Instant Ramen Soup Dumplings
Instant ramen really deserves its place as the queen of snacks. Cheap, quick to make (it's all in the name) and delicious, what isn't there to like?
2 hours cook
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 1 packet instant ramen of your choice
- 300mlwater
- 2 tsppowdered gelatine
- 8dumpling wrappers
- (optional) to tasteramen bits: shredded chicken, spring onions, soft boiled quails eggs
- to tastesesame seeds, chilli oil
This recipe takes the humble packaged snack and elevates it to dumpling form. We love a little hack here at Twisted, and these really tick that box. Simply take the packaged ramen seasoning and mix into water then add gelatine and - bingo - you've got a delicious, spicy broth perfect for stuffing into wrappers.
Method
This one is so simple. Get your packet of ramen and whisk the sachets into the water, along with the gelatine. Set in the fridge until solid, then whisk to break up and pop back in the fridge.
Break the noodle nest up into chunks and set aside.
We find it helps to place the dumpling wrappers in a small bowl to make the dumpling making process easier.
Pop a tablespoon of the gelatinised soup in the middle of the wrapper, topped with the crumbled noodles and any other ramen pieces you may like.
Pleat and pinch the wrappers together, leaving a tiny hole if you can to allow steam to escape.
Place them on a little circle of greaseproof to stop them sticking to the steamer and steam for around 8 minutes.
Serve carefully as the soup is hot. Sprinkle with chilli oil and sesame seeds.
