Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 egg (, soft-boiled (Optional))
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 clove garlic (, minced)
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup broth ((chicken or beef))
  • 1 pack instant ramen (seasoning packet discarded or saved for another dish)
  • 1 baby bok choy (, cut to bite size pieces)
  • 3 slices leftover ham
  • 1 tablespoon green onion (, chopped)
  • Homemade chili oil ((Optional))

Instruction

  • (Optional) If you’re making the soft boiled egg, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Turn to medium-low heat and slowly lower the egg into the pan using a ladle. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes for a soft-boiled egg.
  • Add the butter into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until melted. Add the garlic and curry powder. Stir to release the fragrance, 1 minute or so.
  • Add the coconut milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Add the broth. Let cook until boiling again.
  • Add the instant ramen, baby bok choy, and ham (you can heat up the ham in the microwave as well, for a prettier presentation). Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the noodles are cooked through. Immediately transfer everything to a serving bowl.
  • Top with the soft-boiled egg, if using. Garnish with green onion. You can use some homemade chili oil or a pinch of chili flakes to spice up the broth.
  • Enjoy the ramen as a main dish while hot!
