A bowl of Ramyeon

 

Korean Ramyeon with Crispy Fried Egg (Easy Comfort Bowl)

There’s nothing more comforting than a steamy bowl of Korean ramyeon — bold, spicy, and ready in minutes. This version takes it up a notch with a perfectly crispy sunny-side fried egg, tender noodles, and a flavour-packed broth. It’s quick, satisfying, and made exactly like the classic Korean convenience-store ramyeon served with toppings.

Ingredients

For 1 serving:

• 1 pack Korean instant ramyeon (like Samyang mild or any other one)

• 2 cups water

• 1 egg (for frying)

• 1 tbsp oil (for frying the egg)

• 1 small piece of spring onion, chopped

• A few pieces of kimchi (optional but recommended)

• Small handful spinach or any leafy greens

• 1 cheese slice (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep the broth

1. Heat 2 cups of water in a pot.

2. Once it comes to a boil, add the ramyeon seasoning packet and vegetable flakes.

3. Let it simmer for 30 seconds to activate the flavors.

2. Add the noodles

1. Add the ramyeon noodles into the broth.

2. Let them cook for 3–4 minutes.

3. Halfway through, add:

3. Fry the perfect sunny-side egg

1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small pan.

2. Crack an egg gently into the pan.

Tips for the Best Ramyeon

• Add 1 tsp gochujang for extra depth and sweetness.

• Drop in rice cakes (tteok) if you want it more filling.

• If you don’t like spicy ramen, use a mild ramyeon base and add soy sauce instead of chili flakes.

• For a thicker broth, boil for 1 extra minute.
