A quick and comforting ramen soup featuring creamy egg ribbons, sweet corn, and fresh scallions, perfect for a speedy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package instant ramen noodles (non-fried, low-sodium preferred)
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • ½ cup frozen corn kernels
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 23 scallion stalks, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring 3 cups of chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add ½ cup frozen corn kernels and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  3. Add instant ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3 minutes, stirring gently to separate noodles.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. While noodles cook, beat 2 large eggs lightly with a whisk or fork until smooth.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Slowly drizzle beaten eggs into the simmering soup in a thin stream, stirring gently in one direction to create silky egg ribbons.
  7. Stir in 2-3 thinly sliced scallions at the end and let them soften slightly with residual heat.
  8. Give the soup a final gentle stir, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Add eggs slowly and stir gently in one direction to create silky ribbons instead of clumps. Keep broth at a gentle simmer, not boiling, when adding eggs. Use room temperature eggs for even cooking. Fresh scallions added at the end preserve their crispness. Adjust seasoning carefully to avoid oversalting. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently with added broth or water.
