My Homecooked Korean Ramyeon Recipes

What is Korean Ramyeon?

 

Ramyeon is Korean instant noodles; not to be confused with Japanese ramen, which can be both fresh or instant. Korean Ramyeon is always instant noodles, such as our iconic Malaysian Maggi Mee.

Korean Beef Bone Soup Noodles with Smoked Duck & Mandu

 

Ingredients (do adjust based on how many pax you are cooking for):

• Nong Shim Sarigomtang Noodle (Rich Beef Bone Soup Noodle) - can buy from Shin Korea on Shopee
• Korea CJ Bibigo Sarigomtang Korean Beef Bone Soup Base - can buy from HNJ Mart on Shopee
• Korean Smoked Duck - can buy from the physical K Plus Food Market at The Curve
• Mushroom Mandu (dumplings) - can buy from the physical K Plus Food Market at The Curve

 

How to cook:

 

1. Pour the Sarigomtang soup base into a soup pot and bring it to a boil. When the soup starts to boil, add noodles and the included soup powder packet. Cover and let it boil for about 2 minutes or so.

 

2. While waiting for the noodles to cook, pan fry the smoked duck and mandu (defrosted) separately.

 

3. Open the pot's lid and stir the ramyeon to check if it's cooked (but not mushy). The best ramyeon should be firm and chewy but not undercooked either. Turn off the heat.

 

4. Tear open the packet of dried vegetables and sprinkle over the noodles. Serve the noodles together with smoked duck, mandu, and some kimchi (see the first photo on this blog post).
