Ingredients
  

  • 1 package instant ramen noodles
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, packed
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Chili crisp or sriracha, to taste (optional)

Method
 

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the ramen noodles and cook for 2 minutes, stirring once to separate them. Stir in the seasoning packet, soy sauce, and sesame oil until the broth turns a deep amber color.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low so the broth simmers gently. Crack the egg into the broth, cover, and cook for 2 minutes until the white is set but the yolk is still runny.
  3. Remove from heat, add the spinach, and stir until wilted, about 30 seconds. Ladle into a bowl, spoon the egg on top, and scatter green onions and chili crisp over the dish. Serve right away.

Notes

Eat this right away, as the noodles will soak up broth and soften the longer they sit. If you want a runny yolk, don’t cook the egg past 2 minutes; the yolk will set a bit more from residual heat.
