  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 Pack Instant Ramen Noodles
  • 2 Cup Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 cup Milk or Heavy Cream
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Optional Additions

  • ½ cup Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 Soft-boiled Egg
  • Chopped Green Onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Finely mince the garlic, slice the mushrooms, and chop the green onions. Having everything ready ensures a smooth cooking process as ramen cooks quickly once heated.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter along with the sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, sautéing until fragrant and soft, about 1 minute. This step brings out the aromatic base for the broth.
  3. Add Broth and Soy Sauce: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and the soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, avoiding a full boil to maintain mellow, balanced flavors.
  4. Incorporate Milk or Cream: Slowly stir in the milk or heavy cream, allowing it to blend into the broth until it becomes a soft, golden beige color. Keep the heat low to prevent the dairy from curdling, maintaining a gentle warmth.
  5. Cook Ramen Noodles: Drop the instant ramen noodles into the simmering creamy broth. Let them simmer and soften for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to help the noodles fully absorb the flavorful broth.
  6. Season the Broth: Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or an extra splash of soy sauce as desired to achieve a cozy, savory, and soothing flavor.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the ramen into a bowl and top with a soft-boiled egg and chopped green onions. For an added kick, sprinkle chili flakes if you like. Stir gently before eating to blend the colors and flavors.

Notes

  • To make the soft-boiled egg, cook eggs in boiling water for 6-7 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath before peeling.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Add chili flakes or sriracha for a spicy twist.
  • Using vegetable broth makes this recipe vegetarian-friendly.
  • Adjust the salt and soy sauce based on broth sodium content and personal taste.
