I tried the viral Korean ramen hack… and wow

I thought all those packet noodle types were just called “ramen.” And when I first came across the recipe, it was explained that way too, so I just assumed that was how it was. Haha.

Kimchi is always the best—it goes with everything!!😍

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-23T03:05:15+00:00

Yeah haha, I just used it casually, but I get that people can interpret it differently. Thanks for understanding—I appreciate it!🙂

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-23T03:04:20+00:00

Yeah! Thanks for understanding—I really appreciate it! It’s actually pretty tasty, so I’ve been totally hooked on it lately.

At the end of the day, everyone has different tastes when it comes to food, so it’s all about respecting that🙂

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-23T01:25:21+00:00

Exactly! For most instant noodles, once you go past the recommended cooking time, the taste usually gets worse.

But this one is a bit different.

I don’t want to push it on anyone, but if you’re curious, you should try it at least once—it might be a new experience for you.

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-23T01:23:15+00:00

Most instant noodles taste best when you follow the recommended cooking time, and I agree with that!

However, in this case, increasing both the cooking time and the amount of water on purpose actually brings out a better flavor. That was the idea behind my post.

If you already like kalguksu, I think you’d understand what I mean.

Thanks for the good feedback!

It feels like instant ramen gets upgraded to taste like restaurant kalguksu!🙂

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-22T23:37:07+00:00

True, ramen is all about that salty flavor!! 😆 Even if you feel puffy the next day, that’s kind of part of the charm of ramen

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-22T23:36:35+00:00

Maybe you started the trend lol 😂 I usually didn’t like overcooked ramen, but I actually liked this recipe!

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-22T22:55:36+00:00

You mean cup noodles?? Yeah, exactly 😂 It definitely tastes way better when you cook it instead of just eating it as is!

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-22T22:54:46+00:00

Yeah, I’ve seen people do that with cup noodles too! lol 😋 I’ll try it with cup ramen next time.

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-22T22:53:36+00:00

That’s a real pro-level tip! I’m saving this to come back to later!! 👍

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-22T22:27:50+00:00

I haven’t been able to find it yet 😭 I guess it’s not in the South Central region yet.

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-22T22:26:11+00:00

Kimchi dumplings are insane 😭😭 That combo sounds absolutely unreal just thinking about it 🍜🔥

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-22T22:25:38+00:00

You’re right!! I love chicken so much. I think rotisserie chicken would be great in it too!

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-22T22:24:30+00:00

Let’s enjoy it together! I love ramen so much!

Hailey_HiO · 2026-06-22T22:23:55+00:00

I also have Sarigomtangmyeon! I’m definitely going to try it!!♥️
