Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- spicy ramen 1 pack
- water 3 paper cups
- gochujang 1 tablespoon
- sugar 2 tablespoons
- red pepper powder 1 tablespoon
- curry powder 0.3 tablespoon
- rice cake 1 handful
- fish cake 1 piece
- cabbage 1-2 pieces
- green onion 0.5 bunch

Recipe 🍳
- Pour 3 paper cups of water into a pan, then add 1 tablespoon gochujang, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon red pepper powder.
- Add all the solid and powdered ramen seasoning packets, then stir in 0.3 tablespoon curry powder until well combined.
- Once the sauce begins to bubble, add 1 handful of rice cake and sliced fish cake.
- Immediately add the ramen noodles and top with large slices of cabbage, then simmer together.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the noodles to soften and absorb the flavors.
- When the noodles are tender, add thinly sliced green onion and the boiled egg.
- Finally, sprinkle black pepper generously—more than you think necessary.
- Gently stir once more to evenly distribute the seasoning, then lightly simmer to finish.
- Mix gochujang, sugar, red pepper powder, ramen seasoning, and curry powder in water and bring to a boil.
- Add rice cake, fish cake, ramen noodles, and cabbage to the boiling broth and simmer gently for 3 minutes.
- Add green onion and boiled egg, then sprinkle generously with black pepper and simmer briefly.
Cooking tips 💡
- A small amount of curry powder is key to achieving the distinctive umami depth and subtly enticing aroma of traditional street food stalls.
- For better flavor absorption, we recommend using wheat-based rice cakes instead of rice-based ones.
- Adding black pepper at the final stage ensures its aroma stays strong and delivers a sharp, spicy kick.
