A quick and comforting ramen recipe using store-brand instant noodles, enriched with egg and fresh vegetables for a flavorful, satisfying meal ready in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 packet store-brand instant ramen noodles (preferably non-fried)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ cup shredded carrots (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup baby spinach leaves (fresh or frozen)
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions
  • 2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp garlic powder or 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • ½ tsp ginger powder (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil or neutral oil

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups (480 ml) of water or vegetable broth to a gentle boil. Add 1 tsp soy sauce, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp ginger powder, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Stir well to combine and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add shredded carrots and sliced green onions to the broth. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still vibrant. Add baby spinach leaves and cook for another minute until just wilted.
  3. Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth and vegetables. Break them up gently if needed. Cook for 3 minutes or until noodles are tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
  4. While noodles cook, lightly beat the egg in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle the egg into the simmering broth in a thin stream, stirring gently with a fork or chopsticks to create silky ribbons. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat and stir in 1 tsp sesame oil for flavor and aroma.
  6. Carefully pour the ramen, broth, vegetables, and egg into a serving bowl. Optionally garnish with extra green onions or toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Avoid boiling the broth hard once the egg is added to prevent rubbery texture. Stir the egg gently and add slowly to create silky ribbons. For gluten-free, use rice noodles or gluten-free ramen. Add mushrooms or bell peppers for extra texture. Store noodles and broth separately if saving leftovers to prevent sogginess.
