Ingredients
- 1 pack instant ramen noodles
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach or bok choy
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the instant ramen noodles (without the seasoning packet) to the broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes, until noodles are tender.
Step 3
While the noodles cook, crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk it well to combine the yolk and white.
Step 4
Reduce the heat of the broth to low to ensure a gentle simmer. Slowly drizzle the whisked egg into the pot in a thin stream while stirring the broth with a fork or chopsticks. This will create silky egg ribbons.
Step 5
Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil for flavor, then add the spinach or bok choy and let it wilt for about 30 seconds.
Step 6
Season with ground black pepper and red pepper flakes if desired, and adjust salt to taste (optional).
Step 7
Ladle the egg drop ramen into a large bowl and garnish with sliced green onions.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting bowl of Egg Drop Ramen!
