Main Ingredients- 1 packet of instant ramen
- 1 stalk of green onion (mostly the white part, use generously)
- 25g dried pollack (about a handful)
- 3 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes, adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Korean red chili (optional, for extra spice)
- 1 egg
- 550ml water (approx. 3 standard paper cups)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, check and prepare all the ingredients for the recipe. Wash the green onion thoroughly and slice it into roughly 5cm lengths, focusing on the white part, or chop it finely if you prefer. Finely chop the Korean red chili to add a spicy kick (this is optional)..
Step 2
Lightly rinse the dried pollack under cold water to soften it, then cut it into 2-3cm pieces. This step will deepen and enrich the flavor of the broth.
Step 3
Now, let’s start making the ramen broth. Heat a pot over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is slightly warm, add the prepared green onions and chopped Korean red chili. Stir-fry over medium-low heat, slowly cooking the green onions to release their sweetness and aromatic flavor. This slow sauté is key to extracting the best taste.
Step 5
As the green onions become slightly translucent, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Stir-fry together, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
Next, add 1 tablespoon of gochugaru. Reduce the heat to low at this point to quickly stir-fry the chili flakes without burning them, infusing the broth with color. You should start to smell the spicy aroma.
Step 7
Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce for an umami boost. Oyster sauce enhances the flavors of the other ingredients, providing a rich and complex taste.
Step 8
Add all the softened, rehydrated dried pollack. Stir-fry them with the other ingredients. As the pollack cooks with the seasonings, it forms the base for a delicious broth.
Step 9
Add the entire contents of the ramen soup base packet. Stir well to combine with the ingredients in the pot. Now, turn the heat to high and stir-fry for about 1 minute. This step helps to enhance the overall ramen flavor.
Step 10
Pour in 550ml of water (about 3 standard paper cups). If you prefer a lighter broth, you can add a little more water, or reduce the water slightly for a more intense flavor.
Step 11
Once the water comes to a rolling boil, add the ramen noodles. Gently stir to separate the noodles, and consider boiling them for about 1 minute longer than the package instructions suggest for a chewier texture.
Step 12
Finally, crack 1 egg into the boiling soup. Keep the heat at medium-high and let it simmer for about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. This will result in a perfectly finished Green Onion Hangover Ramen with a soft egg and a spicy, invigorating broth! Garnish with extra green onions or chili if desired for an even better taste.
