Main Ingredients- 1 packet Sari Gomtang ramen (including powder soup)
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 large green onion (about 70g)
- 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon guk-ganjang (Korean soup soy sauce)
- A pinch of black pepper
- 600ml water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the fresh green onion. Wash it thoroughly, remove any outer layers, then cut it in half lengthwise. Afterward, chop it into manageable 4-5cm pieces.
Step 2
Next, prepare the egg for a silky texture in the broth. Crack the egg into a small bowl, whisk it gently to break the yolk and remove any stringy bits (alkkun), and beat it until smooth.
Step 3
Now, let’s begin stir-frying! Heat a pot over medium heat, add the fragrant sesame oil and cooking oil, then add the chopped green onions. Sauté the green onions until they become translucent and release a sweet aroma – this step is crucial for developing flavor.
Step 4
Once the green onions have softened slightly, add the gochugaru (Korean chili flakes). Stir-fry for about 1 minute, ensuring the heat isn’t too high to prevent burning. This process releases the vibrant red oil and mellows the chili’s sharpness.
Step 5
As the chili oil starts to infuse, pour in the 600ml of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Let it simmer until a rolling boil is achieved.
Step 6
Once the broth is boiling vigorously, add the Sari Gomtang ramen powder soup and the noodles. The soup will become richer as the noodles cook. Gently stir to prevent the noodles from clumping together.
Step 7
When the ramen noodles are about halfway cooked, add the minced garlic (1/2 tbsp) for depth and the guk-ganjang (1 tbsp) for umami. Stir well. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with more guk-ganjang or a pinch of salt if needed.
Step 8
Once the noodles are perfectly cooked and tender, carefully scoop them out and place them into your serving bowl. This ensures the noodles retain their chewy texture.
Step 9
With the remaining hot broth in the pot, slowly drizzle in the beaten egg in a thin stream. Reduce the heat to low and let the egg cook gently until it forms delicate ribbons. Avoid stirring to create beautiful egg flowers.
Step 10
Time to finish! Ladle the hot, flavorful broth over the noodles in the bowl. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper to your liking. Your trendy Sari Gomtang Yukgaejang is ready to be enjoyed!
