Spicy Ramen Dumplings Recipe

Introduction

These Spicy Ramen Dumplings combine the fiery kick of Buldak HOT chicken ramen with the delicate texture of rice paper wrappers. Filled with melted Emmental cheese and fresh spring onions, they make a deliciously unique snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

• 1 packet of Buldak HOT Chicken Flavour Ramen
• 6 sheets of rice paper
• 2 slices of Emmental cheese, cut into 6 small pieces
• 2 spring onions, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Cook the noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
2. Step 2: Pour some warm water onto a plate and soak one sheet of rice paper for about 30 seconds until soft and pliable.
3. Step 3: Lay the softened rice paper on a flat, clean surface. Place about a tablespoon of noodles in the center, add a piece of Emmental cheese, and sprinkle some chopped spring onions on top.
4. Step 4: Fold and wrap the rice paper carefully around the filling to form a sealed dumpling. Set it aside on a lightly oiled plate to prevent sticking.
5. Step 5: Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining ingredients to make six dumplings, reserving a small portion of spring onions for the dipping sauce.
6. Step 6: Heat a teaspoon of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the dumplings for about 4 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
7. Step 7: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the leftover spring onions to create a flavorful dipping sauce. Serve the hot dumplings with the sauce and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, add finely chopped water chestnuts or cabbage to the noodle filling.
• Swap Emmental cheese with mozzarella or cheddar for different flavor profiles.
• If you prefer less spice, use a milder ramen and add chili flakes separately to control heat.

Storage

Store any leftover cooked dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat by pan-frying gently or in an oven to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving to keep the wrapper from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of noodles for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute the Buldak HOT chicken noodles with any cooked instant noodles or even fresh ramen if you prefer a different flavor or spice level.

Is rice paper the same as dumpling wrappers?

No, rice paper wrappers are thinner and used primarily for fresh spring rolls, while traditional dumpling wrappers are thicker and made from wheat flour. Rice paper gives these dumplings a unique light and crispy texture when fried.

Instructions

2. Soften Rice Paper: Pour warm water onto a plate and soak one rice paper sheet for about 30 seconds until softened and pliable.
3. Assemble Dumplings: Lay the softened rice paper flat on a clean surface. Add about a tablespoon of cooked noodles to the center, top with one piece of Emmental cheese and some finely chopped spring onions.
4. Wrap Dumplings: Carefully fold the rice paper around the filling to form a parcel, sealing the edges. Place the wrapped dumpling onto a lightly oiled plate to prevent sticking.

Notes

• Use caution when frying to avoid burning the delicate rice paper. Moderate heat works best.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of spring onion in the filling and sauce to your taste.
• If you want a milder dish, consider using a less spicy ramen variety.
• Rice paper dumplings are best enjoyed fresh to maintain crispiness.
• Vegetarian adaptation: Substitute chicken-flavored ramen with vegetable-flavored ramen and use a vegetarian cheese alternative.
