Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pack instant ramen (buldak or spicy ramen)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 slice cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce (optional for extra heat)
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Boil the instant ramen noodles according to the package instructions, making sure to save some of the cooking water before draining.
- Prepare Sauce: In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the cooked noodles.
- Add Seasoning and Liquids: Stir in the ramen seasoning packet, milk, and a few tablespoons of the reserved noodle water to create a creamy sauce.
- Add Cheese: Place the slice of cheese into the pan and mix well until it melts and blends smoothly into the sauce.
- Cook Egg: Crack the egg into the pan with the noodles. Mix gently to incorporate or leave it slightly runny according to preference. Cook briefly until the egg reaches your desired consistency.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped green onions on top, and serve hot immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of milk or cream based on how creamy you want the sauce to be.
- For less spice, use less ramen seasoning or omit the chili sauce.
- If using cheese, choose a mild melting cheese like cheddar or mozzarella for best texture.
- Make sure not to overcook the egg if you prefer it soft and runny for added texture contrast.
