Some people have a go-to coffee order or a favorite lip gloss. Lately, I have this ramen bowl. And it’s not just any noodles—it’s my fork-twirled, chili-crunched, egg-topped moment of comfort that starts with the Momofuku Starter Pack.
The pack is super simple: it comes with five packs of noodles (they’re air-dried, not fried), a jar of Momofuku’s iconic Chili Crunch (and the spoon), and a pair of chopsticks I keep meaning to learn how to use but never do.
Here’s how I make mine:
- I cook the noodles in about four minutes, drain them, and toss them with the included sauce.
- Then I add two hard-boiled eggs for protein and creaminess.
- I spoon on a generous scoop of Chili Crunch—the kind of spicy, crispy heat that makes everything taste better.
- I throw in steamed broccoli (because it makes me feel balanced, even when I’m eating in bed).
And instead of chopsticks? I use a fork. I know that’s basically a culinary sin when it comes to ramen, but I twirl mine like spaghetti, and it just works for me. No judgment.
It’s fast, filling, and fully customizable. Some nights I add mushrooms or spinach. Sometimes I make it a little spicier with extra chili oil. It’s the kind of pantry staple that makes you feel like you’re doing something right—even if dinner only took ten minutes.
I’ll include the link where you can grab the exact pack I use and a video of how I make it. But if you do try it, just know you don’t need perfect chopstick form to enjoy it. A fork gets the job done beautifully.
