Essential Ingredients
- 1 packet of instant ramen (choose your favorite brand)
- 1/2 stalk of green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 egg
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather your ingredients: one packet of instant ramen, half a stalk of green onion (thinly sliced), one egg, and 550ml of water. This ratio is the foundation for a delicious bowl of ramen.
Step 2
Pour 550ml of water into a pot and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. While the water is heating up, thinly slice the green onion.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, crack one egg and whisk it well until the yolk and white are fully combined. Whisking until slightly frothy can be beneficial.
Step 4
Once the water is boiling vigorously, add the ramen noodles and the soup base packet. Stir with chopsticks to dissolve the seasoning and let it bubble.
Step 5
Add half of the sliced green onions to the boiling ramen broth. This will infuse the broth with a refreshing onion aroma.
Step 6
Let the noodles cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring they remain slightly firm or ‘al dente’. Carefully lift out the noodles and place them in a serving bowl. Do not overcook them at this stage.
Step 7
With the noodles removed, slowly pour the beaten egg into the remaining broth in a circular motion, following the edge of the pot. This technique helps the egg cook into delicate ribbons rather than clumping.
Step 8
The egg will begin to cook and set almost immediately, forming soft curds. Once the egg is mostly set, gently draw a single cross (+) shape through it with your chopsticks. Avoid stirring too vigorously to keep the egg pieces intact.
Step 9
The egg cooks very quickly, so turn off the heat as soon as it looks set and fluffy. Carefully pour the hot broth and egg mixture over the noodles that you set aside in the bowl.
Step 10
Finally, garnish your ramen with the remaining sliced green onions. Your delicious, authentic-tasting Korean snack bar/PC bang style ramen is now complete! Enjoy your meal.
