Ingredients
For the Ramen
- 1 pack instant ramen
- 1 large egg, for the sauce
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- ¼ tsp chili powder, or to taste
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
- 2–4 Tbsp hot ramen water, as needed
For Serving
- 1 large egg, soft-boiled
- 1 Tbsp sliced green onions
- Chili flakes, to taste
- ½ tsp sesame seeds
How to Make It
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil.
- Carefully add 1 egg and cook for 6–7 minutes for a soft-boiled center.
- Transfer the egg to cold water, then peel and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining egg, ramen seasoning packet, chili powder, peanut butter, grated garlic, and ground black pepper.
- Mix until well combined.
- Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions.
- Before draining, reserve some of the hot ramen water.
- Add 2–4 Tbsp of the hot ramen water to the peanut mixture a little at a time and stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add the hot noodles and toss until evenly coated.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the soft-boiled egg, green onions, chili flakes, and sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately.
- Cook the topping egg for about 6 minutes for a runnier yolk or closer to 7 minutes for a slightly firmer center.
- Add the hot ramen water gradually so you can control the thickness of the peanut sauce.
- Finely grate the garlic so it blends smoothly into the sauce.
- Use the noodles while they are still hot to help the sauce become creamy and coat them evenly.
- Adjust the chili powder and chili flakes depending on your preferred spice level.
