Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Korean rice cakes (tteok)
  • 60 grams additional rice cakes
  • 1 pack Carbonara Buldak ramen
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 slice American cheese
  • 1 Korean cheese corndog (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare aromatics: Chop the garlic clove and green onion finely to release their flavors for cooking.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and green onions, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add gochujang: Stir in 1 tablespoon of gochujang into the sautéed aromatics, mixing well to combine the spicy paste evenly.
  4. Add water and bring to boil: Pour in 2 cups of water and increase heat to high to bring it to a boil.
  5. Cook rice cakes and fish cakes: Add 1 cup plus 60 grams of rice cakes and fish cakes (if using), and boil on high for 3 minutes until the rice cakes start to soften and become chewy.
  6. Add Buldak ramen noodles and sauce: Add the ramen noodles along with the Carbonara Buldak sauce packets to the pan.
  7. Adjust liquid as needed: If the sauce starts drying out during cooking, add additional water to maintain a good consistency.
  8. Cook noodles: Continue cooking on high heat for 5 minutes until noodles are cooked through and the sauce thickens.
  9. Finish with cheese: Turn off the heat and lay a slice of American cheese on top of the hot noodles to melt. You can also sprinkle additional green onions and optional sesame seeds for garnish.
  10. Prepare corndog (optional): Air-fry the Korean cheese corndog according to package instructions—typically 12 minutes at 320°F (160°C)—until crispy and heated through. Serve alongside the dish.

Notes

  • If the sauce becomes too thick, add small amounts of water gradually rather than all at once.
  • You can adjust the amount of gochujang based on your spice preference.
  • The cheese adds a creamy balance to the spicy sauce—feel free to use other soft melting cheeses.
  • The optional corndog provides added texture and flavor for a more filling meal.
  • Use fresh rice cakes for best texture; frozen ones may require longer cooking.
