Sriracha Ramen Noodle Soup
Ditch that seasoning packet of your instant noodles and make this Sriracha Ramen Noodle Soup instead. It is very comforting and delicious.
Another answer to a craving.
I think that’s always the start of my food posts, yes?
So I’ve been into Korean drama recently and I always see ramen in most of the episodes. Whenever I see the actors/actresses eating ramen, my craving becomes stronger and stronger. Well, you know how naughty I am when it comes to my eating habits… and I confess that I always keep instant/cup noodles with me. You know, anytime I arrive at home starving, I can eat something. Instant fried noodles or noodle soup – I always have them. Don’t judge. 😀
To satisfy the craving, I decided to make myself a ramen noodle soup by adding Sriracha and used vegetable broth, and I also discarded its seasoning packets. I am not sure if it is healthier that way, but hey, I don’t eat this everyday. And let’s not talk about healthy stuff right now. 😀
I really loved how this turned out – delicious, filling and comforting with just enough spiciness from the Sriracha.
You can add toppings or mix-ins you like but I love spring onions, coriander, corn kernel, poached eggs and I add cooked squid balls, too.
I am taking this delicious soup to Fiesta Friday #157 to warm your cold days or to make your warm days warmer. 😛 This week’s FF party is co-hosted by Su and Andrea. Of course, thanks to you, Angie.
I hope you can try the recipe and let me know. I’ve shared a video on my YouTube channel. Please don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe. See you there! 😉
Sriracha Ramen Noodle Soup
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 ripe and firm tomato chopped
- 1-2 tbsp chopped ginger
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1-2 tbsp Sriracha
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 liter water see notes
- 1-2 vegetable cubes see notes
- ½ tbsp soy sauce
- 2 packages ramen noodles seasoning packet discarded
- Spring onions sliced
- Coriander roughly chopped
- Corn kernel optional
- Salt or to taste
- Poached eggs or boiled eggs
- cooked squid balls (optional)
Instructions
-
In a pot over medium-high heat, add cooking oil.
-
Add garlic and ginger; cook until soft.
-
Add tomatoes and onions; cook until soft.
-
Add vegetable cubes, Sriracha, and garlic powder.
-
Turn off the heat and add about ½ cup to 1 cup of water just to prepare the mixture for the blender. Transfer the mixture to a blender and pulse until smooth.
-
Put back the mixture to the pot and then turn on the heat to medium-high.
-
Add the remaining water and let it boil.
-
When boiling, add 2 packages of ramen noodles and simmer until noodles are cooked.
-
Serve with spring onions, coriander, and poached (or boiled) eggs. You can add whatever toppings or mix-ins you fancy. I always love my noodles with corn kernels.
Recipe Notes
Instead of water + vegetable cubes, you can use homemade or store-bought vegetable broth.
You can start with 1 tbsp of Sriracha. I used 2 tbsp & it has just enough spiciness for me.
Thanks a bunch for spending your precious time with me!

Well this looks delicious. Love this sort of soup. I have to confess I’ve never used instant noodles, but noodles are so quick to cook anyway, ramen soup and similar is often a go to.

Believe me, I don’t judge! My pantry is jam-packed with ramen noodles: both the kind you find in ethnic food groceries AND the 25-cent variety. Ramen soup is among the finer things in life, especially with that gorgeous egg on top (I’ve taken to soft boiling and marinating mine if I have the time).

I would really love to have this soup for my lunch sometime this week. It has left my mouth watering…and my stomach rumbling. Thanks for sharing.

I have a jar of sriracha in the cupboard and wow it is spicy stuff! I tasted it but haven’t used it, maybe this needs to change. Thank you for sharing with #CookBlogShare x

I’ve also used sriracha when I made tahini sauce and it turned out lovely. Thanks for stopping by, Kirsty. x

I also regret why it took me so long to make my own. It is better than the one I ate when we went to a noodle house. I am so glad you liked this one. Thanks for stopping by!

Jhuls, you got me with this one!! Like everyone else, even though we know Ramen is not healthy, there is this temptation towards it that is hard not to succumb to! I too make ramen once in a while, the vegetarian version usually.
Your Sriracha Ramen looks delicious!
Thanks for sharing at FF!
Jhuls
Yes, you are right. But we don’t have to eat this everyday, yeah? Once in a while is definitely okay. 😅 Thanks for stopping by, Su.
Corina
This sounds lovely and a great way of using the noodles from those instant packets but making a much more tasty soup with them. Thank you so much for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice

I think most of my dishes start with a craving too, Jhuls! I love the poached egg on this soup and John would love the sriracha too!

Fantastic! I love a good ramen noodle dish (:

Ai @Ai made it for you
Ramen is a major comfort food for me. It’s probably one of my favorite things to have on a gloomy, cold, rainy Sunday when I don’t really feel like doing something complicated in the kitchen haha. Yours looks so good! And that poached egg… omg it looks perfect!
Jhuls
Hmm, the first thing I noticed when I was done with the photos was the poached egg – I didn’t like how it looks. I cannot take another photo because all was gone by the time I checked. Haha! But I am glad you liked it and that made me feel better. 😀 Thanks, Ai. Have a lovely week! x
Lina
Sounds delicious
Jhuls
Thanks, Lina. 🙂
