Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack instant ramen
  • 1 cup well-fermented kimchi
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the kimchi and garlic for about 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add the water, gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Bring to a rolling boil, scraping the bottom of the pot.
  3. Add the ramen noodles and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still chewy.
  4. Crack the egg into the center of the bubbling broth, cover, and poach over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes. Top with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve right away.

Notes

Well-fermented, tangy kimchi makes the deepest broth. If your kimchi is fresh, add a small splash of rice vinegar to the broth along with the soy sauce. This ramen is best eaten immediately while the noodles are springy and the yolk is runny.
