This works by taking the sweet/salty flavors of chicken & adding:
Protein/Body; Egg
Fresh/Sharp; scallions
Smoky/Richness; bacon
Sour/Spicy/Umami; kimchi
Lets cook! 🍽️
(1) Egg
1/2c kimchi
(2) Scallions
(2) Packages Chicken Ramen
(2) Slices thick cut hickory smoked bacon
2. Meanwhile, slice your bacon into lardon. Then thinly slice the white end of the onion, and cut the green parts on a 4-5degree diagonal.
4. Pro-tip: tilt your pan, occasionally, so all the bacon collects in the rendered fat and crisps up evenly.
6. While your egg and bacon are cooking, unpackaged your noodles and open the seasoning packs.
8. Drop your noodles in the boiling water (that your egg was in). Stir occasionally to break up the noodles.
10. Add the kimchi and white scallion ends and stir into the bacon grease. Turn off the burner.
12. Remove the eggs from the ice water and peel under running water or dunking in the ice water bowl to remove the shell.
14. Now stack your kimchi on a remaining empty corner. Finally, add the scallion greens to the last open space.

I'm increasingly interested in the idea of "personal moats" in the context of careers.

Moats should be:
- Hard to learn and hard to do (but perhaps easier for you)
- Skills that are rare and valuable
- Legible
- Compounding over time
- Unique to your own talents & interests https://t.co/bB3k1YcH5b
