Ingredients
Scale
- 1 three ounce package ramen (any flavor), with the flavor packet
- 2 slices American cheese, torn into quarters
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 egg
- 1 scallion, chopped
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Cook ramen according to package directions, including adding the flavor packet.
- Turn the heat to medium, add cheese and butter and stir until cheese has melted.
- Crack egg into a small bowl. Turn the heat off completely, pull the noodles to the side, gently pour in the egg, and then ever-so-gently drape the noodles over the egg. Cover and let it sit for 4 minutes.
- Pour the whole thing into a large soup bowl. Sprinkle with scallions and fresh pepper, gently break the egg yolk so it melts into the broth, and eat it up. Feel much better.
Notes
-
- Ramen: You can find these packaged wavy Japanese noodles in the soup aisle of your grocery store. They come with a little flavor packet inside…I usually use the chicken flavored ramen for this recipe, but you can pick whatever flavor you like best.
-
- Scallion: Totally optional. I love the sassy hit of flavor it adds, but if you are making this for someone who is under the weather, leaving the scallion out will give it a gentler taste.
