Ingredients- 1 pack ramen noodles
- 1 pack seasoned seaweed flakes (Gim-Jaban, 10g)
Sauce Ingredients- 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp tuna extract (or fish sauce)
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp tuna extract (or fish sauce)
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. This will form the base of your delicious bibim-ramen.
Step 2
Let’s make the special sauce! In a bowl, combine 1.5 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of tuna extract (which adds a savory depth), 0.5 tablespoon of sugar for sweetness, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic for aroma. Whisk everything together until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust if needed.
Step 3
Cook the ramen noodles in boiling water as directed on the package. Be careful not to overcook them, as this can make the noodles mushy. Aim for a perfectly chewy texture.
Step 4
Once cooked, immediately rinse the ramen noodles under cold running water to stop the cooking process and enhance their chewy texture. Drain them thoroughly in a colander to remove excess water, as this will help the sauce adhere better and prevent it from becoming diluted.
Step 5
Now for the final, delicious step! Add the drained ramen noodles to a bowl. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and generously sprinkle the entire pack of crispy Gim-Jaban (seasoned seaweed flakes). Gently mix everything together, ensuring the noodles are well-coated with the sauce and the Gim-Jaban is evenly distributed. Mix just enough to combine, preserving the delightful crunch of the seaweed flakes.
