If you need a recipe for a rainy day, we’ve got four. These comfort dishes, loved by k-pop idols like BTS’s Jin, BLACKPINK’s Jennie, Hwasa, and EXO’s Chanyeol, are all easy to make, if you’re not much of a cook. Want to try what your favourite celebrity eats when they’re after a little comfort? Here are the recipes.

BTS’s Jin and his go-to Spicy Noodle Soup

Try Janchi Guksu when you want something spicy and simple.

You’ll be working with thin noodles, a few vegetables like onion, zucchini, and carrot, plus some anchovies and kelp for the broth. Nothing complicated, just ingredients that come together gently.

How to cook BTS Jin’s Janchi Guksu:

Start by softening the chopped vegetables in a bit of oil until they turn fragrant. At the same time, let anchovies and kelp simmer in water to build a clean broth, then remove them once the flavour settles in. Add a splash of soy sauce and a pinch of salt.

Cook the noodles separately so they stay just right, then bring everything together in a bowl and finish with a bit of kimchi on top.

EXO’s Chanyeol and Spicy Tteokbokki

For days when you want something warmer and a bit more intense.

Rice cakes are the base here, along with gochujang (red chili paste), garlic, soy sauce, and a bit of sugar to round it out. You can add fish cakes or eggs if you want something more filling.

How to cook EXO Chanyeol’s tteokbokki:

Let the rice cakes simmer in water, then stir in the sauce ingredients and watch it slowly thicken and cling. The garlic brings depth, while the spice builds as it cooks. Finish with green onions and anything extra you’ve added.

Mamamoo Hwasa’s and Signature Truffle Ramen

It’s fast, comforting, and just different enough to feel like a treat.

You’re starting with instant ramen, but the addition of truffle oil changes the whole vibe. That’s really the only upgrade you need, though an egg or some spring onions can take it further.

How to cook Mamamoo Hwasa’s truffle ramen:

Cook the noodles as you normally would, then mix in the seasoning while everything is still hot. Add a drizzle of truffle oil and give it a good stir so it coats the noodles evenly. That’s it.

BLACKPINK Jennie and her Kimchi Fried Rice

If you want something with a bit more character, this one delivers without taking much time.

All you really need here is chopped kimchi, cold rice, a little oil, and a few pantry staples like soy sauce and gochujang.

How to cook BLACKPINK Jennie’ and her’s kimchi fried rice:

Start by letting the kimchi cook in a hot pan until it softens and releases its flavour. Add the rice and break it up as you mix everything together. Once it’s evenly coated, stir in soy sauce and gochujang, with a small touch of sugar if you like a bit of balance. Top it with a fried egg, and it’s ready.
