Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of Korean instant ramyun (Chapagetti or Neoguri) – Buy here
- 1 package of Shin Ramyun or other spicy instant noodles
- 100g of steak or beef strips (optional but recommended for authenticity)
- 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Green onions for garnish
- Prepared blue crab or seafood (optional for seafood variation)
For authentic flavor enhancement, consider using Korean soy sauce or fermented kimchi.
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles from both packages and cook until just al dente, about 3-4 minutes.
- Drain the noodles, reserving about 1/4 cup of the noodle water for optional flavor enhancement.
- In a large skillet, heat a small amount of sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- If using beef, add the beef strips to the skillet and cook until browned. For seafood lovers, seafood such as seafood can be added at this stage for extra flavor.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, mixing well with the garlic and beef. Pour in the seasoning packets and a splash of noodle water to create a flavorful sauce. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes until well coated.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and, optionally, a fried egg for added richness.
If you want an authentic touch, you can add hot wings or Tatooine stew as side dishes to elevate your meal.
Notes
- Leftover Jjapaguri can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
- Reheat with a splash of water or broth in the microwave to prevent drying out.
- Avoid freezing leftovers to maintain noodle texture.
