Korean Kimchi Diet Ramen: How to!

Apr 19, 2007 22:21

Okay folks I'm bored and when I'm bored I apparently want to make a cooking how-to for the special Korean Kimchi Diet Ramen, family Park style. After this, your Korean ramen will never taste like crap again! ;D Let's get started shall we?



Alrighty, first of all you'll need a bag of Korean Ramen. The Jin Ramen is recommended, mild flavour. Like this one.

Now break the Ramen in two, the contents still inside the bag(we don't wanna make a mess!).


Good, now let's look at what we all need? Time to check our gear! Noodles, two ramen spices, 1 egg, Kimchi and some sliced pieces of ham.


Now get your water boiler, for you need to boil some additional water. Why? This is for the "diet" part, which I'll explain later. Put in some water, and let it boil.


Now time for some cooking. Take a pot, not a shitty pot like this which is in fact not meant for cooking something at all. And pour some water in it, let it boil. Then put in the pieces of noodles into it.


Poking the package of hard noodles is perfectly fine. Let it cook for a minute, not too long, it should be half cooked still.


Now comes the part where the diet-part is coming into action. Pour the steamy and oily water out of the pot and temporally transfer your noodles into a bowl of cold water. Like this,


To cool off and cold water gives the ramen a distinct.. taste. Feel in the mouth? Anyway..

Remember your water boiler? The water is already boiling and done by now. Pour some fresh hot water into the empty pot.


When the water in the pot starts to boil, the noodles in the bowl with cold water can go back into the pot again.

And then it's time to add the dried vegetables from the little package! Stir it all up.


Now we have that done, add the red spice from the package to the soup.


Crack an egg, let it join the merry soup.


After that, the pieces of ham go in.


And last but not least: KIMCHI!


Let it all cook for a minute or two, and then TADA! Your own Korean Kimchi Diet Ramen is ready!


For the lovers of cooking here, you can also put additional onion and leek into it. Then it tastes even better but I'm a lazy bum so I don't go that far. These tips are strictly for Korean ramen only(they're usually quite spicy and go well with all the named ingredients up there). I have no idea how kimchi will taste with Chinese ramen.. Dx

Anyway, have fun and enjoy your ramen~~ Even though I have the idea nobody knows where to get Korean ramen. Or Kimchi. Ah whatever. xD
