original recipe

1

Remove all components from the cup.
Carefully open the cup and take out the individual packets.

2

Place all ingredients into the cup. Unwrap the rice cakes and noodles, placing the rice cakes in the cup first and the noodles to follow. Add the seasoning packet on top of the noodles.

3

Pour 135 ml of hot water up to the line inside.
Use boiling water for the ideal texture and taste. Make sure the rice cakes are fully submerged for even cooking.

4

Place the lid loosely on the cup at a slight angle before microwaving. This helps steam escape safely while keeping the heat in for proper cooking.

5

Microwave until hot and steaming.
1000 W: 2 min 30 s
700 W: 3 min
NOTE: If you are using cold water, heat for an additional 30 s.

6

Stir and enjoy!
Thoroughly mix the rice cakes, noodles, and sauce together. Let it cool slightly (or rest for a saucier consistency) and add any desired toppings (kimchi, green onions, or sesame seeds). Dish up and enjoy!

‘cheese pull’ hack


Bowl of ramen noodles topped with three slices of cheddar cheese.

Get that Instagram-worthy cheesy rapokki!
Once your rapokki is fully cooked and stirred, place slices of mozzarella or processed cheese directly on top. Cover the bowl loosely with the lid and let it sit for about 1 min so the cheese melts perfectly and stretches.

Stir & Stretch!
Gently stir the melted cheese into the noodles and rice cakes until it becomes creamy and stretchy. Lift your chopsticks slowly to enjoy that satisfying cheese pull — rich, gooey, and irresistibly delicious!

pizza rapokki


Have some leftover pizza? Get the best of both worlds!
Cut up the leftover pizza into bite-size pieces (defrost in microwave if frozen). In a pot, boil the ramen noodles and rice cakes on high heat until the noodles are tender.

A metal skillet filled with tater tots, cheese pizza slices, and a slice of pepperoni pizza.

Drain excess water, and add the seasoning for a saucy consistency. Add the pizza to the pot and cook on low, gently stirring to ensure the pieces are covered in the sauce.

Sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese, and any desired toppings such as green onion or chili flakes if desired. Enjoy straight from the pot or dish up to serve!
