The 25 Best Soups, In Order

[jmowreader]

187. How do you make your ramen?

One of my unit's KATUSAs in Seoul taught us his mother's secret recipe for Ramyon (the signs on the noodle shops say either Ramyon or Ramien)...

you need:
broth, can be any kind - chicken is what I use
soy sauce
packet of Ramyon noodles, which must be from Korea (not sure why, but his mom was insistent that only Korean-made Ramyon would do)
shredded cheese
raw egg
shredded ham
finely chopped green onions

Her first step was to take the little foil packet of whatever-in-hell-that-is and throw it in the trash.

Next, bring the broth to simmer and drop in the noodles. Let simmer for thirty minutes to get the flavor infused in the noodles.

Put it in a bowl. Drop the raw egg right on top of the noodles. Wait till it cooks.

Then add all the rest of the ingredients except the soy sauce. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Serve with soy sauce on the side.

Use low-sodium broth and you're not dealing with as bad a heart attack in a bowl.
