Ingredients
Scale
- 1 packet of instant ramen noodles (flavor of your choice)
- 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth (instead of plain water for more depth of flavor)
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- Fresh vegetables (e.g., thinly sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach)
- 1 soft-boiled egg
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- A sprinkle of sesame seeds
- Chili flakes or sriracha (optional, for a kick of heat)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Add the ramen noodles to the boiling broth, discarding the included seasoning packet (or use it to taste if desired).
- Once the noodles start to soften, stir in the soy sauce and add your choice of fresh vegetables. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the noodles are fully cooked.
- Serve the ramen in a bowl, topping it with a soft-boiled egg sliced in half, green onions, sesame seeds, and optional chili flakes or sriracha for some heat.
Notes
- The addition of fresh broth, vegetables, and seasonings makes instant ramen feel more like a restaurant-quality dish.
- Feel free to customize with other toppings or ingredients like tofu, chicken, or even seafood.
