Easy, delicious and addictive Korean instant cup noodles!

How to make Korean instant cup noodles | MyKoreanKitchen.com

Korean instant cup noodles are very popular particularly among teenagers in Korea. I know it’s not a healthy meal choice but every now and then I do have this urge to have instant cup noodles! Don’t you?

These particular times for me are on a rainy day or when I see someone eating it on the TV.  They just make the noodles so darn delicious!

In my opinion, instant cup noodles give a different feeling of joy compared to regular instant noodles. The noodles are thinner and they tend to be bouncier, which I really love!

So today I want to share how I make Korean instant cup noodles. I know making instant cup noodles is pretty straight forward but it’s always good to put these types of instructions in writing just in case there are people who have no clue about it! 😉

I will be demonstrating this with one of my all time favourite Korean instant cup noodles – Wang Ddukkeong (왕뚜껑). It literally means King (sized) lid. Yeah, this cup noodle container is by far one of the largest around. This brand has been around as long as I can remember (25+ years at least!) and it’s pretty tasty too. If you haven’t tried it, you should!

  1. Tear open half of the paper/plastic lid. (Some brands may have a dotted line as an indicator.) Add the powdered sauce (from packet 1) and dried vegetables and meat (from packet 2).
  2. Pour some boiling (100 C/212 F) water up to the inside line of the container.
  3. Put the lid on and weigh down the lid with a set of chopsticks or a light plate.
  4. Wait patiently for 2 to 3 minutes then stir the noodles well with chopsticks. Dig in!
