An answer to the eternal question, what do you do with the broth from your cup noodles?

There are two kinds of magic in this world. The first is, of course, super glue. The second is instant ramen. Instant ramen is amazing, and it can be anything. It can be hot for when you need that spicy tingle in your mouth. It can be mild, for our friends who just are not spice fans. And, it will always have that delicious broth at the bottom of each bowl. This is a recipe for that broth.

Instant ramen, while delicious, can sometimes lack a certain substantialness. On those days when you want a little more protein with your ramen, or just something just a little more substantial, make a ramen egg souffle. It sounds fancy, I know, but it is super easy to make, I promise. 

What you will need (All materials can be found in Hmart should you need anything):

One cup noodle of any brand (I, personally, used Jin ramen. But I also highly recommend Shin ramen as well if you like it with an extra kick.) 

Two eggs (Small packs of six eggs can be found in Hmart if you don’t want to buy a whole carton.)

A tea kettle (Or any hot water that you can find.) This will be used to make your cup noodles. 

Chopsticks/a fork (I had these on hand, but you can easily find these at Hmart, either wooden or metal.)

A microwave safe bowl (This is key. In one version of this recipe that I tried, I simply poured the eggs into the noodle cup and placed the cup in the microwave. I ended up setting the cup on fire. To avoid this, use the microwave safe bowl. TRUST ME ON THIS.)

Instructions:

  1. Follow the directions on the package for making the cup noodles. Enjoy!
  2. After finishing all the noodles, pour the broth into the microwave safe bowl. After that, crack the eggs into the bowl too.
  3. Scramble the eggs using your fork or chopsticks.
  4. Place the bowl in the microwave. 
  5. Microwave the eggs at thirty second increments. Every now and again, take out the bowl and mix. Once the eggs are fully cooked and have a fluffy texture, they are done. 
  6. Enjoy!
