Yesterday this recipe was in the Kansas City Star – it looked delicious! We had it for lunch yesterday and it was so good! Enjoy!
Perfect Instant Ramen Noodles
This recipe was in the Kansas City Star yesterday, it was adapted by Amy Betrand from a New York Times recipe by Roy Choi. Makes a very quick meal.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup broccoli florets
- 1 pack ramen noodles with flavor packet (save on sodium by using 1/2 packet)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 2 slices American cheese, cut into strips
- 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 scallion, green part only, thinly sliced on the bias
Instructions
- Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the broccoli and cook for 2 minutes. Add the noodles and cook for 2 minutes. Add the flavor packet and continue to cook 30 more seconds.
- With the broth at a low simmer, carefully add the egg. Do not stir; pull the noodles over the egg and let sit for 3 minutes to poach.
- Transfer everything to a serving bowl, add the butter, cheese and sesame seeds and mix everything together. Garnish with the scallions.
Notes
I doubled the recipe yesterday, using a medium saucepan, and I added about 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper. Could add chicken for a more hearty dish.
