Ingredients

1 packet of ramen noodles

½ ramen seasoning packet

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ tablespoon soy sauce

½ teaspoon ground ginger

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

Toppings

2 eggs (soft-boiled, poached, or fried)

Nori (seaweed), cut into strips

Shrimp, cooked

Edamame, steamed

Instructions

Cook the Ramen

1. Boil the Noodles:
   • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes.
   • Drain the noodles and set them aside.

Fry the Ramen

1. Heat the Oil:
   • In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

   • Add the half packet of ramen seasoning, soy sauce, ground ginger, and hoisin sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine and create a flavorful base.
3. Fry the Noodles:
   • Add the cooked and drained ramen noodles to the skillet. Toss the noodles in the sauce, stirring frequently, until they start to crisp up slightly and absorb the flavors, about 3-5 minutes. 

Prepare the Toppings

1. Cook the Eggs:
   • Prepare your eggs as desired (soft-boiled, poached, or fried) and set them aside. 
2. Prepare the Shrimp:
   • If using raw shrimp, cook them in a separate pan until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
3. Steam the Edamame:
   • Steam the edamame until tender, usually about 3-5 minutes.
4. Prepare the Nori:
   • Cut the nori into thin strips for garnish.
