  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g fresh or dried ramen noodles
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (spicy Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 boiled eggs, halved
  • Fresh green onions, chopped
  • Seaweed strips or nori for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for extra heat

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the chicken or vegetable broth. Add the gochujang, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the minced garlic and ginger, allowing the flavors to meld for about 10 minutes.
  2. While the broth simmers, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the mushrooms to the boiling water to soften. Drain and set aside.
  3. Pour the cooked noodles and mushrooms into the steaming spicy broth. Stir gently to coat the noodles with the flavorful soup. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or gochujang if desired. Ladle the hot ramen into bowls.
  4. Top each bowl with halved boiled eggs, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Garnish with seaweed strips or nori. For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes to suit your spicy craving.

Notes

  • Store leftover spicy Korean ramen in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the broth and add fresh noodles and toppings before serving for best texture and flavor.
  • Customize toppings by adding sliced carrots, bok choy, or beef slices to make the dish more filling.
