Main Ingredients
- 3 packs Ramen noodles
- 1 stalk Scallions (green onions)
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 medium Onion
Seasoning & Aromatics
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the scallions. Finely chop the green parts of the scallion. These will add flavor to the broth.
Step 2
Julienne the white parts of the scallions and soak them in cold water. These will be used as a garnish later, providing a refreshing crunch and visual appeal.
Step 3
Thinly slice the half onion. Heat a pan over medium-low heat without oil. Add the sliced onion and 1/2 Tbsp of minced garlic, and stir-fry until the onion becomes translucent and releases its sweetness. This builds the flavor base.
Step 4
Once the onion and garlic are fragrant and softened, add the chopped green parts of the scallion and 1 Tbsp of gochugaru. Stir-fry together for about 1 minute until the aromas of the scallion and chili flakes meld.
Step 5
Keep the heat low during this stage to prevent the gochugaru from burning. Stir gently to ensure even cooking and to avoid scorching, as burnt chili flakes can impart a bitter taste.
Step 6
Add the ramen seasoning packet to the stir-fried aromatics. Pour in about 80% of the water you would normally use for 3 packs of ramen (approximately 1500ml). For an extra kick of heat, you can add 1-2 chopped Cheongyang chili peppers at this point for a wake-up call of spiciness.
Step 7
Once the broth comes to a rolling boil,
Step 8
Add the ramen noodles.
Step 9
When the noodles are about 80% cooked (after approximately 2 minutes of boiling), add the remaining 20% of hot water (about 300ml). Bring it back to a boil and immediately turn off the heat. This ensures perfectly chewy noodles and a rich, flavorful broth. Enjoy your delicious Spicy Scallion Ramen! You can crack an egg into it or top with the soaked scallion garnish for an extra touch.
