  • Green onion 1/2 stalk
  • Garlic 3 cloves
  • Cheongyang chili pepper 2
  • Chili oil 2 tbsp
  • Gochugaru 1/2 tbsp
  • Water 400ml
  • Oyster sauce 1/2 tbsp
  • Sugar 1/2 tbsp

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the tofu into small dice, about 1.5cm on each side, for a soft texture.
  2. Finely chop the green onion and mince the garlic after crushing it with a knife.
  3. Cut the cheongyang chili peppers lengthwise into quarters, then finely chop them.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of chili oil in a pan, add the chopped green onion and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant.
  5. Add 1/2 tablespoon of gochugaru and stir-fry together to enhance the color and spiciness of the chili oil.
  6. When the spicy aroma rises, add the chopped cheongyang chili peppers and lightly stir-fry.
  7. Add 400ml of water and the dehydrated vegetable packet from the ramyeon, and boil over high heat.
  8. When the water comes to a boil, add the ramyeon noodles and the diced tofu, and boil, allowing the broth to reduce.
  9. Add 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce and 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, and simmer slowly to let the sauce evenly coat.
  10. When the liquid is nearly absorbed, turn off the heat, add the jjajang seasoning powder, and mix gently so the tofu does not break apart.
  1. Prepare the tofu and vegetables by cutting them into small pieces.
  2. Heat chili oil in a pan and stir-fry green onion, garlic, gochugaru, and cheongyang chili peppers in order to release aroma.
  3. Add 400ml water, vegetable packet, noodles, and tofu; bring to a boil.
  4. Season with oyster sauce and sugar, and reduce the liquid.
  5. Turn off the heat, add jjajang seasoning powder, and mix well to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since this recipe reduces the water without draining, it is important to measure the initial 400ml of water accurately.
  • After adding the tofu, stir gently with utensils to avoid breaking or mashing the pieces.
