Golden Ratio Jjapaghetti-Bongguri (Chapaguri): A Special Meal with Grilled Pork Ribs
Make Delicious Chapaguri Like a Pro at Home! (Tips & Grilled Pork Ribs Included)
I’ve tried making the viral Jjapaghetti-Bongguri (Chapaguri) that’s been trending online. This recipe elevates instant ramen into a gourmet dish with its rich flavors and satisfying texture. We’ll also be pairing it with savory, soy-glazed pork ribs, creating a truly unforgettable culinary experience. This detailed guide is perfect for beginners!
Main Ingredients
- 3 packs Jjapaghetti ramen
- 3 packs Neoguri ramen
- Soy-glazed pork ribs (bite-sized), as needed
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The key to perfect Chapaguri lies in the noodle texture! When cooking both Jjapaghetti and Neoguri noodles together, boil them for about 4 minutes. Cooking them longer will make them mushy, so using a timer is recommended. After 4 minutes, drain the water, leaving a little bit of the starchy water behind. This will help the sauce coat the noodles beautifully when we stir-fry them with the soup bases over high heat for the final minute.
Step 2
The sauce ratio is crucial for the signature flavor. Use all 3 Jjapaghetti soup packets for a deep, umami taste. For Neoguri, use only 1.5 packets to add a pleasant spicy kick without making it too salty. It’s best to taste and adjust as you go. Once the soup bases are added, stir-fry quickly over high heat to ensure the sauce evenly coats every strand of noodle.
Step 3
The soy-glazed pork ribs are a special side dish that elevates the entire meal. Line the bottom of a pot with thinly sliced onions, then arrange the soy-marinated pork ribs on top. Cover the pot and simmer over medium-low heat. The onions will caramelize, adding sweetness, and the ribs will become incredibly tender, easily falling off the bone.
Step 4
And voilà! Everything is ready. Plate the delicious Chapaguri alongside the savory glazed pork ribs for a stunning meal. It’s perfect for a casual home party or a special occasion. The harmony of flavors is sure to impress everyone!
