Make Ramen To Get Rich: How to Play – Your First Bowl, Mukbang, and Next Goal

Make Ramen To Get Rich runs on one repeatable loop: build your convenience store, buy noodle packs from its shelves, cook a bowl, livestream yourself eating it, and go again — with new dishes waiting in the upgrade section once you have built up money and followers. Here is what to do, in order, from the moment you join.

Step 1: Build your convenience store (it's free)

Your first build action is the convenience store, and the first build costs 0 dollars, so place it right away. It matters beyond looks, too: the store's shelves are where you buy the noodle packs you cook later, so the whole loop starts here.

Step 2: Buy a noodle pack from your own shelves

Walk into your finished store and pick a pack from the noodle shelves. The purchase menu shows each pack's flavor and its spice level. Some examples from a first session:

Whichever pack you grab, the cooking routine below is the same — it was demonstrated on two different packs in the same session.

Step 3: Cook the bowl

Standard packs follow the same routine every time:

1. Pour water into the pot and boil it.
2. Add the noodle pack and let the noodles soak until cooked.
3. Drain the water.
4. Tear open the seasoning and add the powder and sauce.
5. Stir.
6. Add toppings — green onions and an egg are the classic finish.

That's a complete bowl. For each step in more detail, see how to make ramen.

Optional: make the bowl worth watching

Your setup includes a small stove for frying toppings. Fry items like crab sticks — flip them constantly so they don't burn — then chop them over the noodles, or soft-boil an egg, peel and slice it, and lay it on top. One player facing a level 4 mala pack cut in a cube of butter and poured in cheese sauce to make the bowl creamier and less spicy. Ingredients players have piled on include eggs, crab sticks, spam, cheese, kimchi and salmon. More ideas live in our ramen toppings guide.

Step 4: Livestream the mukbang

Once the bowl is done, start a livestream, sit down, and eat the whole bowl on camera. That's the mukbang half of the loop — the game's own pitch is "Cook your cravings. Record yourself eating it. Become a rich and famous mukbanger."

The reward shows when you finish eating: the game displays how many new followers the stream earned. As a sense of scale, one player's first simple bowl earned +490 followers, and a later, much more heavily topped bowl brought +2,000.

Step 5: Pick your next goal — the upgrade section

Every mukbang you finish shows how many new followers it earned, and the upgrade section's new dishes — sushi bento, sushi rolls, sashimi, fruits, pasta, pizza, cakes and more — are unlocked with money and followers together. One player put the full menu at roughly a million followers to unlock everything.

So your next goal after the first bowl is simply to run the loop again: buy new packs (yes, even from your own store), cook a bigger bowl with more toppings, and stream it for another wave of followers. Our how to make money page maps out what to aim for after that.
