Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package of instant ramen
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
- 3 cups water for boiling noodles
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the Noodles: In a small pot, heat three cups of water over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the instant ramen noodles and boil for 1 1/2 minutes until partially cooked. Drain the noodles completely and set aside.
- Prepare the Broth: Add the cup of milk to the same pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add the seasoning sauce packet from the ramen package and stir until fully combined to create a creamy broth.
- Add the Noodles and Egg: Return the drained noodles to the pot with the milk broth and reduce the heat to medium-high. Make a small well in the noodles and carefully crack the egg into the well. Sprinkle the chopped green onions evenly over the noodles and egg. Let this cook gently for about 2 minutes, allowing the egg to poach in the milky broth.
- Serve the Ramen: After the egg has cooked, turn off the heat. Use a spoon to scoop up the poached egg and place it on top of the noodles. Pour the noodles and milk broth into a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and drizzle with the optional chili oil for extra heat and flavor.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve the ramen hot to enjoy the creamy broth and the perfectly poached egg for a comforting and flavorful meal.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a richer and creamier broth.
- If you prefer a firmer egg, adjust the poaching time accordingly.
- Chili oil is optional; add according to your spice preference.
- Drain the noodles briefly to avoid diluting the milk broth too much.
- You can add sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.
