How to Make Ramen

Upgrade instant noodles or make easy homemade ramen

⚡Quick Answer

Quick upgrade: Half seasoning packet + egg + green onions + sesame oil. Better: Make broth with soy sauce, miso, ginger. Add toppings.

Cook noodles, use only half the seasoning packet. Add: soft-boiled egg, green onions, sesame oil, and sriracha.

💡Cook noodles al dente (1 min less) - they keep cooking in hot broth.

Simmer 4 cups chicken broth with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp miso, grated ginger, and minced garlic for 10 min.

💡Add a splash of sesame oil and rice vinegar for depth.

Soft-boiled egg (6-7 min), sliced pork/chicken, corn, nori, bean sprouts, green onions, mushrooms.

💡Prep toppings while broth simmers. Arrange beautifully on top!

Place cooked noodles in bowl. Ladle hot broth over. Arrange toppings. Serve immediately with chopsticks and spoon.

💡Eat quickly - noodles get soggy. Slurping is encouraged!

Boil water, lower cold egg in gently. 6½-7 min for runny yolk. Immediately ice bath. Peel carefully.

Fresh ramen noodles from Asian grocery are best. Instant noodles work. Spaghetti in a pinch!
