Make Ramen To Get Rich: How to Make Money (and What to Spend It On)

The mukbang livestream is the action that earns you money in Make Ramen To Get Rich: cook a bowl of ramen, then sit down and stream yourself eating it. The game's own tagline lays out the loop — cook your cravings, record yourself eating it, become a rich and famous mukbanger — and the creator describes it plainly as cooking and then eating your ramen for money. Cash reaches you through fan donations, and streams also bring in followers, which you'll need almost as much as money later on.

The earning loop: cook, stream, eat

One complete money-making session looks like this:

1. Cook a bowl. Pour water into the pot, boil the noodles, drain them, then add sauce, toppings and extras — a fried egg is a favorite. The full walkthrough is in our guide to making ramen.
2. Set the bowl up and start the mukbang livestream. You need a finished bowl first, since the stream is you eating it on camera. The stream setup is covered step by step in how to post videos.
3. Eat on camera until the bowl is finished.
4. Check your results. Finished streams add followers — recorded gains were 490 after one stream and 2,000 after another.
5. Repeat. The loop is repeatable — the recorded player bought more noodle packs, cooked a fresh bowl and streamed again within the same session.

One heads-up before you start: the game is still in testing, and the official clips warn players to expect bugs — so don't be surprised if something glitches mid-cook or mid-stream.

Where the cash actually comes from

Money arrives as fan donations tied to your mukbang career — in one recorded session, a fan donated $342 right as a stream got going. Cash isn't the only payout: finished streams also add followers (the gains in the loop above), and those matter for progression just as much as money does, since they help unlock the dishes below — see how to get followers for that side of the loop.

What to spend your money on

• Cooking ingredients. The market sells noodle packs in flavors like cream, tomato, rose and spicy stew, toppings such as crab sticks, shrimp, spam, kimchi and cucumber (topping guide), and drinks to round out a meal.
• Shop items. Cash also covers furniture and gear for your store — players have bought chairs for the shop, and a sauce truck comes up among the purchases too.
• New dishes in the upgrade section. Sushi bento, sushi rolls, sashimi, fruits, pasta, pizza and cakes are all locked, and opening them takes a lot of money and new followers. One player guessed close to a million followers for the full set — that's their estimate, not a number the game displays — but it gives you the scale: dish unlocks are the long-term sink for both your cash and your follower count.

The big picture

Money and followers feed the same loop: your streams bring the donations and follower gains, your money restocks the pantry with noodle packs and toppings, and together they unlock the bigger menu in the upgrade section.
