5 Ingredient Ramen with an Egg

Whenever I have late meetings or am running short on time I make this 5 ingredient ramen with an egg – it’s my favorite quick and easy dinner recipe!

On late nights and busy days, sometimes an easy dinner is exactly what I need!  Not only is this ramen with an egg incredibly easy, but it is also so quick to make.  Bonus!

Ingredients needed to make ramen with an egg

What recipes do you need to make Ramen with an egg?

  • Package of Ramen.  I use the chicken flavor, but you can certainly pick your favorite flavor.
  • Frozen mixed vegetables
  • Butter
  • Shredded parmesan cheese
  • Egg

And yes, we’re talking about the ramen that you can buy for under a $1 per package.

How to make the best homemade ramen

How to make ramen noodles with egg:

  1. Fill a small sauce pot halfway up with water and bring to a boil.
  2. Remove seasoning packet from ramen and set aside.  Add dry ramen noodles and frozen vegetables to the boiling water.  Allow to boil for 5 minutes.
  3. Drain water from the noodles and vegetables.  Return to the sauce pan.  Sprinkle contents of the seasoning packet over the noodles and vegetables.  Add in half of the butter and all of the shredded parmesan cheese.  Stir until well combined and the butter has melted.
  4. While the noodles and vegetables are boiling, melt the other half of the butter in a small frying pan and crack in the egg.  Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Cook on high for 1 minute and then reduce heat to medium and cook for 4 minutes (this is for a sunny side up egg.  If you like your eggs cooked longer, feel free!)
  6. To serve, add noodles and vegetables to a large bowl and top with the egg.  Enjoy!

With the yolk that runs over the cheesy seasoned noodles it reminds me of a ramen carbonara, it’s seriously SO GOOD!

The meal in its entirety (boiling the water/frying the egg, etc) only takes 15 minutes! And there’s no prep or anything.  It’s quite literally one of the easiest and best dinners ever (not to mention one of the cheapest dinners!)

I always love having this for dinner when I want to mix it up a bit but don’t have the energy or time to make anything else – it’s my go-to (like for example right after Thanksgiving, the last thing I wanted was the same kind of foods so I made this and it was just what the doctor ordered, so if you’re getting sick of the same foods try this to mix it up!)

What is your go-to meal or what do you make when you’re super short on time but still want a home cooked meal?

    Hello! I’ve tried out your recipe, and although the taste is very good, the texture leaves something to be desired. I find that once all the water is drained, the noodles become a large, sticky, unmanageable blob, and I’m not sure that’s what’s intended. Am I doing something wrong?

      So glad you enjoyed the taste! I think it sounds like you way overcooked the noodles, I’ve never had them become a blob (love the description though lol). I’d try not cooking the ramen so much next time.

    There are better Ramen brands than Marchuan. Marchuan is not the be all end all in ramen, despite their big presence. Try the ramens in the Asian section for mind blowing awesomeness. In fact, just shop in the Asian area for authentic foods.

    Found this in a google search to find a new and better tasting way to prepare ramen. I was a little skeptical while making it but it turned out absolutely delicious! For my own personal preference , the next time I make this I will cut the seasoning packet in half. Thanks so much for posting the recipe!

    Ramen Noodles are so universal and quick and easy. Love to use the chicken and break an egg while the noodles are cooking, instant egg drop soup. I usually don’t use the flavor packet because of the high content of Sodium but instead use low sodium chicken broth. Thanks for the idea of using frozen vegetables.

    Thank you for your response. After having left my comment, I Googled “what are the seasonings in ramen noodle packets?” and basically understand that crushed up bouillon cubes would account for the salt. I can accommodate that with my own adjustments. 🙂

    Being a student means I don’t really have the budget for fancy foods, and because of deadlines and work I don’t have time to cook big meals so often just go for things like plain old pasta or chicken nuggets, etc. and more often than not just decide not to cook vegetables. This recipe is fantastic as it takes so little time and works with my budget, meaning I’m more inclined to add those needed vegetables!
    Thanks for the recipe!!

    This meal very quick and easy. But I honestly will never cook this again its basically having ramen soup with breakfast egg. Nothing tasty about it. Maybe my pallette is beyond this.

      Hi Natalie, thanks for your comment. I’m surprised to hear this, this is a recipe that I am always getting feedback on by people saying how much they love it. So there are two things in your comment that lead me to believe maybe you didn’t make the recipe correctly which is why it didn’t turn out right. The first is you mentioned ‘ramen soup’ … did you by chance make it like soup? That could definitely have something to do with it. I too really don’t like ramen as a soup. The second thing you said is a ‘breakfast egg’ … did you by chance over-cook your egg? I give instructions for it to made like an over-easy egg. The end result is more like a pasta dish than a soup/with egg dish. It ends up tasting like a carbonara pasta dish if it’s made correctly, where you crack the yolk from the egg and stir it with the pasta. Regardless, sorry you didn’t enjoy it.

    So easy, so frugal and yet so tasty! Thank you dear Phi! We tried once those seasoned noodles, but found them rather bland. Now we know how to put them into use and make a yummy dish in no time at all!
    A big kiss for that!

      This is such an easy and frugal recipe and definitely tasty. I know what you mean about trying seasoned noodles and finding them bland, I too really didn’t like the soups they were supposed to make-very watery and blah, but when made a slightly different way as in the recipe, they’re truly amazing!!
