🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who miss the bold, satisfying taste of ramen rice cakes from old-school street food shops near schools
  • People who want to quickly make a tasty rice cake dish in just 10 minutes without preparing separate stock, using only ramen broth

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
  • boiled egg 1
  • black pepper generously

Recipe 🍳

  1. Pour 3 paper cups of water into a pan, then add 1 tablespoon gochujang, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon red pepper powder.
  2. Add all the solid and powdered ramen seasoning packets, then stir in 0.3 tablespoon curry powder until well combined.
  3. Once the sauce begins to bubble, add 1 handful of rice cake and sliced fish cake.
  4. Immediately add the ramen noodles and top with large slices of cabbage, then simmer together.
  5. Cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the noodles to soften and absorb the flavors.
  6. When the noodles are tender, add thinly sliced green onion and the boiled egg.
  7. Finally, sprinkle black pepper generously—more than you think necessary.
  8. Gently stir once more to evenly distribute the seasoning, then lightly simmer to finish.
  1. Mix gochujang, sugar, red pepper powder, ramen seasoning, and curry powder in water and bring to a boil.
  2. Add rice cake, fish cake, ramen noodles, and cabbage to the boiling broth and simmer gently for 3 minutes.
  3. 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.
