Spruce up that instant chicken ramen by adding actual protein and veggies that yields a creamy broth. This is my take on instant ramen/egg drop soup. Top with chopped chives and crispy wonton strips if desired. They are sold as a salad topping and can be found with croutons.
Ingredients
- 1 package chicken flavored ramen noodles , 3 ounce
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cups frozen peas and carrots
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
-
1
Break up noodles and place in a microwave safe bowl. Add water and frozen veggie mix. Microwave on high 7 minutes.
-
2
Meanwhile whisk egg, mayonnaise, and season packet from the instant ramen together in a large bowl.
-
3
Temper egg mixture by ladling 1/4 cup of the boiling water from the noodles, whisking until combined. Ladle another 1/4 cup of the boiling water whisking until egg is "cooked" and completely incorporated.
-
4
Add remaining liquid and the noodles. Let sit until the noodles have absorbed the majority of the liquid, about 3 minutes.
-
5
Ladle into 2 serving bowls and serve immediately.

Konbu Dashi
Dashi is an essential broth base for most Japanese dishes and can be purchased in most Asian grocery stores. For those who want to make it from scratch, there are several recipes out there, but I find this one is the easiest. This recipe uses konbu (also spelled kombu), a variety of dried edible kelp that is harvested off the coast of Hokkaido and as far south as the Seto Sea. This is a good vegetarian broth that enhances the subtle flavors of Japanese cuisine. It is also a bit friendlier to the Western chef than katsubuoshi, which is made from dried fish flakes and can be very aromatic.
