A ramen timer is a countdown timer with preset cooking times for each type of instant noodle. You pick a type without typing a time, and the timer tells you when the noodles are done.
Ramyeon is the Korean word for instant noodles. Bag ramyeon is boiled in a pot, and cup ramyeon cooks in its container after you pour in hot water. The cooking time and the water amount printed on the package differ from product to product.
Bag ramyeon with soup most often takes 4 minutes to 4 minutes 30 seconds in 500–550 ml of boiling water. Thick noodles and stir-fry noodles take about 5 minutes. Cup ramyeon takes 3 minutes, and large cup stir-fry noodles take 4 minutes. These values were read from the packages of widely sold products in October 2026. Products differ, so read your package first.
The usual advice is to take 30 seconds to 1 minute off the package time for firm (kkodeul) noodles, and to add the same for soft noodles. This timer uses the smaller value, 30 seconds. Press −30 sec or +30 sec to change it more. Noodles keep cooking in the hot broth after you turn off the heat.

Yes. −30 sec and +30 sec change the time left and the total time together, and the end sound moves to the new time. The total time stays between 30 seconds and 15 minutes. You cannot take off 30 seconds when 30 seconds or less are left. You can change the type and the firmness after you press Reset.
In browsers that support Screen Wake Lock, the timer asks the device to keep the screen on while it runs, and withdraws the request when you pause or when the time is up. Some browsers and battery saver modes refuse the request. Then the screen turns off as your device settings say.
Check the sound switch, the device volume and whether the browser tab is muted. Browsers only allow sound after you press something on the page, so the timer prepares the sound when you press Start. An iPhone in silent mode does not play it.
The last type, the firmness and the sound switch are saved in this browser's local storage. Nothing is sent to a server. A running timer is not saved: it stops if you close or reload the tab.
