Viral TikTok Ramen (Egg Drop Style)
This Viral TikTok Ramen takes instant noodles to the next level with a silky egg drop style twist. Enhanced with soy sauce, aromatic green onions, and a perfectly poached egg, it’s a quick, satisfying meal that’s easy to make and packed with flavour.
Ingredients
- 1 packet instant ramen noodles (any flavour, discard or reduce seasoning packet as needed)
- 2 cups water
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for added flavour)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for spice)
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cook the Ramen
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the instant ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season the Broth
Once the noodles are softened, stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil (if using), garlic powder, and chili flakes for a spicy kick. Taste and adjust the seasoning, reducing or omitting the seasoning packet if it’s too salty.
Add the Egg
Reduce the heat to low. Crack the egg directly into the simmering broth, gently stirring to create ribbons of egg drop. For a poached effect, avoid stirring and let the egg cook for 1–2 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
Serve
Transfer the ramen and broth to a bowl. Top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and additional chili flakes if desired. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Tips for Perfect TikTok Ramen
- Customise protein: Add shredded chicken, tofu, or prawns for a more filling meal.
- Veggie boost: Toss in spinach, bok choy, or mushrooms during the last minute of cooking for added nutrition.
- Spice it up: Drizzle with sriracha or add a spoonful of chili crisp for extra heat.
- Experiment with flavours: Use miso paste or a dash of rice vinegar to elevate the broth.
