Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 serving soup instant ramen (I recommend a spicy kind like Jin Ramen or Shin Ramen)
  • ½ packet instant ramen soup seasoning that comes with the instant ramen
  • 1 packet dried vegetable flakes that comes with the instant ramen (optional)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 slices American cheese or regular cheddar/Swiss/mozzarella cheese sliced into half
  • 9.3 fl oz. water cold
  • 1 tablespoon green onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • In a large shallow pan, add cold water, instant ramen soup seasoning with dried vegetable flakes if available, and garlic. Bring to a rolling simmer over low-medium heat. Do not turn heat past this or it’ll evaporate the water quickly.
  • Once the water comes to a rolling simmer, add instant ramen. Cook instant ramen on each side for about 20-30 seconds.
  • Loosen instant noodles and create a hole in the center.
  • As soon as noodles are loosened, make a well in the center and crack an egg into it. Once the egg whites are opaque, add sliced cheese on top of the noodles and green onions.
  • Cook noodles for another 1 minute until cheese has melted and mix to enjoy!
