Nothing beats a warm bowl of homemade ramen on a cozy movie night. This comforting dish is easy to make at home and customizable to suit your taste. Whether you prefer a rich broth or a veggie-packed version, ramen can be tailored to create the perfect movie snack.
Ingredients Needed
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 packs ramen noodles (discard flavor packets)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 soft-boiled eggs
- Fresh vegetables (green onions, spinach, mushrooms)
- Protein options (chicken, tofu, shrimp)
- Optional toppings (nori, chili flakes, sesame seeds)
Step-by-Step Preparation
Start by heating the broth in a large pot over medium heat. Add soy sauce and sesame oil for flavor. While the broth warms, prepare your protein and vegetables. Soft-boil the eggs for about 6-7 minutes, then peel and set aside.
Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. Once the broth is hot, add your vegetables and protein to cook through, about 3-5 minutes.
Divide the cooked noodles into bowls. Ladle the hot broth with vegetables and protein over the noodles. Top each bowl with a halved soft-boiled egg, sliced green onions, and any additional toppings you like.
