Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 packs of instant ramen noodles
  • 4 cups of water
  • 1 cup of fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of sesame oil


Instructions

  1. Boil Water: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot over high heat to prepare for cooking the noodles and vegetables.
  2. Cook Noodles: Add the instant ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes until soft but still slightly firm.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the fresh spinach and sliced mushrooms, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender and wilted.
  4. Fry Eggs: While the noodles and vegetables cook, heat a separate pan over medium heat and fry the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  5. Season Broth: Add soy sauce and sesame oil to the pot with noodles and vegetables, stirring thoroughly to enhance the broth’s flavor.
  6. Serve: Ladle the ramen into bowls and top each serving with a fried egg and a sprinkle of chopped green onions for freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • For extra protein, you can add cooked chicken or tofu.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce to control the saltiness of the broth.
  • Use other vegetables such as bok choy or carrots based on preference.
  • To make it spicier, add chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Cook eggs to your preferred doneness—poached or boiled eggs work well too.
