Two steps again, but bear with me. Stirring is important.
5. Put back in microwave for 45 seconds - Keeps the noodles from being too stiff.
6. Eat - Optional.
