Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- ramen 1 pack
- pork belly as needed
- cucumber as needed
- egg 1
- tomato as needed
- green onion a little
- seaweed powder a little
- soy sauce 0.8 cup
- vinegar 0.6 cup
- sugar 0.7 cup
- minced ginger 10g
- sesame oil 2 tablespoons
- ice as needed
Recipe 🍳
- In a bowl, combine 0.8 cup soy sauce, 0.6 cup vinegar, 0.7 cup sugar, 10g minced ginger, and 2 tablespoons sesame oil. Mix thoroughly to prepare the tangy cold ramen dressing.
- Cut cucumber into slightly thick slices to enjoy a crisp texture, then soak in cold water for a short while before draining and removing excess moisture.
- Remove the egg’s stringy parts, fry a thin omelet in a pan, slice it thinly, and cut tomato and green onion into suitable garnish sizes.
- Sear pork belly in a hot pan with a pinch of black pepper until the juices evaporate and a rich aroma develops.
- Boil ramen noodles in water for about 5 minutes—slightly longer than usual—to ensure they become fully soft and chewy.
- Immediately rinse the cooked noodles under cold running water, rubbing them vigorously with your hands to remove starch, then cool completely and shake off excess water.
- Arrange the noodles in a circular shape in a serving bowl. Top with cucumber, egg omelet, tomato, green onion, seaweed powder, grilled pork belly, ice cubes, and pour the sauce over everything. Serve immediately.
- Mix soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, minced ginger, and sesame oil to make a sweet-and-sour sauce.
- Slice cucumber and egg omelet, fry pork belly until crispy, and boil noodles for 5 minutes before rinsing with cold water.
- Place chilled noodles and toppings in a bowl, add ice, and pour the homemade sauce over the top. Toss well and enjoy.
Cooking tips 💡
- The minced ginger in the sauce perfectly balances the tanginess with a subtle richness and adds a refined aroma—avoid skipping it if possible.
- Ramen noodles contract quickly when exposed to cold sauce and ice, so boil them 30 seconds to 1 minute longer than usual to achieve a tender yet chewy texture.
- Unlike regular ramen where you drink the broth, this version is meant to be mixed like a cold noodle salad—adjust the sauce quantity according to your taste preference.
