Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Ramen noodle packets – Use half the seasoning packet
  • 2 Eggs – Optional; soft-boiled or cracked into broth
  • 2 Garlic cloves – Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger – Optional, minced or grated
  • 2 Green onions – Chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce – More to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil – Optional, adds flavor depth
  • 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar – Optional, brightens flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha – Optional, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar – Optional, balances flavors
  • 1 tablespoon Butter – Optional, for richness
  • 1/2 cup Frozen vegetables – Corn, peas, spinach, etc.

Instructions

1. Chop garlic, green onions, and any veggies you’re using. Crack eggs if adding directly into broth.

2. Boil water as directed on ramen package. Add only half the seasoning packet, then stir in garlic and ginger. Let simmer for 1 minute.
