Print Recipe

Transform a simple packet of instant ramen into a delicious, comforting bowl with a jammy egg, butter, soy sauce, and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. This 5-minute recipe is perfect for late-night cravings or a quick meal between classes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 packet instant ramen noodles (any brand, but Maruchan or Nissin preferred)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • Everything bagel seasoning (or sesame seeds)
  • Sriracha or chili crisp (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the ramen block in a microwave-safe bowl and add enough water to cover it completely. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
  2. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave. Gently crack the egg into the center of the noodles without stirring. Cover the bowl with a small plate or paper towel.
  3. Microwave for another 45 seconds to 1 minute (adjust based on microwave wattage) until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny.
  4. Sprinkle the frozen peas and carrots over the noodles. They will thaw from the residual heat.
  5. Carefully pour off most of the water, leaving just a little at the bottom to keep the noodles moist.
  6. Add the butter, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir gently, breaking the egg yolk if desired.
  7. Top with sliced green onion, everything bagel seasoning, and sriracha if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, do not overcook the egg; a jammy yolk is key. Add the butter last for maximum flavor. Use real soy sauce instead of the seasoning packet for better taste. If the noodles seem dry after draining, add a splash of hot water.
