Ingredients- 1 packet of ramen (choose your favorite kind)
- 1 stalk of scallion (the white part is especially good)
- 4-5 cloves of garlic (thinly sliced for maximum aroma)
- 1 egg (a fresh egg will enhance the flavor)
- Chili oil or cooking oil, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 4-5 cloves of garlic and slice them thinly. This way, the garlic’s aroma will infuse better into the oil, adding a delicious flavor.
Step 2
Next, prepare 1 stalk of scallion. Cut it in half lengthwise, then cut each half into three pieces, about 5cm long. This size is perfect for stir-frying, as it will soften slightly while retaining a pleasant bite.
Step 3
That’s it for the preparation! Isn’t it wonderfully simple?
Step 4
Now, heat 1-2 tablespoons of chili oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and stir-fry slowly, being careful not to burn it. The garlic will turn golden brown and release a wonderful aroma. If you don’t have chili oil, regular cooking oil works just fine.
Step 5
Once the garlic is fragrant and slightly cooked, add the sliced scallions to the pan. Stir-fry them together to release their natural sweetness and fragrance, creating a delicious scallion oil. This step is key to making your ramen broth incredibly rich and flavorful. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring nothing burns.
Step 6
After the scallion and garlic have released their flavors into the oil, pour in the amount of water needed to cook one packet of ramen. You can usually find the recommended water amount on the ramen packaging.
Step 7
Once the water comes to a rolling boil, add the ramen noodles and the soup base packet. Gently separate the noodles with chopsticks as they cook to ensure they don’t clump together.
Step 8
Finally, crack 1 egg into the boiling broth. You can whisk it in for an egg-drop soup effect or let it poach gently. This extra step of stir-frying the garlic and scallions before adding water makes a significant difference, elevating your ramen to a gourmet level. You’ll truly taste the enhanced flavor!
Step 9
And there you have it! Your delicious Scallion and Garlic Ramen is ready.
Step 10
Experience a depth of flavor far beyond ordinary ramen. It’s so incredibly delicious, you’ll keep wanting more! Enjoy your meal!
