Spicy & Sweet Hong Kong-Style Tomato Ramen
Simple Tomato Ramen Recipe That Reminds You of Hong Kong
An irresistible, unique flavor! A truly addictive taste.
Ingredients- 1 packet of instant ramen (choose your favorite)
- 6 cherry tomatoes (fresh and sweet)
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp vinegar (for a zesty kick)
- 1 Korean chili pepper (adjust for spice preference)
- 1/2 onion (for sweetness and depth)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by prepping the ingredients! First, finely mince 1 Korean chili pepper. Removing the seeds is optional, but mincing it finely will help release its spicy aroma. Thinly slice half an onion. Wash 6 cherry tomatoes, remove the stems, and cut them in half for easier cooking.
Step 2
Now, let’s build the flavorful broth base. Pour 450ml of water into a pot. Add the sliced onion and the halved cherry tomatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat for about 1 minute, allowing the flavors of the onion and tomatoes to infuse the water. The tomatoes will soften slightly, releasing their natural sweetness.
Step 3
While the broth is simmering, add the ramen noodles, soup base packet, and dried vegetable flakes from your ramen package to the boiling water. For extra flavor, add the minced garlic (1/2 Tbsp) and vinegar (1 Tbsp) for a bright, tangy note. If you like it spicier, now is the time to add the minced Korean chili pepper.
Step 4
Once the noodles are cooked to your liking, turn off the heat immediately to prevent them from becoming soggy. Transfer the steaming hot tomato ramen to a bowl. Enjoy every delicious slurp! The delightful combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors will transport you straight to the vibrant streets of Hong Kong. ^^
