Main Ingredients
- Leftover broth from 1 cup of instant noodles
- 2 fresh eggs
- A little chopped green onion or scallion (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
After enjoying your cup noodles, you’ll likely have a little broth left. Prepare a moderate amount of this leftover broth. (Example: For a small Shin Ramyun cup, about 2-3 tablespoons is good).
Step 2
Gather 2 fresh eggs. You can adjust the number of eggs based on the amount of leftover broth you have. If you have more broth, feel free to add an extra egg.
Step 3
Crack the 2 eggs into the prepared cup noodle broth. Gently whisk them together using chopsticks or a fork until well combined, being careful not to create too much foam. A gentle, slow mix is key.
Step 4
As an optional step, add a small amount of finely chopped green onion or scallion. This will enhance the flavor of the steamed egg and add a beautiful splash of color. The aromatic onion pairs wonderfully with the egg.
Step 5
Pour the well-mixed liquid into a microwave-safe container. You can reuse the original cup noodle container, or transfer it to a more presentable dish before microwaving. Make sure not to fill the container more than two-thirds full to prevent overflow.
Step 6
Microwave on high for approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds. You might need to slightly adjust the cooking time depending on your microwave’s wattage. It’s a good idea to check the doneness every minute.
Step 7
Once removed from the microwave, your delicious steamed egg is ready! The savory flavor of the cup noodle broth will have permeated the egg, resulting in a soft and moist dish. Be cautious as it will be hot.
