Korean Instant Noodle Combinations Part 2 | Oppa's Guide

Hi everyone. We're Creatrip, your personal Korean travel guide.

Did you guys enjoy Oppa's ramen combinations part 1? Well... there is more! Today, I'll show you how to combine ramen with things you can buy from the convenient stores. I'll probably gain a few pounds but for you guys, it's worth it!

1. Cheese Bokki + Spaghetti Ramen

Directions  

• Step 1. Put vegetable flakes and boiling water in a cup noodle.
• Step 2. When the noodles are cooked, pour all the water out.
• Step 3. Mix both ramens with soup.

It tastes like tomato spaghetti with a lot of cheese! I personally don't like this combination so I wouldn't recommend it, but if you like cheesy things than give it a try. However, I really liked Cheese Bokki + Ramen Bokki combination! You should definitely give that combination a try. 

2. Sesame Ramen + Nooroongji + Roasted Seaweed (김자반볶음)

Directions 

• Step 1. Put the Nooroongji under the noodle, and flakes and soup on top of the noodles.
• Step 2. Add boiling water and wait for the noodles to cook.
• Step 3. When ramen is done add the roasted seaweed and mix well.

Fun fact, this was a combination that was recommended by a Youtuber! It became so popular that the ramen company actually released their own Nooroongjitang Ramen! Noodles and Nooroongji is an unusual combination but it tastes really savoury! Nooroongji, when soaked in ramen, becomes tempura-like.

To be honest, roasted seaweed can be put on any ramen and will taste good. If I could, I would want this combination to win a Nobel prize. It's that good. You should really try this!

3. Neoguri + Curry Powder

Directions

• Step 1. Add noodles and vegetable flakes to boiling water.
• Step 2. When the noodles are cooked, add Neoguri soup and two tablespoons of curry powder (based on one ramen).
• Step 3. Boil in low heat.

This combination for some reason is ordered a lot at PC bangs. For the taste, it's good but nothing super special. Neoguri and curry in itself have their distinct taste, so when you mix them together, it's quite predictable. 

4. Beef Seaweed Soup Ramen + Boiled Egg

Directions

• Step 1. Add noodles and vegetable flakes to boiling water.
• Step 2. When the noodles are cooked, add seaweed soup.
• Step 3. Finally, add the boiling egg and crush it with a spoon. 

In Korea, we have this tradition where we eat seaweed soup on our birthday. That's why I think seaweed ramen exists today. There is this new trend in adding a boiled egg on seaweed soup ramen. The picture above is the actual Seaweed ramen, and it seems there is more seaweed than I expected. 

Now, this is a traditional Korean seaweed soup! If you've never tried seaweed soup, you could try seaweed soup ramen to experience it in second hand. I personally didn't think this was one of the best combination of ramens though. 

5. Shinramyun Black + Raw Egg

Directions

• Step 1. Place the powder soup and flake on top of noodles. 
• Step 2. Pour boiling water and wait for the noodles to cook. 
• Step 3. When you have finished the noodles, crack one raw egg into the remaining soup.
• Step 4. Put into a microwave for 4 minutes.

Shinramyun Black is quite expensive for instant ramen. The reason is that it contains much higher quality flakes and powder soup than other instant ramens. 

For the taste, its chunky flakes and pudding-like egg seem to blend really well. It's a little bit salty but not so much that you don't want to eat it if you are still peckish after finishing the noodles then you should give this one a try. It's effortless to make. You just add a raw egg into the soup and done!
