Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack instant ramen noodles
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach or bok choy
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the instant ramen noodles (without the seasoning packet) to the broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes, until noodles are tender.
While the noodles cook, crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk it well to combine the yolk and white.
Reduce the heat of the broth to low to ensure a gentle simmer. Slowly drizzle the whisked egg into the pot in a thin stream while stirring the broth with a fork or chopsticks. This will create silky egg ribbons.
Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil for flavor, then add the spinach or bok choy and let it wilt for about 30 seconds.
Season with ground black pepper and red pepper flakes if desired, and adjust salt to taste (optional).
Ladle the egg drop ramen into a large bowl and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting bowl of Egg Drop Ramen!
