Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack Ramen noodles
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Instant dashi powder
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 1 stalk Scallion
- 1 Egg
- 1 handful Spinach leaves (optional)
- 3 cups Water
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove. Thinly slice the scallion for garnish and set aside.
In a medium-sized pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add 3 cups of water to the pot and bring it to a boil.
Stir in the dashi powder and soy sauce until dissolved.
Add the ramen noodles to the boiling broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes.
If using spinach, add the leaves during the last minute of cooking to wilt them.
Crack the egg into the soup and let it poach gently in the broth for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk is runny (or cook to your preferred doneness).
Carefully transfer the soup into a bowl. Top with the sliced scallion for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, comforting noodle soup!
