Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack Instant ramen noodles
- 1 large Egg
- 1 piece Hot dog
- 0.5 cup Frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 stalk Green onions (optional)
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
While waiting for the water to boil, slice the hot dog into bite-sized coins and finely chop the green onion, if using.
Once the water is boiling, add the instant ramen noodles (discard or set aside the seasoning packet if you prefer to use your own flavors).
Add the frozen mixed vegetables and sliced hot dog to the pot. Let everything cook together for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Crack the egg directly into the pot and stir gently to break it up, creating a silky, egg-drop texture. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the egg is fully cooked.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil for added flavor.
Transfer the ramen to a bowl and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
Enjoy your Cheapo Gourmet a La College while it's hot!
