How to Add an Egg to Ramen in 3 Simple Steps.
Preparing a bowl of ramen is easy and delicious, but can be enriched with an egg.
Ramen noodles are made from wheat flour, salt, water, and kansui (alkaline mineral water). The dough is then shaped into thick ropes and cut into individual pieces for cooking. This method of making ramen noodles originated in China because the ingredients are easier to acquire there than in Japan. There are many varieties of ramen that are prepared by adding different ingredients after the noodles have been prepared. One popular variation includes eggs. Here are three steps on how you can easily add eggs to your ramen.
What Ingredients Are Needed?
Ramen noodles: 1 package of dry ramen of your choice
Egg: One egg
Soup: Enough soup to fill the pot with 4-6 cups of water or broth.
How to Cook the Eggs
1. Prepare your noodles according to the package instructions, but cook them for an additional minute.
2. Add your seasoning to the water at this point.
3. Cook the eggs in a separate pan before adding them to the ramen noodles just before serving.
4. Stir until mixed well and enjoy!
How to Prepare Your Ramen
1. Bring water to a boil
2. Add the desired amount of ramen noodles to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes
3. Add two eggs to the pot and allow them to cook for around three minutes.
4. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon, chop them up, and return them to the pot
5. Serve your ramen in its broth along with toppings like soy sauce or chili oil
Heat up the broth
The first step is to heat up the broth.
Ramen noodles are usually cooked in a soup with various ingredients, but for this recipe, you'll only need water and salt. Pour the water into a pot and add enough salt to flavor it. If you want to add any other spices or herbs at this point, feel free! Bring the mixture to a boil and then lower the heat. The goal here is to get all of your veggies and meats ready for cooking while waiting for the broth to simmer.
Add in noodles and toppings
.
Before cooking the ramen noodles, you'll want to add in your chosen toppings. These might include vegetables, seafood, or meat. For this recipe, we recommend adding vegetables like carrots and cabbage for an extra hearty dish.
Next, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and slowly add in the desired amount of noodles. Give them about three minutes before removing them with tongs.
Add eggs.
Preparing noodles is the first step in the process. Slowly pour boiling water over the dried noodles in a bowl and let them soak for 10 to 15 minutes. This will soften the noodles and make them easier to eat after they are cooked.
Next, you'll want to cook your broth. You can do this in a pot on the stovetop, in an electric pressure cooker, or in an electric rice cooker. Add water and bouillon cubes (or instant bouillon) to the pot and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for 10 minutes then strain out any excess liquid or fat that may have risen to the surface during cooking time.
Once you have cooked your broth, boiled eggs will be added before mixing them together with the ramen noodles for serving. The eggs are not added at any other stage of preparation because they will overcook when you add them later on in the process. Steaming eggs instead of boiling them is also an option if you prefer that method of cooking eggs.
Conclusion
Sometimes you need to spice up your ramen with the addition of an egg. It's a quick and easy way to make your meal more decadent. This recipe will show you how to add an egg to ramen in three easy steps, so you can enjoy your meal with a little more of a fancy touch.
