3 Best TikTok Ramen Hacks

The 3 best TikTok ramen hacks. There are hundreds and thousands of ramen hack videos all over the Internet, so it’s hard to know which ones are the best. I’ve tried countless different ways of preparing instant ramen and these are my three absolute favourites:

• Creamy mayo ramen
• Chilli oil ramen
• Rose rabokki

I used Shin kimchi ramen as I love the flavour. However, feel free to use your favourite ramen. I would also recommend regular Shin ramen, or Jin ramen.

Creamy mayo ramen

This egg mayo ramen recipe is the perfect way to turn your instant ramen into a creamy and indulgent treat.

Start by adding Kewpie mayo, egg yolk, garlic, and ramen seasoning into a ramen bowl. Whisk together until well combined.

Cook your ramen in 500mls of water. I always cook my ramen for 1 minute less than the packet instructions suggests, this keeps them chewy and delicious.

Reserve half of the ramen water and drain.

Add a ladleful of the ramen water to the egg mayo mix and whisk together. For a soupier ramen, whisk in the remaining ramen water.

Stir through the drained noodles and sprinkle with spring onions and sesame seeds, enjoy!

Chilli oil ramen

This is probably the most iconic TikTok ramen hack, and for good reason! It is also extremely easy to make and can be ready in just 10 minutes.

In a heat proof bowl combine together minced garlic, spring onion, chilli flakes, white pepper, sugar, and the seasoning from the ramen packet.

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan until very hot. Pour over the spices. They will sizzle and become fragrant.

Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar. Cook your noodles until al dente, drain, and add to the chilli oil.

Serve sprinkled with the green part of the spring onion, enjoy!

Rose rabokki

Rabokki is a Korean dish which combines noodles with rice cakes (tteok). Rose means that there is cream in the sauce, which gives it a pinky, creamy twist.

Start by frying some spring onions and garlic in oil. Mix in water, gochugaru, gochujang, the seasoning packet (I recommend using around half so it’s not too salty), sesame oil, and soy sauce.

Once combined, lower the heat and stir through the milk and cream. Add in your rice cakes and simmer gently for a few minutes until they have softened.

Stir in the cooked noodles. Sprinkle over the mozzarella cheese and the green part of the spring onion. Cover with a lid until the cheese has melted. Enjoy!

Method

 

Creamy Egg Ramen

1. Add the egg yolk, mayonnaise, seasoning packet (don't add it all if you don't want it too salty), and garlic to a heat-proof bowl. Whisk together until well combined.
2. Cook your ramen in 500 ml of water until al dente. Reserve half of the ramen water before draining.
3. Add a ladleful of the ramen water to the egg mix and whisk until combined. For a soupier broth, add the remaining reserved water.
4. Stir the drained noodles into the broth.
5. Serve garnished with the spring onion and sesame seeds.

Chilli oil ramen

1. Cook your ramen until just al dente – I like to cook them for 1 minute less than suggested by the packet instructions. Drain. Meanwhile, prepare the chilli oil.
2. Into a heat-proof bowl add in the 1-2 tsp of the ramen seasoning packet, sesame seeds, white pepper, spring onion (white part only), garlic, sugar, and chilli flakes.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan until very hot. Pour the hot oil over your ingredients.
4. Stir in the sesame oil, both soy sauces, and vinegar. Add in the noodles and toss to combine.
5. Serve garnished with the green part of the spring onion.

Rose rabokki

1. Cook your ramen noodles until just before al dente, I recommend cooking them for 1 minute less than suggested by the packet instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
2. Heat your oil in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Add in the spring onion (white part only) and garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
3. Pour in the water, gochugaru, gochujang, seasoning packet (I recommend using ¼-½ so it's not too salty), sesame oil, and soy sauce. Mix until combined.
4. Lower the heat and stir through the milk and cream.
5. Add in the rice cakes and simmer gently, stirring often, until the rice cakes are squishy and the sauce has thickened, around 7-8 minutes. If the sauce is too thick (or you want a soupier consistency), add more water.
6. Stir through the noodles and sprinkle over the mozzarella and the green part of the spring onion.
7. Cover the pan for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Serve immediately, enjoy!
