🙋 Recommended for

  • Those looking to try something unique and creative instead of regular ramen

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • Spicy ramen 1 pack
  • Ketchup 1 large spoon
  • Anchovy sauce 0.5 large spoon
  • Onion 1/4 piece
  • Egg 1 piece
  • Green chili pepper 1 piece
  • Vinegar 1 large spoon
  • Pepper to taste
  • Water 3 paper cups

Recipe 🍳

  1. Pour 3 paper cups of water into a pot and bring to a boil.
  2. Add all the solid and powder soup packets from the ramen, then stir in 1 large spoon of ketchup.
  3. For deeper flavor and umami richness, add 0.5 large spoon of anchovy sauce.
  4. Once the broth starts bubbling vigorously, add the ramen noodles and 1/4 of a thinly sliced onion.
  5. When the noodles reach your desired texture, remove them and the onion first and set aside in a bowl.
  6. In the remaining broth, gently swirl in 1 egg and add 1 chopped green chili pepper.
  7. Once the egg becomes soft and fluffy, pour the hot broth over the noodles in the bowl.
  8. Finally, sprinkle 1 large spoon of vinegar and pepper to taste for a bright, refreshing finish.
  1. In a pot, combine water, soup packets, 1 large spoon of ketchup, and 0.5 large spoon of anchovy sauce; bring the broth to a boil.
  2. Add noodles and sliced onion, cook until done, then remove noodles first and set aside.
  3. Add egg and green chili pepper to the remaining broth, cook through, then pour over the noodles and add vinegar and pepper.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Even without real tomatoes, ketchup delivers the signature sweet-and-sour umami flavor that blends perfectly into the broth.
  • Add vinegar just before turning off the heat or at the very end to preserve its fresh tanginess and clean aroma.
  • Removing the noodles first before adding the egg prevents the noodles from overcooking and ensures a neater, more attractive egg shape.
