Delicious Scallion and Egg Ramen Recipe for a Unique Craving
Perfect for when you’re craving ramen with a twist! This recipe offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors that will elevate your instant noodle experience.
Main Ingredients- 1 packet of instant ramen
- 1/2 white part of a large green onion
- 2 fresh eggs
Flavor Enhancers- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp anchovy sauce (or fish sauce)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp anchovy sauce (or fish sauce)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the white part of the green onion and pat it dry. Slice it thinly into long julienne strips. These crispy scallions will add a wonderful texture and fresh flavor to your ramen.
Step 2
Crack 2 fresh eggs into a bowl. Remove the chalazae (the white stringy bits) and whisk them gently until just combined. You want a smooth, lightly beaten egg mixture.
Step 3
In a pot, add a little more water than you would typically use for one packet of ramen (about 1.5 times the usual amount). Bring to a boil, then add the ramen seasoning packet and the noodles. Cook the noodles until they are ‘al dente’ or slightly firm to the bite – this is key to the recipe’s texture.
Step 4
Just as the noodles reach the desired ‘al dente’ stage, get ready to add the beaten eggs and sliced scallions. Don’t overcook the noodles at this point.
Step 5
While the noodles are still cooking and slightly firm, whisk the cornstarch with a tablespoon or two of the hot broth in a small bowl until smooth. Then, pour this slurry back into the pot. Next, slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering broth in a circular motion, allowing them to form delicate ribbons.
Step 6
After adding the egg, use chopsticks to gently swirl the broth in a ‘cross’ or ‘plus’ shape just once or twice. This helps create beautiful egg ribbons without breaking them up too much. Avoid over-stirring.
Step 7
Arrange the thinly sliced green onions attractively over the noodles and broth. The fresh, crisp scallions will provide a delightful contrast and visual appeal.
Step 8
Finally, carefully ladle the rich, flavorful broth, which now contains the delicate egg ribbons, over the noodles and scallions. Your delicious and unique Scallion and Egg Ramen is ready to be enjoyed immediately!
