The Best Spicy Kimchi Ramen Noodles

When it comes to eating ramen, there are so many ways to make your noodles taste delicious! I wanted to go with an Asian fusion dish that was spicy but unique! This recipe is for kimchi lovers like me!

The first thing you want to do for this recipe is dice up your Spam and crisp it up in a skillet. I love that golden brow color! When that is done, set that aside. Dice up your kimchi so it is small. I like to make my pieces pretty uniform so it fits better as a sauce rather than having whole pieces of cabbage with your noodles. When those are chopped, chop your garlic.

In the same non-stick skillet, add your chopped kimchi, garlic, and 1 heaping tbsp of Gojuchang paste. Then slowly drizzle in your heavy cream. Reduce the heat to a medium low and let the sauce simmer and thicken. When the sauce is ready, add your cooked ramen noodles.

For extra flavor, cook a sunny-side up egg! I love a great runny yoke. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds!
