🍽️ A super simple street food-style ramyeon bokkeum that uses half the ramyeon soup, reduces it down to a thick sauce with sugar and gochujang for a perfectly balanced flavor—no fish cake needed.
Pour 1 cup plus 1/2 of water into a pot, then add half of the ramyeon soup and half of the ramyeon seasoning mix.
Once the water comes to a boil, add the ramyeon noodles and, if using, finely chop the green onion and add it in.
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of gochujang, stirring well to blend the seasonings.
Continue boiling over high heat while stirring the noodles, reducing the broth until it becomes thick and sticky like ramyeon bokkeum.
If the broth reduces too quickly before the noodles are fully cooked due to strong heat, don’t panic—add a little more water gradually as needed.
Turn off the heat when the broth has mostly evaporated and the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
Use tongs or chopsticks to lift the noodles out first and arrange them neatly in a bowl.
Pour the remaining green onion bits and the reduced sauce from the pot over the noodles like a finishing glaze.
In a pot, combine 1 cup plus 1/2 water and half the ramyeon soup, bring to a boil, then add noodles and green onion.
Add 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 tablespoon gochujang, then simmer and reduce until the broth thickens.
Transfer noodles to a bowl first, then top with the remaining sauce and bits for a finished dish.
Cooking tips 💡
Chef Baek Jong-won recommends 'Jin Ramyeon Mild Flavor'—it’s not overly spicy but pairs perfectly with the ramyeon bokkeum seasoning.
Do not use the full amount of soup or the dish will be too salty—stick to about half.
The rate of evaporation varies depending on pot size and stove heat, so feel free to add more water if the noodles aren’t done yet and the broth is drying up.
For a restaurant-style presentation, remove the noodles first and arrange them before pouring the sauce over the top.
