Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • yutgaejang ramen 1 pack
  • seafood mix 1 cup
  • cabbage 1 piece
  • onion 1/4
  • green garlic chives 1 bunch
  • minced garlic 1 tablespoon
  • soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • mirin 1 tablespoon
  • oyster sauce 20g
  • sugar 1 teaspoon
  • slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) a little
  • water 500ml
  • vegetable oil as needed

Recipe 🍳

  1. Boil the ramen noodles in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water. Gently squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. Heat oil generously in a pan, spread the cooked noodles flat and even, then fry on both sides until golden and crispy to make ramen crackers.
  3. Place the fried ramen crackers on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil, then set aside in a serving plate.
  4. In another pan, heat oil and sauté minced garlic, sliced cabbage, and onion until fragrant.
  5. Once the vegetables begin to wilt slightly, add the seafood mix and stir-fry together with soy sauce, mirin, and oyster sauce.
  6. Pour in 500ml of water, bring to a boil, then add green garlic chives. Add about half of the ramen seasoning packet and adjust saltiness to taste.
  7. Add a pinch of sugar to enhance flavor, then gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry while continuously stirring until the sauce reaches a thick, glossy consistency.
  8. Pour the thick seafood yutgaejang sauce generously over the pre-prepared ramen crackers to finish.
  1. Boil ramen noodles, drain and remove excess water. Pan-fry them on both sides until crisp in oil, then place on a plate.
  2. Sauté garlic, vegetables, and seafood in a pan, then add water and season with soy sauce, mirin, oyster sauce, ramen seasoning, and sugar. Simmer until well blended.
  3. Add green garlic chives and thicken the sauce with cornstarch slurry. Pour the sauce over the crispy noodles.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When frying the noodles, use medium-low heat and cook slowly to avoid burning—this ensures the inside becomes crispy and nutty like toasted rice cakes.
  • Do not add all the ramen seasoning at once, as it may make the dish too salty—start with half and adjust to taste.
  • When adding the cornstarch slurry, reduce heat slightly and stir continuously, adding small amounts gradually to prevent lumps and achieve a smooth, thick sauce.
