Solo Cooking God Spicy Ham Kimchi Ramen

A powerful hangover cure ramen that delivers rich, deep, and spicy flavors by sautéing mashed canned ham and kimchi in oil, resembling a hearty meat jajangmyeon.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those seeking a much richer and spicier hangover soup than regular ramen
  • People wanting to creatively use leftover canned ham and fresh kimchi at home
  • Those aiming to achieve a deep, restaurant-quality flavor similar to Chinese-style meat jajangmyeon with just one ramen pack

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • spicy ramen 1 pack
  • canned ham 1/2 can
  • green onion 1 stalk
  • kimchi 1/2 cup
  • sugar 1/3 tablespoon
  • bean sprouts 1 handful
  • vegetable oil generously
  • water 3 cups
  • black pepper a pinch

Recipe 🍳

  1. Place half a can of canned ham into a plastic bag and crush it thoroughly with your hands until the pieces are small and well broken down.
  2. Heat generous amounts of vegetable oil in a pan or pot, then finely chop the white parts of the green onion and add them to fry for a fragrant base.
  3. Once the green onion aroma rises, add the crushed ham and half a cup of chopped kimchi, and stir-fry until the ham turns golden brown.
  4. If using fresh kimchi, add 1/3 tablespoon of sugar to balance the sourness; if using well-fermented kimchi, skip the sugar.
  5. Add both the ramen powder seasoning and solid bits, and gently stir-fry again without burning, allowing the seasonings to blend into the ingredients.
  6. Pour in 3 cups of water (based on paper cup measurement), and use a spatula to scrape off any stuck ham pieces from the bottom while bringing the broth to a boil, creating a rich stock.
  7. Once boiling, add the ramen noodles and a handful of bean sprouts, stirring well until the noodles are cooked to the right texture.
  8. Turn off the heat once the noodles are fully cooked, then generously sprinkle the green parts of the green onion and black pepper to finish.
  1. Crush the canned ham completely in a plastic bag and finely chop the green onion.
  2. In an oiled pan, sequentially add green onion, crushed ham, kimchi, and ramen seasoning, and stir-fry until golden.
  3. Add water and bring to a boil, then add noodles and bean sprouts to cook, finishing with green onion greens and pepper.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Do not cut the canned ham with a knife—crush it completely in a plastic bag and sauté it in oil so the flavor and fat from the ham fully infuse into the broth, resulting in a richer stock.
  • Using a wide frying pan instead of a pot causes faster evaporation of moisture, so consider adding a little extra water or starting with a generous amount to prevent the broth from becoming too salty.
  • Adding plenty of bean sprouts and black pepper at the end helps cleanse the richness of the broth, maximizing the jajangmyeon-like hangover relief effect.
