Today, i made ramen noodle soup…slurrrp..soup tastes amazing…korean hot pepper paste (gochujang), korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru), used maple syrup instead of sugar this time, some sea-salt and a dash of sesame oil in the end..yummmm..hot hot..mmmm..

Can we use any flavor of ramyeon? I myself like spicy, but some of the people in my family don’t. :)
It’s a classic, delicious korean recipe
hello Maangchi…would you recommend me a good Korean noodle brand please? whenever i buy one it would taste weird, bad, or just plain… thank you
I always keep 3 or 4 bowls of this in my desk at work for when I work late. Sometimes I will have them for lunch and add kimchi. 맛있어요!

i make ramen with some fried fish (chopped into small pieces making it crispy),fried Maldivian leaves, adding one whole lemon (original), soya sauce 2tbs and oyster sauce 1tbs….its so yummy like that!! well m gona try this too!! it makes my mouth watery…XD
Hi Maangchi. I usually don’t like to eat ramyeon, but you make it look so good! I usually only like it when I am camping or out in the mountains…tastes amazing then. But at home, I rarely resort to it. But now I am craving some!
maangchi, do you have a favorite brand of ramen? i like nong shim. when i lived in nyc as a college student around 2001, i would buy 10 packages of nissin top ramen for $1 from gristedes. it kept me from starving!
I love watching you and Jimmy together on YouTube. Jimmy is pretty funny on his own. I didn’t know he could sing! That was pretty funny video. Thanks for the laugh!!
This is one of the funniest videos!!! That’s exactly how my mom used to make ramen for us back in Korea too! Wow…haven’t had Korean Shin-Ramen in…almost a decade now. Now that you inspired us I’ll have to go shopping for some ramen! My neighbor gave us lots of fresh eggs from their hens so I can make really good ramen with good eggs!
I’m so happy to hear that this video made you laugh! : ) “My neighbor gave us lots of fresh eggs from their hens so I can make really good ramen with good eggs!” awesome!
That looks like you had tons of fun there :D
(I would love to know a recipe for the soup itself, so i would not have flavour enhancher in it)
I love Ranyeon and add lots of ingredients to it :D My fave adds are: (fresh cooked) spinach, mungbean sprouts, bamboo shot slices, zuchini, radish sausage slices and very important a raw egg (or two ^^).
Your way of making ramyeon sounds fantastic!
