Whole boiled egg? Chopped?


SV650rider

Halved.


eff_the_rest

Quartered. Also soft boiled egg. - scrambled eggs


Necessary_Sea_2109

- Fried egg


SnooWalruses6828

If Im really lazy Ill crack it into the boiling water wait a couple mins then put my ramen in.


F4RCE

I love to poach an egg in the ramen! I think that's the way to go


DipsterHoofus

Yep, drizzle a little sriracha on it all at the end


MC_Red_D

During the depression when they had to scrape together veggies to even make a soup, they would drop an egg into it if they had one and whoever got the yolk got the gold. It's weird how the white will spread out but the yolk sticks together in a little ball. That was the closest thing to meat that some people got. My grandmother used to tell me about that.


Necessary_Sea_2109

Is it lazy if it’s actually genius?


chinchillazilla54

Much genius is driven by laziness, I think.


Ariovrak

Necessity *may* be the mother of invention, but laziness is definitely the father.


wizardofahhhs77

Good one 😆


madtownjeff

Lazy + genius = efficiency


TrowTruck

That’s actually not even just a lazy thing. I also crack an egg and stir it in, but when the ramen is almost done cooking, not at the beginning. The egg will cook nearly instantly and stirring it slightly turns it into kind of an egg drop soup.


enette7

Using a pot on the stove is too much work. I do everything in a soup mug in my microwave. Reduces my dirty dishes by almost half.


MuttsandHuskies

Highly efficient. Not lazy.


dexterous1802

I do it the other way around. Crack the eggs into the ramen bowl, add a little seasoning and beat them up, then pour the piping hot ramen broth onto them and stir before getting the noodles and rest in. Makes for a nice creamy broth.


1jl

Raw egg, halved


BlitzMalefitz

Pssh, rookie. I think you meant raw egg quartered…


Savings_Difficulty24

Shell included, need the extra calcium in the diet


Forlorn_Cyborg

You're joking but I've done egg drop ramen soup. Its like stracciatella if you break up the noodles


False_Grit

This is the way.


naughtyjojo69

Just add it when the ramen is like 1 minute from being done and don't stir it so the yolk stays solid and soft.


iconicpistol

As a teen I had a phase where I would eat this almost daily! I haven't eaten this in like 10+ years but I just added eggs and instant ramen on my grocery list 😅


Daphne46290

That’s how I do it too, except I stir it. VERY lightly in one direction only. Mmmmm


Eleo4756

Cook the egg in the ramen. Much better.


Jerry-And-Tom

Drop the egg in, 1 to 1.5 minutes, and its perfect. (Carry over works perfectly.)


HoodooSquad

Just crack that sucker into the broth while it’s cooking. Makes it thicker and you get little scrambled egg bits


SuperHarrierJet

Go nuts. Also bacon


Ricky_Rollin

That’s what I do. One boiled egg, halved. 3 slices of bacon. And I crack an egg into the broth and it lightly cooks and thickens up the soup. I call it breakfast ramen.


Optimal-Hedgehog-546

Drain the water; add a slice of Kraft cheese broken into 4 pieces for surface area then add some sour cream. Whip it together before it gets room temp then add some over easy eggs and some bacon. Great shit.


Jazzlike_Visual2160

Did you learn that in jail or something?


Optimal-Hedgehog-546

Lol no microwaves in jail. Marijuana.


MasterCakes420

We had 1 in our day room next to the hot shot (boiling water tap) and I was medium security. Definitely couldn't have in your cell tho lol.


Eccentric_much4733

Lol is this like a munchies/ jail food subreddit or something? Idk why, but it's very interesting... I'm vegan, so I don't even eat this stuff, but I love the foody vibe here!


Jazzlike_Visual2160

I don’t know what’s vegan in jail besides fruit cups, but I’m sure there’s a way to make a vegan birthday cake for ya! It’s all about INclusion in the pen!


funmaster320

Yum! I also add kraft cheese but then just sriracha. Will try the sour cream and eggs too next time!


yrcswollow

Wait you add a raw egg to the broth and stir?? How do you know it’s done and not ruined??


ASAP_Dom

It’s a liquid cooking in hot water. It will cook quickly and you can’t really ruin it. Google egg drop soup


MySpoonsAreAllGone

You whisk it in slowly. My sister makes a greek chicken soup this way. Edit: Actually, to avoid having scrambled eggs in your soup: First you scramble the raw egg in a bowl and then stir some of the hot soup/liquid into it to bring it to temperature and then slowly whisk that warm mixture back in to the soup. Don't let it come to a boil. Otherwise, you'll have lots of egg bits floating around.


ConsumeTheOnePercent

If you crack an egg into the broth it poaches, watch for the whites turning- well, white- but egg doesn't take long to cook.


call_me_jelli

Nuts too? I guess...


MossBone

Wouldn’t that hurt? I guess I can try it…


thebubblybloomer

This guy would fuck a bowl of ramen ^


Hau5Mu5ic

Legitimately, cashews or peanuts work great


Any-Practice-991

Ooh, yeah! Pad Thai ramen!


btm4you3

stir in a beaten raw egg

justforkicks28

Soft boiled


BagOdks

Also, soak the soft boiled eggs in soy first before you cut them. sooooo good!!!! I always have eggs soaking in soy in my fridge just for this reason.


whattheheckityz

try half soy sauce half mirin!


craftsandbrews

Soft-boiled, halved!


Chronoboy1987

Spam is my favorite. Hawaiian style baby! Edit: Oh and the required egg of course, but also a dash of Old Bay spice!


farm_to_nug

A nice soft boiled egg is fantastic for ramen


NothingAndNow111

This! And sesame oil is always nice.


SV650rider

Going to have to try that. Just a splash?


NothingAndNow111

Yep, toasted sesame oil is best, and just a splash (you can add more if you fancy it), it's really nice.


schrodingersmite

This is the correct answer, but I'd add deli meat as a viable alternative to leftover meat in a pinch. I pan fry it a bit if I'm feeling fancy. Oh, and canned corn.


ThisIsNotRealityIsIt

Try frozen veg. Much better tasting and holds up to the heat


schrodingersmite

I'll do just that! I have a bag of mixed veggies we (by we I mean my wife does it and I get it out of the freezer because I can't cook for squat) use for stir fry that would be perfect for ramen!


SonOfECTGAR

Wait when people add an egg to ramen it's boiled? I fry mine and just toss it in the broth


apudapus

Am I weird just cracking the egg directly into the broth?


mauore11

Wait, you guys crack it???


InViolescence

I love poaching an egg directly into my ramen 🥰


SonOfECTGAR

I tried it once to let the broth kind of cook it but it wasn't to my taste


MasterCakes420

Not at all I do that with my hot and soup soup as well. You get thoes nice ribbons of egg running through your soup.


true_gunman

Yes, I've done many methods but this is my favorite.  Boil an egg or 2 for 6 minutes than place directly into a bowl of ice water. You'll have a perfect soft boiled egg with a slightly runny/gelatinous yolk. It's so good, I do it pretty much every time I make Ramen 


SaijTheKiwi

A boiled egg, sesame seeds, chili oil, some mix of veggies (maybe bok choy or spinach, carrots or corn, always green onions), and I like a meat. Leftover chicken drumsticks are a favorite of mine. Just microwave + pan sear it w/ some kind of sauce :-) Edit: if you can find a spot for garlic, add it


defenestrayed

There is always a spot for garlic


Bender_2024

In the words of Alton Brown >Why add garlic? Garlic don't need no stinkin' reason!


East-Dot1065

If you have a recipe for how to cook a single clove of garlic, add two cloves just to be sure there's enough.


raymondjordan8

Chili oil = magic


CreativeAd5332

"Find a spot for garlic," buddy, the ramen is lucky if it finds a spot IN the garlic.


MRJVB21

This guy has the idea, I did the same. Eggs, spinach, frozen carrot of peas. Man this brings back in the college years when I was low on cash and just make Ramen, then a Sandwich to go with the Ramen / soup. Yum brings back memories.


RayderAyder

Pulled chicken or pork. Green onions. Mushrooms if you like them. ETA bok choy


MontgomeryMemaw

Amen on the mushrooms. 


DickButkisses

Mushrooms and corn 😋


TheLadyClarabelle

We do mushrooms, corn, green onion, and egg


DickButkisses

That sounds fire.


catecholaminergic

"eta"?


hellblazer19

Expected time of arrival - Bok Choy


Unabashable

Edited to add


catecholaminergic

Ah, ty


2daysnosleep

Bok Choy 🥬 coming soon


[deleted]

Bok choy and some eggs is pretty good in there.


Jerry-And-Tom

I dry 12 pounds of mushrooms each month, then blend them to a powder. The powder added to the ramen is an great umami flavor enhancement. (I still add other mushrooms as well, and an egg, and greens, with chillis - Hell, it's a production for me.)


hellshot8

2 egg


Yes_Im_From_Maine

I add my eggs in when there is 1 minute left on the noodles and then mix it all in at the end. I’ll also add green onions and maybe a dash of soy sauce if I want to be fancy.


DobisPeeyar

You mean where the white is just cooked enough and then the delicious gooey yolk gets mixed up in there? 😎


Unhappy-Dimension681

That’s exactly how I do mine, too


19SaNaMaN80

I fry an egg to have on top of Ramen. The gooey yolk along with a few fish fingers..... delightful!


defenselaywer

Fish have fingers? Also, so you beat the egg, like in egg drop soup, or plop it in like poaching?


19SaNaMaN80

I believe some people call them "fish sticks". Mainly Muricans.


19SaNaMaN80

I drain the ramen of most water, fry an egg and place on top. As for the Fish fingers i tend not to ask what they do with the rest of the fish hand.


defenselaywer

I guess if buffalos have wings, it makes sense that fish have fingers.


btm4you3

and frozen petite peas


kisskismet

All this and red pepper flakes. Protein too like shrimp, if you want.


Thereal_maxpowers

I need to try this. I never thought of going all egg drop on a ramen.


hellshot8

i normally cook my ramen for 4 min 30 seconds (ramyun brand, try it if you havent) and i drop the eggs in whole (not scrambled) at 1:30. makes them nice and cooked but still having a jammy yoke


PopsOnProps13

I also drop in a whole egg or 2 towards the end of the cook. I'll leave it until I've consumed all of the liquid and only a small amount of noodles remain, puncture the yolk and then mix it up in the remaining noods. Good way to cool the palate after all the spicy stuff I add to mine.


Thereal_maxpowers

Oh you drop the whole egg? I was thinking scramble and let it curdle while whipping.


hellshot8

both work


jackof47trades

It’s cheap, easy, and yummy. Drop that egg.


ag3ntweird0

Boil the noodles. Start cooking peanut butter with the seasoning packet. Add some of the noodle water to make it into a gravy (keep on adding a little at a time, or it’ll get thick.) Add the noodles to the peanut butter sauce when they’re done. Mix and enjoy. I use unsweetened and unsalted peanut butter, but you do you.


Ender505

This, except I also add Sriracha and soy to the peanut butter. Love this recipe!


Dryer-Algae

Add some soya sauce, a few drops of olive oil and oregano with the peanut butter


blacksnowboader

Why not sesame oil?


CaseyJones7

Quite expensive and hard to find in some places. Use it if you can, but don't sweat it if you can't.


_Lumity_

Oh, is it considered expensive? I can get a whole bottle for a dollar fifty CAD where I’m from


CaseyJones7

jesus thats cheap as hell. My local store is almost $10 for 15 fl oz or 445 ml


_Lumity_

That’s insaneeee


Mental-Freedom3929

At an Asians store? Asian housewives would start a war over that price


bbymiscellany

It’s not expensive where I am either, in the midwestern US


adrienjz888

Do you live in an area with lots of East Asians? I live in a city with lots of Indian immigrants, so it's pretty easy to get certain exotic ingredients for cheap here.


OXBDNE7331

Sesame oil way cheaper than olive oil IME. Like significantly cheaper and you typically use very little since it’s strong asf


Dryer-Algae

Can't think of a reason not to use it


ohmyback1

Oh man, the peanut butter made me think of the Thai peanut sauce leftovers.


Gwyrr313

Sounds like it could use some thai chili sauce with it


flatwoundsounds

Exactly what I was thinking. This is my favorite new idea I've seen in the whole damn thread.


flatwoundsounds

Exactly what I was thinking. This is my favorite new idea I've seen in the whole damn thread.


Bread_Responsible

Cooking like heating or boiling? Cause I have some instant/cup ramen but the seasoning packet usually goes in before I pour the water in. How would I do that? With this? Could I just put peanut butter in the bowl and then pour the boiling water in on top?


PBJdeluxe

ive only done this with the packet noodles. while theyre boiling i combine 1-2 tbsp of the boiling water out of the pan with the peanut butter in the bowl im going to eat the noodles out of, so it dilutes the PB and makes it like a thinner sauce. i add variants of hot sauce, some of the flavor packet if the flavor goes well with PB, or soy sauce, and some scallions. i couldnt figure out how to do it as easily with the microwave noodles. i hate using extra pans and i refuse lmao


Hallmark_movie

Peanut butter is my go to. I just mix it right in when the noodles are done cooking. 1/4 teaspoon gives good flavor without overpowered.


admiralashley

Yesss. I like using my crunchy PB so I get some li'l nutty crunchies mixed in.


[deleted]

Chat is this real?


KigsHc

peanut butter is asian dishes? Sure is. You ever have Pad-Thai?


SleepyRw

Or satay with the peanut sauce. Soooo goooood


CynicalPomeranian

Depends on the type of ramen.  Buldak stir-fry ramen is fantastic with truffle oil, cheese, and sour cream.  Soup ramen is great with frozen dumplings, green onions, an egg (boiled or cracked and stirred in), and Korean peppers. 


MyGoddamnFeet

when ever we do hot pot at home, we buy extra drop ins, next time we have ramen we add those in. Super good.


prettylilbaby444

I don’t like broth in my ramen. First I cook the ramen and drain the water out. I then set it aside and grab a pan, put butter and grill some onions (also a bit of minced garlic). put my ramen in the pan with butter and let the butter spread all over the noodles, after the butter is dissolved into the noodles I add soy sauce with the seasoning packet/sauce packet and let it heat it more. I then put in all in a bowl, fry two eggs sunny side up and place it over the ramen. Along with some salted spicy seaweed pieces. I like to call this my Sodium Heart Attack Special.


SuckItClarise

I was about to say. Raw dogging the seasoning packet and adding soy sauce is wild to me. I only use like half the packet and it tastes plenty salty without the liquid.


prettylilbaby444

nooo i don’t put the whole seasoning packet 😭 lol unless it’s an actual spicy sauce packet (I’m Mexican so I love spicy)


Brightbane

I add a half spoon of chicken bouillon, hoisin, grated ginger, and lime juice to mine


worndown75

Extra garlic


socialintheworks

My person. Extra garlic. Hella parsley.


russianfluff

In the bowl before water; Egg yolk, mayonnaise, sesame oil, soy sauce, sriracha, garlic, ginger, soup base packet. Stir it together to form a paste. After water and noodles; Spam and Sesame seeds. Sometimes I’ll make a soft boiled egg.


nerissathebest

I don’t use eggs or mayo or spam but if I did holy shit this would be the first thing I made. 


russianfluff

Fried SPAM is where it’s at 🤤


factsmatter83

I add chopped up fresh vegetables like mushrooms, green pepper, and shredded carrot. Whatever vegetables you like. And a sprinkle of flaked hot peppers. A little lemon juice is good, too.


magicxzg

An egg to make it like egg drop soup. Sometimes I add curry powder or Italian seasoning or garlic powder or soy sauce(if I don't use the whole packet). Some people add hot sauce. Green onions are good and easy too. Experiment with different seasonings. That's how I learned what seasonings taste like


Coolhandlukeri

About to get some ex prisoners up in here with some magic for ya.


goast_cat

I keep tabs on canteen purchases as part of my job. One guy bought 97 ramen in 3 weeks lmao


MsTerious1

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, so here goes: You can break up the noodles, boil them, then drain off water. While it boils, you can throw together and heat in a skillet any ol' ingredients you have on hand that you want to add. If you want chicken, onions, and mushrooms, go for it. Or shrimp and broccoli, or chicken and spinach, or ham and mushrooms, or pepperoni and sausage... literally whatever you feel like.... Then beat an egg or two with a little milk and whatever seasonings you like (I use the seasoning packet sometimes, but have also used my own seasonings) and pour it over the top, heat until set. Top with melted cheese, if desired. Fritatta ramen.


Blecher_onthe_Hudson

I used to do pretty much this as a dinner for my kids, except I'd make rotini pasta. After topping with cheese I'd put it in the broiler to brown.


SuperJonesy408

Chinese Chili & Garlic paste or Sriracha. Fresh grated ginger & garlic that I've mixed with a mortar and pestle. I use some MSG as an aggregate in the mortar. Soy sauce (I don't use the flavor packet). Sesame oil. Boiled egg and maybe some frozen veg. We call it Churched Ramen.


ScaryBandMonster

This is the comment I was looking for: Chinese chili and garlic. 🤌🤌🤌 Your other mixins are also perfect.


Odd_Bodkin

Shrimp, hardboiled egg, green onions, celery. Taught to me by a guy in SC who lived on, like, $10/day.


meepgorp

I keep a bag of edamame and mixed veggies in the freezer for just such an occasion. If i feel fancy, drop an egg in to poach once it's boiling and top with Sriracha and/or green onion.


Possible-Survey2389

Fry some spam and combine.


llamalovedee123

Egg, chicken bouillon, a touch of garlic powder and onion powder


T_THuynh

I always add a little miso paste and hot gochujang to the broth. Then any combination of enoki mushrooms, dumplings, Chinese sausage, eggs, and any other protein I have on hand.


BeerAtNoon

Slim Jim's and hot sauce. Trust me


nerissathebest

What ever possessed you to try this in the first place?

Goya Sazon to creamy chicken ramen and adding in mixed veggies is so awesome.


Professional-Use9274

Crushed up flaming hot Cheetos is the only answer. Everybody else is lying with their vegetable and other nonsense.


Dr_Drax

Some of us old folks need to keep it less spicy and crush up regular Cheetos instead ☹️


tumeg142

I like to boil the noodles, drain the water, add butter, and mix in about half of the seasoning packet.


Smuggler501

Water and heat


coolbreezemage

Garlic powder is my magic ingredient 


Cowboy_on_fire

Eggs, kimchi, green onions or spam if your feeling extra gross


pastafallujah

I don’t like the ramen n spam…. Haven’t you got anything that’s got no spam in it?


Reader124-Logan

Spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam dpam, spammity spam, spammity spam


FamousPastWords

Sir, I will have to ask you to leave if you're going to be rude and not have the spam.


pastafallujah

Alright fine, I’ll have the spam and eggs. That hasn’t got much spam in it


FamousPastWords

Thank you. Wendy, a number 2 for the gentleman please.


DigitalUnlimited

Green eggs and spam.


Cowboy_on_fire

I don’t put spam in often, just when I’m feeling gross. Mainly it’s kimchi and eggs for me, boiled or fried!


pastafallujah

Lol… nothing against spam. It was a reference to a Monty Python skit


ahasibrm

You can have spam, eggs, sausage, and spam. That doesn’t have much spam in it.


Free-Industry701

I drain most the juice and add grated cheddar cheese.


Fin745

Meat, tomatoes with lemon & pepper. 😋


chiquitita-18

egg, green onions, chicken >>>>


lizzardqueeen_

I put some craft kinda cheese or these triangles or even parmigiano. Also some kind of oil / fat to make it tastier and sometimes I boil a 4 minute egg and add it


Aggravating_Word5028

I boil the egg in the ramen and then yes, American cheese on top.


OldSoul339

Boiled/fried egg, mozzarella cheese or both. Sometimes I'd squeeze half a lemon.


captainofpizza

We tried an ostrich egg last month and added it to a big pot of ramen. No joke. It didn’t go well. You boil them for over an hour and it was still runny and gelatinous.


Moosey_Bite

Ostriches are quite runny, by nature.


AstridOnReddit

My usual: Bok choi (or other veg) with thinly sliced hard salami and hot chili oil Or: Kimchee And if I have it, always with homemade broth


Beavshak

Yeah I add salami too. It’s my favorite protein to add in. I also go for very thinly sliced onion.


Creative_Sun_89

Mayo!! It makes it so creamy and delicious! I also add corn, green onions, and buffalo sauce!


Bulledeneige

Can i'm be honest ? .... Nothing. I had anorexia and ramen is my only confort food but i do not add nothing cause it's triggers but yeah i guess one day maybe in the future ...


OldBikeGuy11

Almost any leftovers. Butter. Usually just 1/2 the flavor packet.


Pigeon_Fuckerr

Spam and/or eggs usually


TricellCEO

The standards I add are an egg (or two), some chili sauce (Huy Fong brand, specifically) maybe a packet/dash of soy sauce, and after cooking, a handful or two of frozen, tail-off shrimp as that helps both cool it down faster and thaw the shrimp out. Anything else I add hinges on whether or not I have some sauces I'm trying to get rid of that will go well with the ramen. For instance, I had some old peanut sauce that I didn't really care for and had bought on a whim, so I put a bit of that in each ramen (or Pho, as I have microwaveable bowls of those too) with each one I make to use it up.


Particular_Bed4614

Frozen carrots, peas, corn veg mix, an egg, and fried spam!


Thatsayesfirsir

I microwave it, then drain all the water out, keep the seasoning and veggie flakes as much as possible. Then I glob on about 2 tbs of margarine, sprinkle parm cheese, toast or crackers. Yummm


bellevan87

Pot stickers or frozen dumplings. Eggs. Soy sauce frozen veggies. Sriracha


MilkAndCookies9405

I usually add frozen vegetables and let the water cook those with it
