Introduction

If you love bold Korean flavors and crave a spicy, comforting meal, Easy Buldak Soup Ramen is the perfect dish for you. Ready in just 15 minutes, this hearty soup combines fiery ramen with creamy cheese and a poached egg for extra richness.

A bowl of ramen with rich orange broth fills most of the space, with curly noodles visible beneath the surface. On the left side, there are sliced mushrooms topped with white sesame seeds, and shredded cooked chicken sits beside them. In the middle, there is a pile of thinly shredded dark seaweed on top of chopped green onions. To the right, two halves of a soft-boiled egg show bright orange, slightly runny yolks. The bowl is dark with a textured rim, sitting on a white marbled surface, with wooden chopsticks resting in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 pack Buldak Spicy Chicken Ramen (includes sauce and flakes)
400 ml water
100 ml whole milk
1 slice American processed cheese
1 large egg
1 clove garlic, minced
1 stalk green onion, finely sliced
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the vegetable oil in a small pot over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Pour in the water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 3: Add the ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, lifting the noodles occasionally to separate them and aerate the broth.
Step 4: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the liquid sauce packet from the ramen and the whole milk until the broth is smooth and uniform in color.
Step 5: Crack the egg gently into the center of the pot. Allow it to poach undisturbed for 2 minutes for a soft poached egg, or whisk gently to create a richer, egg-drop style broth.
Step 6: Place the cheese slice on top of the noodles and cover the pot for 1 minute until the cheese has completely melted.
Step 7: Remove the pot from heat, then garnish with the included flakes and the sliced green onions before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil to boost the heat level.
You can substitute whole milk with a dairy-free alternative like oat or almond milk if preferred.
Try adding vegetables such as spinach or mushrooms along with the noodles for added texture and nutrition.

Storage

This soup is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water or milk if the broth has thickened.

How to Serve

A bowl of spicy ramen noodles sits on a white marbled surface, with rich orange broth filling the bowl. The ramen noodles form the base layer, curly and soft, mostly submerged in the broth. On one side, slices of cooked mushrooms topped with sesame seeds create a textured, brown layer. Next to the mushrooms, shredded cooked meat is scattered with sesame seeds, adding a light brown layer. In the center, a mound of thinly sliced green onions and black seaweed strips adds a fresh, green and dark contrast. On the right side, a halved soft-boiled egg with bright orange yolks and white edges rests on the noodles. The bowl is white and round, and chopsticks rest nearby on the white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
