The way students can fill their hunger when their mothers are not at home
The five steps of making ramyon


You feel exhausted and starving after school, so you hustle to your home to eat delicious
­snack your mom would provide. But when you arrived at home, you soon find out that your
mom went out, and that she will be gone for hours. Then how should you fill your hunger?
Would you have to wait for your mom? The answer I will say is "No." Instead, you should make
ramyon to fulfill your desire. Ramyon is a popular Korean instant noodle with a little spicy soup.
It is quick, cheap, simple to make, and yet delicious. Five minutes is enough to make delicious
ramyon. You do not have to be a skilled cook or have expensive equipments at all. And the
coolest thing is that you no longer need your mom for snacks. You will be proud of yourself that
you made your own snack. There are basically five steps of making ram yon.
Before you begin making ram yon, what you should first do is to check if you have all the
necessary materials. You need two iron pots, chopstick, water, and ram yon packet that you can
buy from a supermarket for 500 won. You can also bring kimchi and rice if you want to. Next,
gently peel off the packet. That is it for the first step.
When you have all the equipments, the second step is to put the iron pots over a fire. You
must make sure that you have permission from your mom to use fire and that it is safe to use it.
Then put 550 milliliter of water in both pots. Putting accurate amount of water will make the
soup and noodles taste better, so be as accurate as possible. Next, start boiling the water in the
pots, and make sure to close the pots with lids, so the water will not evaporate as it is heated up. Now get ready to proceed to the most important part.
When water is boiling briskly, put ramyon sauce and the noodles into the two separated pots, which is the third step. Be very careful when you put the noodles in. Do not ever just drop
it from air like a bungee jump because splash of hot water will hurt you. This process is certainly
the most important part because when to put noodles into water determines the taste. If you put itin too soon, the noodles will just taste like soft eraser dust; however, if you put it in too late, thenit will taste like crunchy grits dipped in water for a while, and you would never want that kind ofnoodles especially when you are hungry. Go to the next step if you grabbed chopstick.
The fourth step is stirring the noodles clockwise with chopstick, so they will be soft. Also
do not forget to spread the ram yon sauce to help the soup taste better. Usually it takes around
three to four minutes for the noodles to become soft. You are definitely fine to proceed to the
next step if you see the soft ram yon noodles and reddish soup.
Not many people know this fifth strategy besides my family. What you have to do is to
take out the water in the pot that has noodles in, and to put the noodles into the pot that has
ramyon soup. The noodles get less oily by this process. Now you are done making ram yon if you
stir and spread the noodles out calmly. Now it is time for you to enjoy your snack that you have
made in five minutes. Pick the noodles up and blow on, so you will not bum your mouth, and
enjoy it. You could eat ram yon with kimchi if you think Korean food suits you. It is also possible
for you to put rice in the soup if you are very hungry. You may make ram yon whenever you feel hungry.
