Not as good as authentic, freshly made ramen, but an easy recipe that elevates instant ramen soup into a hearty, filling, and delicious meal. Only takes about 5 minutes to make!

Ingredients

1 pack Maruchan Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup

1 egg

Β½ Tbsp butter

1 slices American cheese

Β½ scallion, thinly sliced

Β½ Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Togarashi chili pepper

Instructions

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the noodles and cook for 3 minutes.

While ramen is cooking, slice scallions and assemble ingredients. Add butter to serving bowl.

Add the flavor packet, stir, and turn off heat (but don’t remove from burner).

Carefully add the egg into the broth without stirring. Pull the noodles over the egg and let sit for 30 seconds to poach.

Transfer ramen to serving bowl with butter. Sprinkle half the scallions, half the sesame seeds, and some Togarashi pepper onto the ramen, then place cheese on top. Garnish with remaining sesame seeds and scallions, and more Togarashi pepper as desired.
