Equipment

  • 2 Large pots
  • strainer
  •  Stirrer

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup finely chopped kimchi
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
  • 3/4 cup kimchi juice
  • 6 tsp sesame oil
  • 10 tbsp noodle water reserved
  • 6 packs of instant ramen noodles
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 stalks of finely chopped green onion
  • 1 tsp white granulated sugar
  • 8 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Begin by boiling water in a pot and adding the instant ramen noodles. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes or until they are soft, then drain and set aside. Don’t forget to reserve 10 tablespoons of the noodle water for later use.
  • In a separate pot or pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat and add minced garlic. Once fragrant, add the chopped kimchi and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • To make the broth, add chicken bouillon powder, kimchi juice, white sugar, and sesame oil to the pot with the sautéed kimchi. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until well combined.
  • Next, pour the reserved noodle water into the pot and stir. Let it simmer for another minute or two before adding finely chopped green onions.
  • Assemble your ramen by placing the cooked noodles in a bowl, ladling the hot broth and kimchi mixture over them, and topping with shredded cheese and additional green onions.
  • Serve hot and savor the explosion of flavors in every bite of this delicious Kimchi Cheese Ramen.

Notes

  • For an extra kick of spice, add some gochujang (Korean chili paste) to the broth.
  • If you don’t have chicken bouillon powder, you can use chicken broth or stock instead.
  • Make sure to reserve the noodle water as it adds starch and flavor to the broth.
  • Customize your toppings by adding sliced pork, soft-boiled eggs, or your favorite vegetables.
  • Don’t overcook the ramen noodles, as they can become mushy. Cook just until they are soft and then remove from heat.
