How to Make Rabokki | Easy Korean Ramen Dish

Rabokki is basically the same as Tteokbokki—a spicy and sweet Korean dish. But instead of rice cakes, this version uses ramen noodles!

For this recipe, instant ramen noodles work best, but you can also use dried or fresh noodles if you prefer.

🍳 How to Make Rabokki

Making Rabokki is super fast and easy!

All you need is one pot and a few simple ingredients. The spicy, sweet sauce comes together quickly, and the noodles cook in just a few minutes. It’s the perfect comfort food when you’re craving something bold and satisfying—especially on a busy day! Let’s get started!

In a pot or a wok, pour Korean ultimate stock and add gochujang (Korean red pepper paste), gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), soy sauce, and sugar.

Stir well until gochujang and sugar have dissolved completely and bring it to a boil over high heat.

Korean ultimate stock has lots of flavors from onion, garlic, peppercorns dried shiitake, green onions, dried anchovy, and dried seaweed. Check out my recipe because it will be my first choice for this recipe but you can also use chicken stock!

Add fish cake, cabbage, white/light green part of then green onions and carrot. Bring back to boil and let it keep boiling for 2 to 3 minutes. 

Add ramen noodles and hard-boiled eggs, and cook the noodles until they’re done to your liking, or just follow the instructions on the package.

I used Korean plain instant ramen noodles. They’re basically the same as regular instant noodles, just without the seasoning. You can find them online or at Korean grocery stores, but honestly, any instant ramen you have on hand will work great!

Toss in the dark green part of the green onions.

Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with sesame seeds.

Serve with fried dumplings or/and kimbap!

Enjoy!
