Ingredients
  

  • 2 Ramen noodle packets - Use half the seasoning packet
  • 2 Eggs - Optional; soft-boiled or cracked into broth
  • 2 Garlic cloves - Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger - Optional, minced or grated
  • 2 Green onions - Chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce - More to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil - Optional, adds flavor depth
  • 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar - Optional, brightens flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha - Optional, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar - Optional, balances flavors
  • 1 tablespoon Butter - Optional, for richness
  • ½ cup Frozen vegetables - Corn, peas, spinach, etc.

Equipment

  • 1 Medium saucepan/pot (For boiling noodles and broth)
  • 1 Stirring utensil (Spoon or chopsticks)
  • 1 Sharp knife (For chopping veggies)
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 2 Bowls (For serving)

Method
 

  1. Chop garlic, green onions, and any veggies you're using. Crack eggs if adding directly into broth.
  2. Boil water as directed on ramen package. Add only half the seasoning packet, then stir in garlic and ginger. Let simmer for 1 minute.
  3. Add ramen noodles and cook for about 2 minutes (less than package suggests). They will continue to soften in the broth.
  4. Add cracked egg (optional), frozen veggies, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar. Stir gently. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Pour into bowls while hot. Top with green onions and hot sauce. Serve immediately.
