Ramen Bowl Noodles
Advanced tips:
- For those of us who like things more savory and less soupy, after cooking the noodles (but before adding the spice packet or extra ingredients) pour some of the cooking water out. Then add your ingredients. The result is far punchier (and less messy for your white shirt).
- I always try to leave the noodles a little on the al dente side. They will keep cooking in the hot soup.
- Got some leftover shredded chicken from the delivery spot in the fridge? Nuke it and add it. Don’t be shy. We’re talking drunk, comfort food here.
- A tiny cube of Japanese Curry stirred in will thicken the soup up and add a depth of flavor not usually present if you’re just relying on the spice packet that came with your noodles.
Pour boiling water and cover for a few minutes.
Ideas for ingredients to add to your instant ramen noodles.

When do you add the egg?
Hi Paul! You can add the egg whenever you like, there are no rules for instant ramen! My favorite though is to lightly poach them and top the ramen once the noodles have cooked. It’s the best!
Just made this for lunch, thank you so much!

Love instant noodles. My favorite is Ichiban noodles. I drop an egg in there and whisk it around with a fork. Bok choy, if I have it, and scallions for some onion flavor. I’ll have to try this version. I’m not a sriracha fan, though, but can find something else, I’m sure. Tiparos is also my preferred fish sauce. It’s what my family has used for forever.
