Main Ingredients- 1 packet Yeol Ramen
- Ice, as needed
- 1/4 cucumber
- A small amount of carrot
Cold Noodle Broth Seasoning (for 1 serving)- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the Yeol Ramen soup base. Since the powder can be difficult to dissolve in cold water, mix it with a very small amount of warm water beforehand until fully dissolved. This ensures a smooth broth without any clumps later.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the key broth seasoning that will define the flavor of your cold noodles. Prepare 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp vinegar, and 1 Tbsp sugar. This ratio is for one ramen packet and can be adjusted to your preference. Add these seasonings to the dissolved soup base and mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Once the seasoning is well combined, pour in 150ml of cold water and mix again. If you don’t have very cold water, you can use lukewarm water, but the key to delicious cold ramen is to make the broth as cold as possible. Chilling it in the freezer for a short while will enhance its refreshing quality.
Step 4
Cook the noodles in boiling water according to the package instructions. After cooking, it’s important to drain them completely in a colander. Any remaining water can dilute the broth and make it taste less flavorful.
Step 5
Let’s prepare the fresh toppings for your cold ramen! Thinly julienne the carrot. This adds a beautiful color and enhances the visual appeal of the dish.
Step 6
Slice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Removing the seeds and then julienning it will provide a better texture. Feel free to use any vegetables you have at home for the toppings. Things like bean sprouts, boiled eggs, or kimchi also pair well, so get creative!
Step 7
In a wide bowl, arrange the cooked noodles first. You can sprinkle the dried vegetable packet on top if you like, but if you prefer a cleaner presentation for your cold noodles, you can omit it. The choice is yours.
Step 8
Neatly arrange the prepared cucumber and carrot strips over the noodles. I added a few boiled shrimp I had on hand, but don’t worry if you don’t have any – they are completely optional and the dish will still be delicious. Embellish with whatever ingredients you have available.
Step 9
Now, pour the cold broth you carefully prepared earlier over the noodles and toppings. If you taste it now, it might seem a bit strong, but don’t worry as we’ll be adding ice soon. The ice will melt and dilute the broth to the perfect seasoning level.
Step 10
Finally, add a generous amount of ice for extra chilliness and sprinkle some sesame seeds for a nutty aroma. Your delicious Yeol Ramen cold noodles are now complete! Doesn’t it look refreshingly appetizing?
Step 11
Personally, I find the spiciness of Yeol Ramen to be more pronounced when it’s cold compared to when it’s hot. If you enjoy spicy foods like Buldak Bokkeum Myeon, you’ll find this spicy and sweet flavor profile to be absolutely perfect! I highly recommend trying this cooling and delicious Yeol Ramen cold noodle recipe as the weather gets warmer!
