Upgraded Instant Ramen
Description
The recipe builds flavor by sautéing garlic, ginger, and mushrooms before adding broth and water, creating a foundation richer than standard instant ramen. Cooking the noodles in this broth allows them to absorb nuanced flavors without becoming overly salty or artificial-tasting. The inclusion of fresh spinach wilted at the end adds a bright green element and mild earthiness.
Cracking a whole egg into the broth and letting it cook gently gives the dish protein and a luscious texture. The whites set while the yolk remains runny, allowing for a creamy addition when mixed into the broth. Topping the soup with sliced green onions provides fresh sharpness, while sriracha introduces a spicy heat to taste.
This ramen is served hot, ideal for a quick but upgraded meal. It balances savory, spicy, and fresh ingredients, making a satisfying bowl that elevates instant noodles beyond their usual simplicity.

- 1 handful spinach fresh
- 1 large egg

Instructions
