Momofuku noodles are delicious on their own. We made these noodles fancy and took them to the next level with some simple additions. They are now our favorite weeknight dinner of all time!
Momofuku noodles were created by A-sha and Momofuku , a restaurant group and marketplace. They are freaking amazing and Team Fit Foodie (and the rest of the world) are obsessed with their dried noodles.
Not only do we love the noodle packs on their own, but our favorite thing to do is take the noodles and make a big ole’ ramen noodle bowl out of them. This fancy Momofuku recipe is made with a delicious scallion salad and a few other simple ingredients.
What is in this Momofuku Noodles recipe?
- Soy and Scallion Noodles: Momofuku has three flavors of dried noodles, and the soy scallion is our favorite. The other two flavors are delicious and spicy (especially for a Minnesotan).
- Chili crunch: this chili crunch is having a moment and there are so many other brands that have recreated it. You can find it on Amazon, Target, and other brands at places like Trader Joe’s. It’s crunchy and adds the perfect amount of kick to these noodles.
- Scallion salad: it can be tempting to skip this salad because scallions are tedious to chop. Our advice is to not skip the scallion salad. It is the perfect addition to these bowls!

Other Ingredients

Instructions
- Prepare the green onions. Slice the green onions into 3-inch lengthwise pieces, the white and the green parts. Then, slice the 3-inch pieces into thin strips. Repeat until all of the green onions have been sliced. Transfer the green onions to a bowl.
- Add the cilantro to the bowl. Then, crush the nori with your hands and add that to the bowl and toss.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt together. Pour the dressing over the herbs and toss until everything is coated. Place the salad in the fridge.
- Prepare the soft-boiled eggs. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and carefully add the eggs to the water. Let the eggs boil for 7 minutes and then transfer them to an ice bath
- Peel the eggs and set aside.
- Prepare the mushrooms. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms to the oil and toss. Season with salt and sauté the mushroom for 8-10 minutes only tossing every few minutes.
- When the mushrooms have released their liquid and become shiny, not browed, remove them from the heat and toss them with soy sauce. Set aside.
- Cook the noodles. Bring about 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the Momofuku noodles to the boiling water and stir to separate. Cook the noodles for 3-4 minutes or until al dente.
- Strain the noodles and transfer them back to the saucepan. Add the dried scallion and sauce packets to the noodles and stir until the noodles are coated in the sauce.

Tips & Notes
- You can use 2 tablespoons of furikake as a substitute for 1 sheet of crumbled nori.
- Option to use a different flavor of Momofuku noodles. The spicy soy and tingly chili are substantially spicier than the soy scallion. From a group of people with Minnesotan spice tolerances.
- You can add other ingredients to these fancy Momofuku bowls. Broiled bok choy, fried eggs, sriracha, sesame cashews, etc. Make them your own.
- White wine vinegar or red wine vinegar can be substituted for rice vinegar if needed.
