Ramen for a quick fix anyone?


Gourmet Ramen Noodle Soup with Prawns...and egg, and vege

I love ramen noodles every once in a while especially when I am really busy and tired and all I wanted was a bowl of steamy noodle soup. It's not the healthiest food to eat but if you add in a few other nutritious ingredients, they might even be better than some fast food you get out there.

All you need is a pack of remen noodles with seasonings. I like chicken or shrimp flavors, with sesame oil.

  • Ramen instant noodles
  • Bok choy or other green leafy vege
  • at least 6 prawns, I left the shell intact, and slit an opening to devein and clean
  • few drops of sesame oil
  • white pepper powder for some kick
  • an egg for extra protein, optional
Cook noodles separately, let the water boil, drop in noodles, dish up into a serving bowl when noodles start losening. I like mine slightly firm, besides it will continue to cook when you add hot broth later. Boil sufficient water to make broth, add half pack of seasoning or to taste (since prawns add sweetness to broth). Firstly, add prawns, let a quick boil then simmer, dish up when prawns begin to turn pink, dish up and put on noodles. Proceed on to adding vege til leaves wilted slightly, again I like to make mine slightly crunchy, dish up and add on top or side of prawns. Lastly, whisk up an egg or drop whole in the simmered broth, cook to doneness or the way you like it. Add a few drops of sesame oil and dashes of pepper. Pour broth over noodle bowl. Viola! It's really tasty!
