In a pan, add the bacon strips and cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute or until they are almost cooked. If the bacon doesn't release enough oil, you can add a little bit of cooking oil.
Once the bacon has released some oil, add the white part of the green onion and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Set the bacon and green onions aside.
Return the pan to the heat and add 2 ½ cups of water. Bring it to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, add the Shin Ramen noodles, dried vegetable packet, and 1 tbsp of the seasoning packet (adjust according to how spicy you want it).
Cook the noodles for 4-5 minutes until they are fully cooked and tender.
Lower the heat to low. Create a well in the center of the noodles and crack the egg into it. Place the cheese slice halves on both sides of the egg.
Cover the pan with a lid and continue cooking for about 1-2 minutes or until the cheese has melted, and the egg whites are cooked. The yolk can be runny or cooked to your preference.
Sprinkle the green part of the green onion.
Serve the Shin Ramen with the egg and cheese immediately while it's still hot.

The Shin Ramen seasoning packet is quite salty and spicy. If you use more than the 1 tbsp called for in the recipe, add a little extra water to adjust the broth to your taste.
