Easy 7-Minute Spicy Ramen

No reviews

This is my favorite way to upgrade instant ramen when I want something quick, spicy, and ridiculously satisfying. It’s done in about 7 minutes and uses simple ingredients you most certainly already have at home. Whether it’s a late-night craving or just a lazy weeknight dinner, this bowl hits every time.

  • Total Time: 7 minutes
  • Yield: 2 bowls 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 packs instant ramen (or sub any other noodles)
  • 4 cups water (1 liter)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 4-6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral cooking oil)
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (1 tbsp per bowl)
  • 1 vegetable stock cube

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a pan over low heat. Add the chili powder, chili flakes, scallion whites, and garlic. Gently sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant, making sure nothing browns. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Bring the water to a boil and add the vegetable stock cube. Once dissolved, blanch the greens for 30 seconds, then remove and set aside.
  3. Using the same pot, add the eggs and soft-boil for 6 minutes total. Add the ramen halfway through so the noodles finish cooking at the same time (for 3-minute ramen, add them after the eggs have cooked for 3 minutes). Strain the noodles and reserve the broth. Cool, peel, and halve the eggs.
  4. Divide the chili-garlic oil between two bowls. Add 1 tbsp dark soy sauce to each, then pour over 2 cups of hot broth per bowl. Add the noodles and top with blanched greens, soft-boiled egg halves, and sliced green onions.
