Main Ingredients- 2 packs of instant ramen
- 1 Korean red chili (Cheongyang pepper)
- 2 leaves of napa cabbage
- A small bunch of chives
- 1 medium onion
- 1 squid (or similar seafood if unavailable)
- 2 eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare all the ingredients for our delicious jjambbong ramen. The Cheongyang pepper will add spiciness, napa cabbage provides a touch of sweetness, and chives offer a refreshing aroma. The onion brings sweetness and a crisp flavor, while the squid adds a satisfying chewiness and umami. Wash all the vegetables and squid thoroughly and chop them into bite-sized pieces. If you don’t have squid, feel free to substitute with shrimp, clams, or other favorite seafood, or simply omit it.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to start stir-frying! Grab a wok or a deep pot. Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pot. Then, add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic and a generous amount of chopped green onions. Sauté over medium-low heat until fragrant. Cooking the green onions in oil creates a flavorful ‘scallion oil’ that significantly deepens the broth’s taste.
Step 3
Once the garlic and green onions are fragrant, add the chopped onion and stir-fry together. Cook until the onion becomes translucent. Next, add 2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes (gochugaru) and stir-fry briefly. Be careful not to burn the chili powder; adjust the heat as needed.
Step 4
When the onion is somewhat softened and has released its sweetness, push the ingredients to one side of the pot. Pour 2 tablespoons of soy sauce into the empty space. Let the soy sauce sizzle and caramelize slightly to impart a ‘wok hei’ or smoky flavor, characteristic of jjambbong. Once it starts to darken a bit, mix it with the other ingredients.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add the seafood and remaining vegetables. Toss in the prepared napa cabbage, Cheongyang pepper, and squid. Stir-fry for a minute until the seafood starts to change color. You’ll begin to smell the delicious jjambbong aroma!
Step 6
Pour 1 liter of water into the pot. This will form the base for our refreshing and spicy broth. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Step 7
Once the water is boiling, add the 2 packs of instant ramen. Add one and a half packs of the soup base and all of the dried vegetable packet. (Adjust the soup base amount according to your preference.) Gently stir to separate the noodles and let it cook for about 1 minute. Be mindful not to overcook the noodles at this stage.
Step 8
After the ramen has cooked for 1 minute, whisk 2 eggs in a separate bowl and pour them slowly into the simmering broth. The eggs will cook and add a creamy texture to the soup. Avoid stirring immediately; let the egg whites set slightly.
Step 9
Once the egg starts to form soft curds, add the chopped chives. Let it come to a gentle boil one more time, then turn off the heat. Adding the chives at the end preserves their fresh aroma and vibrant color. Your delicious jjambbong ramen is now ready!
