This jjamppong ramyeon lets you enjoy a spicy, comforting bowl at home using squid and ramen noodles. Aromatic seasonings and vegetables are stir-fried in chili oil, then simmered in anchovy broth for a deep, refreshing soup. The noodles are boiled separately until springy, rinsed in cold water, and finished by pouring the piping-hot broth over them.

Steps
Add chili oil, garlic, and ginger powder to a heated frying pan and stir-fry to release their aroma.
Add the onion, carrot, and squash over medium heat and stir-fry briefly.
Add the squid and all the remaining vegetables.
Add oyster sauce and mirin (cooking rice wine), then stir-fry.
It felt like there was not quite enough chili oil, so I added more gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) while stir-frying.
If you dislike spicy food, you do not need to add the extra gochugaru.
Once the squid is cooked and the seasonings have blended well, pour in 5 cups of anchovy broth.
Bring the broth to a rolling boil.
Once the broth is boiling, season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Boil the ramen noodles until firm and springy, rinse them in cold water, and drain well.
Place the ramen noodles in a bowl and pour the hot jjamppong broth over them.

FAQ
What can I substitute if I don't have oyster sauce?
You can use 1 tbsp of soy sauce instead of oyster sauce.
How can I reduce the spiciness?
If you prefer less heat, simply skip adding the extra gochugaru during the stir-frying step.
Can I use different vegetables for the ingredients?
Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have in your fridge, such as cabbage or mushrooms.
Can I boil the noodles directly in the broth? AI-generated
While you can boil them together, cooking the noodles separately and rinsing them in cold water before ladling the broth on top keeps the broth clear and preserves a chewy texture.
