Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan.
Add seasoning that comes with the instant noodles and give it a stir. Then, add noodles.
Followed by sardines. Boil for barely 2 minutes. DO NOT overcook. Noodles should still be curly when done.
Turn off stove and transfer to a bowl. Garnish with toppings and squeeze lime over the noodles.
Serve immediately.
