Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • Store-bought skewered odeng 10-14 skewers
  • Water, as needed
  • 1 packet store-bought anchovy kalguksu ramen soup base
  • Gochugaru, a pinch

Recipe 🍳

  1. Pour an appropriate amount of water into a pot and bring to a boil. Add the anchovy kalguksu ramen soup base to create a savory broth.
  2. To the broth, add gochugaru, mirin, jin ganjang, gochujang, mulyeot, and minced garlic, stirring well to dissolve and season.
  3. Add finely chopped cheongyang chili peppers to ensure a spicy, sharp flavor in the soup.
  4. When the seasoned broth comes to a boil, neatly add the skewered odeng and skewered garaetteok.
  5. Simmer over medium heat until the odeng and rice cakes absorb the flavors. Then add the anchovy kalguksu ramen noodles and boil until the noodles are cooked through.
  1. In boiling water, mix the anchovy kalguksu soup base with gochujang and other seasonings to make the broth.
  2. Add cheongyang chili peppers, then put in the skewered odeng and garaetteok.
  3. Finally, add the kalguksu noodles and simmer until the liquid is reduced and the noodles are cooked.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The anchovy kalguksu ramen soup base is a fantastic shortcut that replicates the deep umami of a long-simmered pojangmacha odeng broth in an instant.
  • For the garaetteok, use the softer skewer type rather than tteokbokki rice cakes, so the thick sauce sticks to the surface better.
  • As the broth boils, the odeng will expand and the liquid may reduce; if it becomes too salty, add water little by little.
