Boil Water
In a medium pot, bring 550 ml of water to a rolling boil. This is the standard amount for most Samyang ramen packets, but check your specific packet for exact instructions.
Using slightly less water can result in a more concentrated and spicier broth, while more water will dilute the flavor.
Add Noodles and Seasoning
Carefully add the 1 packet of Samyang instant ramen noodles and the contents of the 1 packet seasoning packet (and any included vegetable flakes) to the boiling water. Stir gently to separate the noodles.
Be cautious when adding the seasoning, especially the spicy sauce, to avoid splashes. You can add only half the sauce packet if you prefer a milder spice level.
Cook the Ramen
Cook the noodles for approximately 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired tenderness and the broth thickens slightly. If adding an 1 large Egg, you can crack it directly into the pot during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to poach it to your liking.
For a chewier noodle texture, cook for closer to 4 minutes. For softer noodles, extend to 5 minutes. If poaching an egg, cover the pot briefly to help it cook evenly.
Serve Hot
Carefully transfer the cooked ramen and broth into a serving bowl. For extra flavor and texture, you can garnish with sliced 1 stalk or a 1 slice placed on top to melt. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy Samyang ramen!
Other popular toppings include kimchi, seaweed, or a drizzle of sesame oil. Be mindful of the heat level, especially with Buldak flavors!
