Yield Makes 1 perfect bowl

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups water
1 pack Shin Ramyun or whatever pack of instant ramen you have
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon butter
2 slices American cheese
1/4 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds
Garnish (Optional)
1/2 scallion, green part only, thinly sliced on a bias

Steps:

  • Bring the water to a boil in a small pot. Open the ramen package and add the noodles to the water. Cook the noodles for 2 minutes, then add the flavor pack.
  • About 30 seconds before the noodles are done, turn off the heat and crack in the egg-but don't mix it in. Just pull the hot noodles gently over the raw egg and let it sit for a minute to poach.
  • Now get a bowl and gently pour everything slowly into it, being careful to not disrupt the egg.
  • Add the butter, cheese, and sesame seeds to the bowl. Mix it all around. Garnish with the scallion if you have it.
  • Eggy, cheesy goodness. Grilled cheese what?
