Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Zucchini
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
• 1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 2 Egg
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 cup Cabbage or bok choy
• 1 cup Mushrooms (shiitake or button)
• 1 Red chili pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchini into thin, noodle-like strands. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle boil.

Step 3

Add the gochugaru, gochujang, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the broth. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Slice the mushrooms and chop the cabbage or bok choy into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the pot and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Slice the red chili pepper and two of the green onions. Add them to the broth for added heat and flavor.

Step 6

Lower the heat to a simmer and crack the eggs directly into the broth. Let them poach for 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.

Step 7

Add the zucchini noodles to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes until just tender but still firm (al dente).

Step 8

Drizzle sesame oil over the soup and give it a gentle stir.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Ladle the ramyeon into bowls, ensuring an even distribution of broth, vegetables, and poached egg.

Step 11

Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
