Ingredients (5)
Directions
In a small saucepan, heat vegetable oil (½ cup) to 350°F Separately, bring a large pot filled with waterwater to a boil.
While the oil (½ cup) is heating and the water is boiling, to a medium sized mixing bowl add all seasoning and sauce packets from your 2 ramen packages (2 servings) and mix to combine. Add gochugaru (1 ½ Tbsp) and mix to combine. Then carefully pour hot oil (½ cup) into the mixing bowl, stirring with a whisk until fully combined. The mixture will aggressively bubble, so be careful not to burn yourself here.
Add your 2 dry noodle squares to the boiling waterwater and cook according to package directions.
Using a spider, or tongs, transfer your noodles into your chile oil and mix until combined. Transfer to a plate and garnish with green onion and garlic.
