2 packs instant ramen noodles
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup milk or heavy cream (use plant-based milk for vegan)
1 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
1 soft-boiled egg (optional)
Chopped green onions (optional)
Step 1: Prep Aromatics
Mince garlic, slice mushrooms, and chop green onions. Keep ready—ramen cooks fast!
Step 2: Build Flavor Base
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with sesame oil.
Add garlic and mushrooms; sauté 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add Broth
Pour in chicken or vegetable broth and soy sauce.
Simmer gently—avoid boiling to keep flavors balanced.
Step 4: Add Cream
Slowly stir in milk or cream until the broth turns a soft, golden beige.
Keep heat low to prevent curdling.
Step 5: Cook Noodles
Add ramen noodles directly to the creamy broth.
Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally so noodles absorb the flavor.
Step 6: Season
Add salt, pepper, or more soy sauce as needed. Taste and adjust to your liking.
Step 7: Serve and Top
Ladle into a bowl. Top with soft-boiled egg, green onions, and chili flakes.
Swirl gently before eating for a beautiful presentation.
Creamy broth: Add milk or cream slowly to prevent curdling.
Noodles: Cook them directly in the broth for maximum flavor absorption.
Mushrooms: Sauté them well to bring out their earthy umami.
Customize: Top with soft-boiled eggs, chili flakes, or sesame seeds for extra richness and texture.
