Korean Rabokki sweet and spicy ramen recipe is a combination of the words for Ramyeon (라면, instant ramen noodles) and Tteokbokki (떡볶이, Korean spicy rice cakes). We actually prefer Rabokki more than Tteokbokki as there are more interesting and delicious additional ingredients in it. A favorite after-school dish among Korean high school students, this dish is essentially Korean ramen and Tteokbokki fused into one dish.
If you like Traditional Tteokbokki, you’ll love this variation! For this recipe, we experimented to find a good spice level. A good balance between spicy and sweet. That way, you don’t sweat through your t-shirt. But spicy enough to keep you happy and coming back for the next bite.
