easy soondubu soft tofu ramyeon instant noodles ramen quick hack

Welcome back to my Ramadan 2023 Series! We’re already at the halfway point of this month, and we’ve gone through quite a few recipes!

Usually around this time of the Ramadan month, my desire to cook a full meal dwindles a bit, and all I want is to take it easy. So today’s recipe is the perfect one to combat that mood, by levelling up your instant ramen game. For Day 14 of this series, we have Soondubu Ramyeon.

what is soondubu ramyeon?

Soondubu ramyeon (or sundubu ramen) was a viral instant noodle recipe that was all over the Korean social media spaces a couple of years ago. It combines the tastes of instant noodles with the comforting flavors of sundubu jjigae (a Korean spicy soft tofu stew).

In the viral recipe, the Korean noodle Yeol Ramen by Ottogi was used, because the spiciness of the seasoning is close to the spicy taste of sundubu jjigae. However, you can swap that with any spicy soupy ramen of your choice. My personal favorite for these type of recipes is Shin Ramyun. But you can honestly just use any soupy ramen that you desire, even the non spicy ones!

My Soondubu Ramyeon Version

For my version, we’ll be incorporating onions, green onions, sesame oil, and oyster sauce to the instant ramen for a more flavorful broth. I also added some heavy cream for a more creamier broth texture, but this is definitely optional. Finally, you just need to add in some soft tofu and an egg, and you’re done!
