Homemade Egg Drop Ramen: Quick and Comforting Asian Noodle Soup
Ingredients
For the Broth:
- 4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 piece of ginger, grated

For the Ramen:
- 2 pack ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packets)
- Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions
- Prepare the Broth:In a large pot, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium-high heat. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Cook the Ramen Noodles:While the broth is simmering, cook the ramen noodles separately according to the package instructions. Drain the cooked noodles and set them aside.
- Whisk the Eggs:In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and add the thinly sliced green onions. Mix gently.
- Egg Drop Technique:Once the broth is simmering, reduce the heat to low. While gently stirring the broth in a clockwise direction, slowly pour the beaten egg mixture into the pot in a thin, steady stream. The eggs will cook almost instantly, forming delicate ribbons in the soup. Turn off the heat.
