  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 Pack Instant Ramen Noodles
  • 2 Cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 cup Milk or Heavy Cream
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • ½ cup Sliced Mushrooms (Optional)

Garnishes (Optional)

  • 1 Soft-boiled Egg
  • Chopped Green Onions
  • Chili Flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Finely mince the garlic, slice the mushrooms, and chop the green onions. Having these ready upfront is essential as the cooking process moves quickly.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Melt the butter and sesame oil together, then add the garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until the mushrooms soften and begin to brown, then cook the garlic for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add Broth and Soy Sauce: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer—avoid boiling to maintain a balanced flavor.
  4. Incorporate Cream: Slowly stir in the milk or heavy cream, blending it into the broth until it turns a soft, golden beige color. Reduce the heat to keep the broth warm without curdling it.
  5. Cook Noodles: Add the instant ramen noodles directly into the creamy broth. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally so they absorb the flavorful broth. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or extra soy sauce as needed.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the ramen into a bowl and top with a soft-boiled egg, chopped green onions, and chili flakes if desired. Stir gently before eating to blend all the colors and flavors.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and omit the soft-boiled egg or substitute with tofu.
  • To make it vegan, replace butter with plant-based margarine and use a non-dairy cream alternative.
  • Soft-boiling the egg to runny yolk consistency usually takes about 6-7 minutes.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or bok choy for extra nutrition.
  • If preparing ahead, cook noodles separately and combine just before serving to prevent them from becoming mushy.
