Park Eun-young's Ma La Ramen

A premium Ma La ramen that blends ramen soup and Ma La sauce to maximize depth of broth and numbing umami flavor.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who find delivery Ma La tang too expensive and want a quick, deep, and rich Ma La flavor at home using ramen.
  • Anyone needing a luxurious, meat-filled, numbing, fiery ramen to instantly relieve stress.

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • ramen 1 pack
  • ramen soup 1/2 pack
  • Ma La sauce 1.5 tablespoons
  • shabu-shabu beef (or ground meat) 80g
  • green onion 2 bunches
  • nappa cabbage leaves 2 pieces
  • bean sprouts 1 handful
  • sugar 1 teaspoon

Recipe 🍳

  1. Add all prepared ingredients—meat and vegetables like napa cabbage and green onions—to a pot and sauté generously until they just begin to wilt.
  2. Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients, then bring to a boil. Add the ramen soup and the measured amount of Ma La sauce together to create a rich Ma La tang base.
  3. Add a small amount of sugar to balance the salty edge of the Ma La sauce and naturally enhance the savory finish of the broth.
  4. Add the ramen noodles and crisp bean sprouts, then simmer until the noodles reach the desired chewiness. Serve in a bowl to finish.
  1. Sauté meat and various vegetables generously in a pot.
  2. Add water and mix in ramen soup and Ma La sauce to boil.
  3. Add a small amount of sugar to smooth out the flavor and enhance the finish.
  4. Add ramen noodles and bean sprouts, cook until properly done, and serve.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When making Ma La ramen at home, avoid using plain water with just sauce—this won’t yield deep flavor. Instead, mix in about half a pack of ramen soup to establish a proper base so the broth doesn’t feel flat.
  • When adding sugar, use only a tiny pinch—just enough to balance the heat and numbness without letting sweetness dominate the flavor.
