Essential Ingredients- 1 packet of instant ramen noodles
- 1/2 squid (cleaned and prepared)
- 1/2 cup (50g) cocktail shrimp
- 2 stalks (10cm each) green onion
- 1 handful (80g) bean sprouts
- 3 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 2 3/4 cups (550ml) water
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (cheongju)
Optional Ingredients- 1 Cheongyang chili pepper (for extra spice)
- 1 Cheongyang chili pepper (for extra spice)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a deep pot, heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of gochugaru and stir gently to infuse the oil with chili flavor, creating chili oil. Be careful not to burn the chili flakes; infusing the aroma is key.
Step 2
Once the chili oil has developed a good aroma, add the thinly sliced green onions. Sauté over medium-low heat until the sweet fragrance of the scallions is released into the oil, enhancing the depth of the Jjamppong broth.
Step 3
Pour 550ml (2 3/4 cups) of water into the pot with the chili oil and scallions. Add the ramen soup base and stir well to dissolve. Bring the broth to a boil, preparing to add the main ingredients.
Step 4
Once the broth is boiling vigorously, add the ramen noodles, the prepared squid, and the cocktail shrimp. Pour in 1 tablespoon of cooking wine (cheongju) to eliminate any fishy odors from the seafood and enhance its flavor.
Step 5
Finally, add the bean sprouts and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the noodles are perfectly cooked. Once the noodles are done, add the pre-sliced green onions and, if desired, the thinly sliced Cheongyang chili pepper. Simmer briefly to combine flavors. Your delicious Squid Jjamppong is ready! Serve immediately while hot.
