Instructions
  1. In a medium sauce pot, add 1 1/2 c water and whole eggs with a pinch of salt just enough to cover the top of the eggs. Set stove to medium/high heat and allow water to come to boil. Set a timer for 6-8 mins depending on how well you want your eggs to turn out. I went for a 4 min egg since I like mine a bit runny.
  2. Once the timer goes off, remove the eggs from the water and transfer them to a bowl. Turn the heat down to low and reserve water until you are ready to use to cook the ramyun. Once eggs are cooled, peel off the shells and set aside.
  3. In a separate, deep sauté, fry or wok pan, add spam and fish cakes. Turn heat to high and fry until edges are browned for 4 mins. Transfer to a bowl.
  4. Return pan to stove and add water, gochujang, gochujaru, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, pepper, soup mix. Bring to a boil. Add in onions, cabbage, sliced chilis and rice cakes. Boil for about 8 mins or until the rice cakes are soft and the sauce has thickened nicely. Turn the heat down to medium if it begins to splash.
  5. Add in green onions, spam, boiled eggs and fish cakes. Boil for another 2 mins. Finish with starch syrup if you want them to extra glossy and slightly sweet. Set aside.
  6. Turn the heat for the water pot to high. Remove ramyun from packet. Add to the boiling water. Cook to desired tenderness, I like mine at around 2 mins, al dente. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
  7. Return pot to the stove and add butter. When butter is melted and glistening, add in sliced hot dogs. Sauté lightly, add 1/4 water, seasoning packet if desired, and bring to a boil. Add ramyun noodles and american cheese. Turn heat off and gently fold noodles into the sauce.
  8. Prepare two bowls with 50/50 tteokbokki and hot dog cheesy ramyun. Top with more green onions and a sprinkle of your favorite toppings like sesame, more cheese, or seaweed flakes.
