Up Your Ramen Game

Do you live off of instant noodles? Have you gotten bored of the same soggy noodle soup? If so, then this 7 minute recipe will for sure stir up your every day menu.

(Picture is for two servings)

• Instant ramen (I used Shin-Ramen here);
• One egg;
• A quarter of an onion;
• Mirin;
• Black Pepper.
• Salt;
• Vegetable Oil;

First, add 1 centimeter deep of water in a sauce pan and start heating it to a boil. Meanwhile:

• Dice the onion;
• In another sauce pan, heat 3 teaspoons of oil at high heat;
• add onion for a quick sautee, deglaze with mirin to complement the sweet flavor;
• Once the onion lightly browns, remove from heat.

The water should be boiling at this point. While maintaining high heat:

• Add in noodles, once one side softens, flip to the other side;
• Stir and cook until noodle softens completely;
• Add in the spice pack. Generally you'll only want to add half the normal amount here.
• Stir frequently until most of the water evaporates (~2 minutes);
• Add in onion and black pepper.

Once you have added the onion, bring the noodle pan to low heat. At the same time:

• Place the onion pan back to high heat;
• crack in one egg when the oil is ready, let it brown nicely;
• Add one third cup of water, Cover with lid for 30 seconds;
• Open the lid to let water evaporate completely. Remove from pan once its ready.

Plate the noodle and place the egg on top. Enjoy!
