Servings: 1 mug soup   |   Prep Time: 3 minutes   |   Cook Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water

  4. Microwave for another 30–45 seconds until steaming and egg is fully set.
  5. Top with extra chili oil or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.

Can I make it vegetarian?
Use vegetable broth or miso paste instead of ramen seasoning.

Can I use chili flakes instead of chili crisp?
Yes, but chili crisp adds oil and crunch that make the soup richer.
