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!

Substitutions & Variations

We developed this recipe with our favorite things to make it an easy and balanced dinner. The noodles, scallion salad, mushrooms, and soft-boiled egg. However, feel free to make it your own.

If you are looking for a spicier noodle, give the spicy soy or the tingly chili noodles a try!

Add animal protein to this ramen bowl for a little extra protein boost. Try these garlic honey chicken thighs, steak, or pork shoulder.

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.
