🍜 The Ultimate Way to Cook Korean Ramen
- 1. Measure 500ml (about 2 cups) of water and bring to a rolling boil.
- 2. Add the dried veggie sachet first. Once the water boils, add noodles gently, spreading them out.
- 3. When noodles begin to soften (after 30 seconds), add the soup base powder.
- 4. Boil on high for 4–4.5 minutes for chewy, perfect noodles.
- 5. For toppings (egg, green onions, cheese, kimchi, rice cakes), add during the last 30 seconds.
- 6. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 20 seconds—this enriches the flavor.
Pro Tips: For extra bouncy noodles, blanch them in boiling water for 10 seconds before main cooking.
