Elevated Ramen Egg Drop Soup (Print Version)

A quick 15-minute comfort soup that elevates instant ramen with silky egg ribbons, fresh vegetables, and aromatic sesame.

# What You'll Need:

→ Broth Base

01 - 2 cups water
02 - 1 package (3 oz) instant ramen noodles, any flavor
03 - 1 ramen seasoning packet
04 - 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
05 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

→ Egg Mixture

06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional)

→ Vegetables & Garnishes

08 - 1/2 cup baby spinach or bok choy, chopped
09 - 2 scallions, thinly sliced
10 - 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
11 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and the seasoning packet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
02 - Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the spinach (or bok choy) and corn; simmer for 1 minute.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (if using) until well combined.
04 - Reduce the soup to a gentle simmer. Slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the hot soup in a thin stream, stirring gently with chopsticks or a fork to create silky ribbons.
05 - Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the egg is just set and the noodles are tender.
06 - Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, and black pepper. Serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Fast: Takes only 15 minutes from start to finish.
  • Texture: Features delicate, silky egg ribbons and tender noodles.
  • Customizable: Easily adapted with your favorite vegetables or spice levels.
02 -
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness, as the ramen seasoning packet already contains salt.
  • Ensure you drizzle the egg in a very thin stream while stirring constantly for the most professional egg-drop look.
