Description

Buldak Peanut Butter Ramen is a rich, creamy, and spicy twist on classic Korean ramen. Combining the fiery Buldak Carbonara seasoning with smooth peanut butter, kewpie mayo, and egg yolks creates a luscious sauce that coats the noodles perfectly. This quick and easy recipe delivers a delightful balance of spicy, nutty, and savory flavors with a creamy texture, garnished with fresh green onions, sesame seeds, and optional chili oil for an extra kick.

Ingredients

Ramen and Sauce

  • 2 packages Buldak Carbonara ramen
  • 3 Tbsp kewpie mayo
  • 2 Tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 – 1.25 cups boiling hot water from cooking ramen

Garnishes

  • Chopped green onions, to taste
  • Sesame seeds, to taste
  • Chili oil, optional, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Prepare the Buldak Carbonara ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles but reserve about 1 to 1.25 cups of the hot, starchy cooking water for the sauce.
  2. Prepare the sauce: While the noodles are cooking, combine the Buldak seasoning packets, kewpie mayo, peanut butter, grated garlic, and egg yolks in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly to form a thick paste. Gradually add the reserved boiling hot noodle water, starting with about 1 cup, stirring continuously until the mixture loosens and becomes a creamy soup. Adjust the water amount if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  3. Combine noodles and sauce: Add the cooked noodles into the creamy peanut butter and Buldak sauce mixture. Toss well to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
  4. Garnish and serve: Plate the coated noodles and garnish with chopped green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and drizzle with chili oil if you prefer extra spiciness. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of Buldak seasoning according to your spice tolerance as it can be quite fiery.
  • Kewpie mayo adds a unique umami and creaminess; regular mayo can be substituted but will alter the flavor slightly.
  • Peanut butter should be smooth for easier mixing; natural peanut butter can be used but may require more stirring.
  • Reserved noodle cooking water helps create a silky sauce and should be added hot to cook the egg yolks gently and avoid curdling.
  • Feel free to customize garnishes like adding crushed peanuts or fresh herbs for more texture and flavor.
