Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
-
Slice sausage into coins or crumble if uncased.
-
Heat 1 tsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Sauté sausage until browned and crispy on the edges. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Spicy Ramen Broth
-
In a pot, heat a dash of oil over medium heat.
-
Add garlic and ginger; sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Stir in broth, soy sauce, gochujang (or sriracha), sesame oil, miso (if using), and chili flakes.
-
Bring to a simmer and cook for 5–10 minutes to meld flavors.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning (more salt, spice, or soy as desired).
Step 3: Cook the Ramen Noodles
-
In the same pot with the simmering broth, add ramen noodles.
-
Cook according to package directions (usually 3–4 mins) until just tender.
-
Stir in the cooked sausage.
Step 4: Fry the Eggs
-
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
-
Crack in the eggs. Fry until whites are set and edges are crispy, yolk still runny (about 2–3 minutes).
-
Season with salt and pepper. For over-easy, flip briefly.
Step 5: Assemble the Bowl
-
Divide the noodles and sausage between two bowls.
-
Ladle in the hot broth.
-
Top each bowl with a fried egg.
-
Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, chili oil, and any other toppings you love.
Tips & Variations
-
Make it Creamy: Stir in a splash of coconut milk or a spoonful of tahini for a creamy version.
-
Add veggies: Toss in spinach, bok choy, mushrooms, or corn for more balance.
-
No gochujang? Use sriracha or red chili paste.
-
Boost umami: A touch of fish sauce or anchovy paste can deepen the broth flavor.
