Instructions

Fill a medium saucepan two-thirds full with water. Over medium high heat bring the water to a simmer. Stir the water to create a small vortex in the middle. Crack the egg into the center. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until the whites are just set. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the egg to a small plate. Discard the water.

In the same saucepan, add the chicken broth and heat over medium-high heat until boiling. Add the ramen noodles and cook for 2 minutes. Add the flavor packet, stir, and continue to cook for another 30 seconds or until noodles are softened.

Carefully transfer the ramen and broth to a serving bowl. Add the butter, cheese, and poached egg. Garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if using. Serve hot with the chili garlic sauce on the side, if using.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Ramen First 🔥
Lightly toast the dry ramen noodles in a skillet for 1-2 minutes before boiling to deepen their nutty flavor and add complexity to your broth.
Bloom Your Chili Garlic Sauce 🌶️
Whisk the chili garlic sauce into the warm chicken broth before adding noodles to distribute the flavors evenly and prevent clumping.
Poach Your Egg Perfectly 🥚
Create a gentle whirlpool in simmering broth, then slide the egg in to cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk that enriches the entire dish when broken.
Finish Cheese Off Heat 🧈
Remove the pot from heat before stirring in American cheese to prevent it from becoming grainy or separating, ensuring a silky, creamy sauce.
Layer Your Toppings Last ✨
Add toasted sesame seeds and green onion just before serving so they maintain their texture and vibrant color rather than becoming soggy in the hot broth.
