FAQs and Tips
Can I make this recipe vegetarian? Yes. Simply use vegetable broth and ensure all ingredients used are suitable for your dietary preferences.
Why does halloumi work so well in ramyun? Halloumi develops a crispy golden crust when pan-fried while maintaining its chewy texture. Its salty flavour pairs beautifully with the rich, spicy broth and springy noodles.

What other toppings go well with Shin Ramyun? Some delicious options include soft-boiled eggs, mushrooms, pak choi or kimchi
Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time? The eggs can be prepared in advance, but the halloumi noodles are best cooked and served fresh for the best texture.
