Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Maruchan ramen
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup packed baby spinach
  • 1 scallion
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Sesame seeds or chili flakes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower in the egg and boil 6 minutes, then transfer to ice water. Set aside.
  2. In a separate pot, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add the ramen seasoning packet, soy sauce, and sesame oil, then stir in the spinach. Simmer 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  3. Add the noodle block and cook 3 minutes, stirring gently to separate the noodles.
  4. Ladle the broth and noodles into a bowl. Peel and halve the egg, place it on top, and scatter with scallion, sesame seeds, and chili flakes if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a poached egg, crack it straight into the simmering broth during the last minute of cooking. The noodles will keep softening in the hot broth, so take them off the heat as soon as they are tender.
