Super Simple Recipe: Flavor-Exploding Scallion and Dumpling Ramen
Introducing a ramen recipe that’s easy and quick to make with ingredients you likely have at home, featuring a fantastic harmony of scallions and dumplings. The spicy yet deep broth is simply exquisite!
Key Ingredients- 1 packet of ramen (choose your favorite)
- 2 scallions (small size; use 1 if large)
- 3 Tbsp cooking oil
- 550ml water
- 5 frozen dumplings
- 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the scallions that will add aroma to your ramen. Finely chop 2 scallions. If your scallions are thick or large, one will be sufficient. Slicing them thinly will help their flavor infuse better.
Step 2
Get your ramen pot ready and generously coat the bottom with 3 tablespoons of cooking oil. The oil helps to enhance the savory flavor of the scallions.
Step 3
Once the pot is warm, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and let its fragrance bloom. The garlic aroma, combined with the oil, will make the ramen broth richer and more complex.
Step 4
As soon as you can smell the garlic, add all the chopped scallions to the pot.
Step 5
Turn the heat to medium-high and sauté the scallions for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Sauté until the scallions become translucent and release their sweet aroma. Be careful not to overcook, as they can burn.
Step 6
Once the scallions and garlic are nicely sautéed, pour in 550ml of water. You can refer to the water amount indicated on your ramen package, but you can reduce it slightly if you prefer a richer broth.
Step 7
As the water begins to boil, stir in 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes (gochugaru) for a spicy kick. Adjust the amount according to your preference.
Step 8
Now, carefully add 5 frozen dumplings to the pot for a hearty element. As the dumplings cook, they will contribute to a more flavorful broth.
Step 9
Once the dumplings start to cook, add the long-awaited ramen noodles. Gently loosen the noodles to prevent them from clumping together.
Step 10
Don’t forget to add the soup base that comes with the ramen packet. Stir well to dissolve the powder into the broth.
Step 11
Now, cook until the noodles reach your desired texture, and your delicious Scallion and Dumpling Ramen is complete! You can enjoy the noodles slightly undercooked for a chewy texture or fully cooked for a softer bite, depending on your preference. Enjoy your meal!
