**Required Kitchen Tools:**
• Chopsticks (or a teaspoon)

• Microwave-safe wide bowl or plate
• Microwave
Main Ingredient- 1 package Jinjja Ramen (Spicy Flavor)
Sauce Ingredients- 1 packet ramen powder soup base
- 1 packet sugar (use the empty ramen packet to measure for convenience)
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 packet ramen powder soup base
- 1 packet sugar (use the empty ramen packet to measure for convenience)
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the Noodles: Carefully split the ramen noodles in half lengthwise along the pre-scored lines on the side of the noodle block.
Step 2
Break into Bite-Sized Pieces: Gently crush the halved noodle block with your hands. Aim for pieces that are easy to dip into the sauce, so avoid breaking them too small.
Step 3
Arrange on Plate: Spread the broken ramen pieces in a single layer on a microwave-safe wide bowl or plate. Ensure they aren’t overlapping too much for even crisping.
Step 4
First Microwave Round: Place the plate with the ramen into the microwave and heat for 1 minute.
Step 5
Flip and Continue Heating: After 1 minute, use chopsticks to carefully flip and rearrange the ramen pieces. Then, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until the noodles are perfectly crispy. Be cautious: overheating can cause them to burn, so heat in short bursts!
Step 6
Prepare the Soup Base: In a small, microwave-safe dipping bowl or ramekin, empty the entire packet of ramen powder soup base. (Pro-tip: Don’t discard the empty soup packet yet – it’s useful for measuring!)
Step 7
Measure and Add Sugar: Add sugar to the soup base in the bowl, using the empty ramen packet as a guide to measure an equal amount as the soup base. This ensures the perfect sweet and savory balance.
Step 8
Add Ketchup: Add 2 tablespoons of ketchup. This is roughly equivalent to two full spoonfuls from a standard dining spoon.
Step 9
Mix the Sauce Base: Using chopsticks or a thin teaspoon, thoroughly mix the soup base, sugar, and ketchup. The desired consistency should be thick, similar to a paste or thick chili sauce. Using these tools will help ensure a smooth mix and make cleanup easier.
Step 10
Second Microwave Round (Sauce): Place the mixed sauce into the microwave and heat for just 15 seconds. This brief heating will help dissolve the sugar, creating a smoother, more sauce-like texture.
Step 11
Add Mayonnaise: Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise to the sauce. (Again, about two spoonfuls from a dining spoon.)
Step 12
Final Sauce Mix: Mix everything together thoroughly until the mayonnaise is well incorporated. Your delicious chili-mayo dipping sauce is now complete!
Step 13
Serve and Enjoy: Dip the extra crispy ramyeon-ttang into the tangy, sweet, and savory chili-mayo sauce for an ultimate snack! Enjoy your homemade treat!
