Korean Spicy Ramen Noodles Recipe

Ramen noodles | Korean ramen | Ramen noodles recipe | Spicy ramen noodles | Korean ramen recipe | Instant ramen recipe Have you ever experimented with a new instant noodles flavour and did not like the seasoning that came with it? Well I sure have! I have a bunch of ramen packets sitting in my pantry because the seasoning was too spicy for me (x2 spicy ramen made me cry 😭). So to use them up, I created a version of my favourite Korean buldak ramen but made it less spicy. This seasoning tastes similar to Korean fire chicken ramen/Korean Buldak ramen (not exact but similar). The gochujang adds the right flavour but if you don’t have it, you can use red chilli paste or any chilli sauce. The taste will change a bit but it will still be delicious! Try this recipe the next time you crave for Korean ramen but don’t have the seasoning mix on hand. I’m sure you’ll love it ❤️ _______________________________________ 🛒 MY AMAZON STOREFRONT - (You’ll find links to my cookware, crockery, kitchen and pantry essentials in my Amazon store) 🥘 MY COOKWARE Grey Ceramic Pan: Wok: Stainless Steel Frypan: Cast Iron Skillet: Copper Saucepan: 🎶 Music used from Epidemic sound - 🍱 Instagram: _______________________________________ *RECIPE* INGREDIENTS: (1 serving) 1 packet instant ramen noodles --Seasoning Sauce-- 1 tsp chicken stock powder 1 tsp red pepper flakes 2 tsp soy sauce 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp sugar (add more if needed) 2 tsp oil (Optional)1 tsp red pepper paste/ Gochujang PROCESS: 1. Keep required amount of water for boiling 2. Mix the seasoning sauce and keep it ready 3. Add instant ramen noodles to boiling water and cook until 80% cooked through 4. Drain most of water and retain about 2-3 tbsp in the pan 5. Keep the flame at low and mix in the seasoning thoroughly 6. If the noodles get too dry while mixing, add 1-2 tbsp water and continue to mix 7. Pour the noodles into a bowl and fry an egg with some oil in the same pan 8. Top the noodles with fried egg, green onions and sesame seeds _______________________________________ SUBSTITUTES: • No garlic powder or onion powder? You can add fresh garlic and white part of green onion. However when adding fresh ingredients the sauce will have a shorter shelf life and storing a large batch is not ideal. At best it will last 30 days. • No red pepper paste/gochujang? Substitute with red chilli paste, red chilli sauce or skip it. It won’t taste similar to buldak ramen but it will still taste good. • No chicken stock powder? This ingredient is not optional as it adds the main flavour. You can use chicken bouillon cube, chicken powder or any plain chicken flavouring powder. • No red pepper flakes? Crushed red chilli flakes can also be used _______________________________________ TIPS: • Use powders rather than fresh ingredients for a longer shelf life. This will allow you to make a large batch of the sauce and refrigerate it • Don’t overcook the noodles or it will turn mushy • Alter chilli flakes as per your spice tolerance • The seasoning sauce also works well with stir fries, soups and marinades _______________________________________ Disclaimer: Some of the above links are Amazon affiliate links and I receive a small commission with each sale at no extra cost to you.
