creamy buldak ramen noodles

Course: Main Course, noodles
Cuisine: asian

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups water
  • 3/4 cup milk or heaavy cream
  • 1 cup rice cakes ((Tteokbokki)
  • 1/2 tbl soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup mozzerella cheese
  • green onion for garnish
Add to the noodles
  • soft boiled egg
  • potstickers

Method
 

  1. Soak the rice cakes (Tteokbokki)  in cold water for 5 minutes. Rinse then drain the water. 
  2. Bring a small pot of water to a boil then add in the Buldak noodles. Boil for 3 minutes, reserve 8 tablespoons of water then drain the rest.
  3. Add back in the reserved noodle water, rice cakes (Tteokbokki), Buldak flavor packet, 3/4 cup of heavy cream or milk, and 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce. Bring back to a slight boil and continue to cook for another 2 minutes stirring on occasion then turn the heat off. ( for best results don’t skip the milk! it makes spicy ramen super creamy and saucy)
  4.  Next, add the mozzarella cheese, measure with your heart here (I usually do 1/3 cup) then give it a good mix.  Transfer the noodles into a bowl then sprinkle on top the sesame seeds packet and garnish with chopped green onions. Add in a soft-boiled egg ( the egg yolk adds extra flavor) and or a few potstickers and it’s ready to serve! 
  5. It is best if consumed right away! Enjoy a tall glass of your favorite cold drink! My favorite drink to enjoy with creamy Buldak ramen noodles is my homemade water kefir

Notes

TIPS!

  • do not skip the milk, you can use heavy cream or half and half for creamier noodles
  • mozzarella cheese is a must for this recipe! 
  • you can add only half of the flavor packet, but that also means you are adding half the flavor. Add double the soy sauce if you will do this, to add in more flavor.
  • creamy Buldak noodles are delicious wrapped in seaweed or rice paper with a slice of cucumber!
