A quick and easy ramen stir-fry with a crispy egg, perfect for dorm life or busy days. Made with simple ingredients, this comforting dish comes together in about 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium if available)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce
  • 1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Bring about 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot. Add the ramen block (discard seasoning packet) and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but still al dente. Drain and set aside. Rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
  2. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Stir and adjust to taste.
  3. In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil or water. Cook frozen vegetables for 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly browned. Push to one side.
  4. Add butter or oil to the empty side of the pan. Let it get hot, then crack the egg into the pan. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until edges are golden brown and lacy, yolk still runny.
  5. Add drained noodles to the pan with vegetables. Pour sauce over everything. Toss and stir for about 1 minute until noodles are well coated and heated through.
  6. Slide noodle mixture onto a plate or bowl. Top with crispy egg. Garnish with sliced green onions and any other desired toppings.

Notes

For the crispiest egg, use high heat and enough fat. Don’t move the egg once it’s in the pan. If the egg sticks, the heat may be too low or not enough fat was used. This recipe is forgiving and can be customized with add-ins like spinach, leftover chicken, or kimchi.
