Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- jjamppong ramen 1 pack
- beef short rib 100~150g
- green onion 1 stalk
- water 3 cups
- gochujang 1 tablespoon
- sugar 1 tablespoon
- tteokbokki rice cake 1 handful
- fish cake 1 piece
- black pepper to taste
Recipe 🍳
- Cut the green onion in half lengthwise and slice into large pieces. Cut the fish cake into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the beef short rib (100~150g) and sliced green onion in a pan and cook slowly until the meat releases its fat.
- Remove half of the well-seared beef short rib to use as a topping later.
- Add 3 cups of water to the remaining meat and green onion in the pan. Stir in the powdered soup base and solid bits from the jjamppong ramen, 1 tablespoon of gochujang, and 1 tablespoon of sugar until fully dissolved.
- Once the broth begins to bubble vigorously, add the ramen noodles, 1 handful of tteokbokki rice cake, and the sliced fish cake.
- Simmer until the rice cake and noodles are fully cooked. Transfer to a bowl, top generously with the reserved beef short rib and black pepper.
- Sear beef short rib and green onion in a pan to extract oil; set aside half of the beef for topping.
- Add water, two types of ramen seasoning, gochujang, and sugar to build a rich broth.
- Add noodles, rice cake, and fish cake; boil until cooked through. Finish with reserved beef short rib and black pepper.
Cooking tips 💡
- You can substitute beef short rib with thinly sliced pork belly or back bacon for a similarly rich and fatty result.
- The umami from the fish cake and jjaampop ramen combines beautifully with the rich meat fat, creating a satisfying hangover remedy broth.
