Add the shrimp heads, baby octopus, crab, chopped tomato, green onion, and sliced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Add the ramyun noodles, rice cakes, shrimp, and Chicken Tikka Masala Momo Dumplings. Cover the pan and cook for about 3 minutes.

Return the baby octopus to the pan and add your choice of vegetables. Continue cooking until the shrimp turn pink and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Garnish and Serve
Top the ramyun with the crispy egg, sesame seeds, and sliced fresh red chili. Enjoy immediately while the broth and noodles are hot.
