This recipe is our go-to when we want to turn an ordinary ramen pack into something unforgettable. We’re talking crispy Spam, fragrant scallions, and a broth that hits you with spicy, deep umami flavors. We used Shin Ramyun for this version (because it's a flavor beast), but you can swap in any ramen you love — the choice is yours.

🛒 What You’ll Need (1 Serving)

• 1 pack of instant ramen (Shin Ramyun is our pick)

• 100g Spam (about 1/2 can)

• 1 green onion (scallion)

• 0.5 tbsp Korean chili powder (gochugaru)

• Water (about 50ml more than ramen packet instructions)

Tip: Spam brings a salty punch and chili powder adds heat — that extra splash of water balances it all perfectly.

🍳 How We Make Spam Bomb Ramen

1. Crush the Spam

Toss half a can of Spam into a ziplock bag and crush it gently with your hands. We want juicy chunks — not paste — so don’t overdo it.

2. Slice Up the Good Stuff

Chop up a fresh scallion (you’ll want a generous handful) and slice the remaining Spam into thin strips for topping.

3. Sizzle the Spam & Chili

In a hot pot, add the crushed Spam and sprinkle 0.5 tbsp of gochugaru. Sauté until the Spam gets a golden edge and the chili’s smoky aroma fills the air.(You don’t need extra oil — Spam does the work.)

4. Build the Broth

Pour in water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add the ramen noodles and seasoning packet, letting them soak up all that flavorful broth.

FAQ: Spicy Spam Bomb Ramen – A 5-Minute Flavor Explosion in a Bowl

1. What is Spicy Spam Bomb Ramen?

Spicy Spam Bomb Ramen is a quick Korean-style instant noodle upgrade made by sautéing crushed Spam with Korean chili flakes, then boiling ramen noodles directly in that spicy, meaty base and finishing with scallions and extra Spam strips for a rich, five-minute comfort bowl.

2. What ingredients do I need for one serving?

You need one pack of instant ramen, about half a can of Spam (around 100 grams), one green onion, a small spoonful of Korean chili powder, and water. The recipe also uses slightly more water than the ramen package suggests to balance the salty Spam and seasoning packet.

3. How spicy is this ramen, and can I adjust the heat level?

By default, it lands around medium to hot, especially if you use a spicy ramen like Shin Ramyun and the full amount of chili flakes. To make it milder, reduce the gochugaru or use a less spicy ramen. For extra heat, add more chili flakes or a sliced fresh chili at the end.

4. Why do you crush some Spam and slice the rest into strips?

Crushing part of the Spam lets it brown and melt into the oil, flavoring the broth with salty, meaty depth. The sliced strips added at the end stay visible and chewy, giving you both a rich base and satisfying bites of Spam on top in every spoonful.

5. How do I make Spicy Spam Bomb Ramen step by step?

First, crush part of the Spam in a bag and slice the rest into strips. Chop the scallion. Sauté the crushed Spam with Korean chili flakes in a pot until lightly browned. Add water, bring to a boil, then add the noodles and seasoning packet. Just before the noodles are done, add the scallions and Spam strips, then serve immediately.

6. Can I use a different ramen or protein instead of Spam?

Yes. You can use almost any instant ramen brand, though spicy beef or chicken styles work best. If you do not want Spam, you can swap in sliced sausage, hot dog, ham, or even tofu cubes. The main idea is a salty protein that can crisp slightly and flavor the broth.

7. Are there any easy add-ons to make this bowl more filling?

You can add an egg (poached directly in the broth or soft-boiled on top), a slice of cheese, extra vegetables like kimchi, mushrooms, or bok choy, or a scoop of rice at the end to soak up the leftover broth. These add-ons turn the quick snack into a full meal.
