A delicious street food dish featuring chewy noodles simmered in a homemade spicy sauce inspired by famous ramen-style spicy rice cake shops, generously seasoned with curry powder and black pepper.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who love the bold, spicy, and heavily peppered sauce of famous chain-style spicy rice cakes
  • People who prefer chewy noodles that soak up the full flavor of the sauce over traditional rice cakes
  • Those looking for a quick, satisfying carb-heavy late-night snack with minimal kitchen tools

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • handful of noodles
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 piece fish cake
  • 1/4 onion
  • handful of mung bean sprouts (or soybean sprouts)
  • generous amount of black pepper

Recipe 🍳

  1. In a wide pan or pot, add 3 cups of water and mix in 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon chicken stock, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons sugar.
  2. Stir until the seasonings dissolve completely, then add a handful of dry, unsoaked noodles directly into the broth.
  3. Turn on high heat and begin simmering the noodles for a total of 6 minutes, allowing them to cook and reduce gradually.
  4. After about 3 minutes of boiling, add 1 piece of fish cake, sliced thinly and lengthwise like ramen noodles.
  5. Add 1/4 sliced onion and a handful of mung bean sprouts (or soybean sprouts) to the pan and continue cooking until everything is tender.
  6. If the broth becomes too thick as the noodles release starch, add small amounts of water to adjust the consistency to a slightly thick, soup-like texture similar to spicy rice cake broth.
  7. Once the noodles and vegetables are fully cooked and soft, turn off the heat and generously sprinkle black pepper over the top—more than you think necessary—for a final touch.
  1. In a pot, combine water, soy sauce, chicken stock, curry powder, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Add dry noodles and bring to a boil.
  2. After 3 minutes of boiling, add sliced fish cake, onion, and mung bean sprouts, and continue cooking until everything is done.
  3. Adjust the broth to a slightly thick, soup-like consistency resembling spicy rice cake sauce, then turn off the heat and generously sprinkle black pepper before serving.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Noodles absorb a lot of broth as they cook, so avoid using too many—excess can cause the broth to evaporate completely, turning into a porridge-like consistency. Stick to a handful for best results.
  • To replicate the signature sharp, pungent flavor of professional shops, use high-quality pure curry powder and generous amounts of black pepper—the key to authentic taste.
  • For extra enjoyment, add yakisoba dumplings, fried kimchee rolls, or a boiled egg to the broth and mash it in while eating.
