Perfect Instant Ramen

7 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 pack Shin Ramyun or whatever pack of instant ramen you have
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 scallion, green part only, thinly sliced on a bias

Directions

  1. 1
    Bring the water to a boil in a small pot. Open the ramen package and add the noodles to the water. Cook the noodles for 2 minutes, then add the flavor pack.
  2. 2
    About 30 seconds before the noodles are done, turn off the heat and crack in the egg-but don't mix it in. Just pull the hot noodles gently over the raw egg and let it sit for a minute to poach.
  3. 3
    Now get a bowl and gently pour everything slowly into it, being careful to not disrupt the egg.
  4. 4
    Add the butter, cheese, and sesame seeds to the bowl. Mix it all around. Garnish with the scallion if you have it.
  5. 5
    Eggy, cheesy goodness.
  6. 6
    Grilled cheese what?
