How to Make Cheese Shin Ramen in a Microwave

The main concept behind this recipe is to use just enough water to microwave-cook the noodles. When the cheese begins to melt, you add your toppings and microwave it for a few more seconds. Simply combine it to create a creamy sauce; I also like to crack an egg into it and microwave it to “poach” it. To achieve that, be sure to cover the bowl once you’ve added the egg to the microwave to cook. I’ve also included a brief video at the bottom of the recipe card if you need any visual instructions.

A Savory Broth

This dish’s flavor was inspired by the standard Shin Ramyun flavor from a packet (see our review of all Shin Ramyun products here). I started by reviewing the ingredients list. Unsurprisingly, enriched flour and various colorings, flavors, and preservatives make up the majority of the ingredients; however, a closer look reveals their function. Disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate are two flavor enhancers that are combined with monosodium glutamate (MSG, in this case deftly concealed in the hydrolyzed soy protein and yeast extract that appear later in the ingredients list) to increase the savoriness of foods. They are located close to the top of the ingredient list.

It’s a practical and affordable method for giving food a meaty flavor without actually adding too much meat to it. At home, I prefer to get my glutamates and inosinates from more natural sources, and dashi broth prepared in the Japanese style works perfectly for this.

Dashi starts by steeping giant sea kelp in hot water. Glutamic acid, the amino acid from which commercial MSG is derived, is concentrated in sea kelp.

Additionally, Japanese-named “katsuobushi” (smoked dried bonito flakes) add inosinic acid, glutamic acid’s partner in crime. You can use either bonito flakes or niboshi, which are tiny dried sardines, but I usually prefer the former due to the subtle smoky flavor it adds. I continued with the remaining broth now that I had a reliable source of glutamates and inosinates at my disposal.

  • Using collagen-rich short ribs or oxtails gives the soup flavor and body.
  • Simmering the beef until fork-tender in dashi and chicken stock increases the savoriness of the broth.
  • Browning the beef and aromatics until nicely charred adds a roasty dark caramel flavor.
  • Kimchi juice, gochujang, and fermented Sichuan chile-bean paste add heat, as well as a lactic tang that enlivens the broth.
  • Finishing the bowls by crisping the shredded beef in a skillet adds even more flavor and texture.
  • When I asked you folks for your favorite instant noodle brands on Twitter, I was chuffed to note that a great chunk of you picked my favorite non-Japanese noodle: Shin Cup. Spicy, savory, and intensely garlicky with flavor to spare, its in a league of its own when it comes to ramen (or ramyun, as its called in Korea).

    Here’s something interesting: The idea behind Japanese instant ramen was to develop a fuss-free, quick, and simple version of the authentic dish. Its a sort of toned-down, fast-food version. On the other hand, Korean instant ramyun was a hybrid of Japanese ramen and Korean flavors. In other words, it’s not a quick take on a “real” Korean dish. Ramyun starts and ends with instant noodles.

    Until now, that is. Why can’t we engineer Korean ramyun to be transformed from a delicious simmer-all-day artisan meal into an instant lunch?

    How do you make Shin Cup noodles better?
