Ingredients

Total cost: $13.95

Cost of Ingredients Used: $3.83

Cost Per Serving: $1.91

  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 servings Samyang Buldak Spicy Ramen (or another ramen of your choice)
  • 1.5 Tbsp (22g) gochugaru
  • 1 stalk green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F or 175°C. Separately, bring a large pot filled with water to a boil. 
  2. While the oil is heating and the water is boiling, to a medium sized mixing bowl add all seasoning and sauce packets from your 2 ramen packages and mix to combine. Add gochugaru and mix to combine. Then carefully pour hot oil into the mixing bowl, stirring with a whisk until fully combined.  The mixture will aggressively bubble, so be careful not to burn yourself here. 
  3. Add your 2 dry noodle squares to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. 
  4. Using a spider, or tongs, transfer your noodles into your chile oil and mix until combined. Transfer to a plate and garnish with green onion and garlic.
