Ramen is always a strong meal, but it can feel monotonous if you eat it the same way. However, adding just one common ingredient in the refrigerator changes the flavor and texture significantly.

Let's find out how to transform ramen into a luxurious dish with simple toppings. Below are ingredient combinations and utilization tips that further enhance the taste of ramen. Tonight, let's enjoy a special meal with my own ramen recipe.

red pepper oil




A spoon of red pepper oil


adds an addictive spicy and deep flavor to the ramen soup. It is the best combination, especially when eating it for the same spicy ramen or hangover. Pepper oil catches the greasiness of greasy food, and adding pan or garlic can help you enjoy a richer taste. Let's start with a small amount and adjust it to your taste.

Salted pollack roe

Salted pollack roe makes ramen luxurious with a salty flavor. If you add a spoonful of ramen when it boils, the soup will deepen and add a creamy flavor. When combined with cream sauce ramen or cheese ramen, it feels like pollack pasta. Even a small amount of pollack roe gives it a strong taste, so don't add too much. A meal with a balanced texture and color is completed with bean sprouts or green onions.




perilla oil

Perilla oil explodes in savory taste with just a few drops of bibim ramen. If you add a little bit of perilla oil to regular soup ramen, the soup is soft and has a deep flavor. It has the effect of relieving the spicy taste, so it is recommended for those who want to enjoy spicy ramen gently. Unlike sesame oil, perilla oil is highly savory and effective in small amounts. If you add seaweed flakes or sesame seeds, the savory scent doubles.

Bean sprouts




Bean sprouts


upgrade ramen with a crisp texture and a clean taste. If you add a handful of ramen just before boiling, the texture will be revived and the soup will not be greasy. It especially goes well with oily broth ramen. Bean sprouts


also have the effect of refreshing the stomach when put in hangover ramen. Let's keep it crisp by putting it in the last minute or two so that the boiling time is not long.

Cheese

Cheese adds a creamy flavor and soft texture to ramen. If you add cheese to spicy ramen, the spicy taste softens and it's easy to eat. Microwave lightly or cover to melt the cheese. If you put it with kimchi or red pepper, it transforms into Korean cheese ramen.

Eggs

Eggs supplement the protein and nutrition of ramen and add a soft taste. If you cook it half-cooked or loosen it, the soup becomes thicker and the satiety increases. Bibim ramen goes well with scrambled eggs. When adding eggs, stir lightly in the boiling soup to cook gently, or put it on half-cooked at the end, it is visually satisfactory. It's perfect for a simple meal with panna seaweed.

Cabbage

Thinly sliced cabbage increases the satiety of ramen with its sweet taste and crisp texture. If you put it in soup ramen, it reduces the greasyness, and adds chewing fun to bibim ramen. If you put it in the boiling soup for 1 to 2 minutes and cook it slightly, the sweetness will be released. When added with carrots or paprika, the color and nutrition become richer.

Ramen can be transformed with a simple ingredient. Let's make our own recipes using ingredients in the refrigerator such as red pepper oil
