Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • Buldak Bokkeummyeon 1 pack
  • Authentic Jjambbong 1 pack
  • Thick pork belly 500g
  • Salt a pinch
  • Cooking oil a pinch
  • Onion 0.5 head
  • Green onion 0.5 stalk
  • Gochugaru 1 tablespoon
  • Water 3.5 cups (paper cup measurement)
  • Chives a pinch

Recipe 🍳

  1. Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a pan, then place the thick pork belly seasoned with salt on it. Sear both sides until deeply browned and crispy.
  2. Cover the pan while grilling to prevent splattering and ensure even cooking through the thick cut of meat.
  3. Remove the most visually appealing pieces of fully cooked pork belly for garnish, and slice the remaining meat into bite-sized pieces. Leave the pork fat in the pan.
  4. Add half a chopped onion and half a green onion, sliced finely, to the same pan and stir-fry over high heat until golden and fragrant.
  5. Once the vegetables are well-cooked, add 1 tablespoon of gochugaru and quickly stir-fry together to create a rich gochujang oil with a bold, smoky flavor.
  6. Pour in 3.5 cups of water (measured using a paper cup), then add all the solid and liquid seasoning packets from both ramen packs.
  7. When the broth begins to bubble vigorously, add two servings of noodles and cover the pot. Cook until the noodles reach a firm, chewy texture.
  8. Once the noodles are done, transfer the ramen to a serving bowl and arrange the reserved pork belly and chives attractively on top.
  9. Finally, sprinkle your preferred amount of Buldak Bokkeummyeon's crumbled flakes (sesame and seaweed) and Authentic Jjambbong's oil-based seasoning to finish.
  1. Grill the seasoned thick pork belly on both sides until crispy, reserving some pieces for garnish.
  2. Use the leftover pork fat to sauté onion, green onion, and gochugaru, then add water and both ramen seasonings.
  3. Bring the broth to a boil, add noodles, cook until done, then serve in a bowl topped with pork belly, chives, and optional oil-based seasoning.

Cooking tips 💡

  • You can substitute thick pork belly with shoulder meat or thick-cut pork belly for a similarly rich, savory pork fat that blends beautifully into the broth.
  • When adding gochugaru to the hot pork fat, avoid prolonged heating as it can burn easily and develop a bitter taste—always stir quickly with the vegetables.
