🍽️ A hearty ramen recipe that maximizes the refreshing taste of seafood ramen by adding thinly sliced fish cakes, like ramen noodles, and crisp bean sprouts, with the option to add a spicy kick with mala sauce.
About 600ml of water (500ml PET bottle + half cup)
1-2 tbsp mala sauce (optional)
Recipe 🍳
Wash the bean sprouts thoroughly in water and drain. Finely chop the green onions and Cheongyang chili peppers.
Cut the square fish cakes in half, then thinly slice them to match the thickness of the ramen noodles for a natural blend.
Pour about 600ml of water into a pot, add the ramen's dried vegetable mix, kelp, and powder soup base, then turn on the heat.
Once the water boils, add the thinly sliced fish cakes, the prepared noodles, and bean sprouts all at once.
Since the fish cakes and bean sprouts can dilute the broth's flavor, add 1 tablespoon of soup soy sauce to supplement the seasoning and add depth, then boil together.
When the noodles and ingredients are cooked to your liking, add the chopped green onions and Cheongyang chili peppers and boil for another moment to finish.
If you want to enjoy a spicy and tingly mala flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons of mala sauce to your preference just before turning off the heat or after serving in a bowl and mix.
Thinly slice fish cakes like noodles, wash bean sprouts, and finely chop green onions and chili peppers.
Boil water with ramen soup base and kelp in a pot, then add noodles, fish cakes, bean sprouts, and 1 tbsp soup soy sauce and boil.
Finish by adding green onions and chili peppers, and mix with mala sauce to taste for a spicy flavor.
Cooking tips 💡
Slicing the fish cakes thinly like noodles, rather than adding them whole, makes them easier to eat with the noodles and allows their savory flavor to infuse better into the broth.
Since the added ingredients (fish cakes, bean sprouts) are plentiful, the broth can easily become bland. A tip is to add a little soup soy sauce or seasoning to enhance the umami.
Adding 1-2 spoonfuls of store-bought mala sauce can easily create a unique ramen with a professional mala tang flavor.
