Isn’t It Ramen-tic

Dressed-Up Cheesy Chicken Ramen

1 package chicken ramen

1-2 slices American cheese

scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish

jammy poached eggs, for serving (see recipe below)

Following the package of chicken ramen, cut cooking time by 1 minute. When ready, add 2 slices of American cheese and the scallions just after adding the chicken flavor packet and mix together. Add the jammy eggs cut in half (recipe below) and serve while piping hot.

For the jammy eggs:

4 eggs

large ice bath

Bring a large saucepan of water to a rapid boil. Carefully add the eggs to the boiling water. Set your timer for 7 minutes.

While the eggs are boiling, prepare your ice bath. Fill a large bowl with ⅔ ice and cover it with cold tap water. Set aside.

At the 7-minute mark exactly, carefully remove the eggs one by one with a slotted spoon. Transfer each egg immediately to the ice bath and allow the eggs to sit in the ice bath for about 5 minutes.

Carefully peel each egg.

Slice the peeled eggs in half. Marinate in the recipe below for up to an hour.

Optional marinade for the eggs:

2 tablepsoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Mix together until sugar is dissolved.
