10-Minute Spam Ramen

Nguyên liệu

• 1 package Instant ramen
• 1 to 2 thin slices Spam ((I used 25% less sodium Spam))
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 green onions (, chopped and separated)
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 2 cups water ((or the amount of water according to your ramen package instructions))
• Seasoning packages from your instant ramen
• 1 egg
• Toasted sesame oil ((Optional))
• Homemade chili oil ((Optional but highly recommended))
• Chopped green onions for garnish ((Optional))

Cách làm

1. 1

   Option 1: Combine the chicken broth, the white part of the green onions, the soy sauce, and the sugar in a small pot. Heat over medium-high heat until boiling. Turn to medium-low heat to reduce to a simmer.

2. 2

   Option 2: Bring the water to a boil and add half of the Instant ramen seasoning package (see footnote). Turn to medium-low heat to reduce to a simmer.

3. 3

   While boiling the ramen broth, add the sliced Spam into a small nonstick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Cook until the bottom side turns golden brown. Flip to brown the other side. Transfer the cooked Spam to a plate.

4. 4

   Your pan should have some residual oil rendered from the Spam. Add the egg in the same skillet, cover with a lid and turn to medium-low heat. Cook the egg to your preferred doneness, then transfer it to the plate with cooked Spam.

5. 5

   To cook the instant ramen, turn the stove with the pot of broth to medium-high again to bring the broth back to boiling. Add the ramen and cook according to the instructions. Taste the ramen broth. Add more salt (or seasoning powder) to adjust the seasoning, if needed.

6. 6

   Once done, immediately transfer the broth and the ramen to a medium-sized bowl. Top with the Spam slices and egg. Drizzle with sesame oil and chili oil, if using. Garnish with the green part of the green onions. Enjoy!
