Fancy Ramen Meal
(from cokerlj’s recipe box)
This could be considered Vegetarian or you could serve with some store-bought rotisserie chicken. Doesn’t really need any meat…so very good.

Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (was really good but really spicy...I will cut back on sriracha in the future)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 (3 oz) pkgs chicken flavored ramen noodles
- 2 eggs (I used 3 eggs, 4 would be great too)
- 8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 large carrot, coarsely shredded (1 cup)
- 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cups baby spinach (used a 9 oz package of spinach)
- Crushed red pepper and Sriracha for serving.
Directions
-
In a saucepan, stir together water, soy sauce, garlic, sriracha, sesame oil, vinegar, white pepper, black pepper and 1 of the flavor packets from the ramen. (Save the other packet for future use.)
-
Bring mixture to a boil. Add whole eggs (still in shells) to the saucepan; remove from heat. Cover and let stand 7-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs from saucepan to a bowl of ice water; let cook 30 seconds.
-
Return broth mixture to a boil. Add noodles, mushrooms, carrot and half of the green onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and stir until just wilted.
-
Peel and halve eggs. Top each serving with an egg half and some of the green onions.
-
Serve with crushed red pepper and sriracha.
-
You could add some cut up rotisserie chicken if you absolutely must have something hardy.
