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