An instant ramen upgrade focused on balanced nutrition that comes together quickly, even on days worn down by caring for aging parents. Add pre-cut vegetables, tomato, okra, canned mackerel in water, and an egg to Marutai ramen, and it all comes together in a single pot. The mackerel broth and the aroma of garlic, along with the body the okra gives the soup, make for a gentle, oil-free bowl.
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients you will use. This recipe uses Marutai ramen, but any instant ramen you have on hand is fine. The vegetables you add can be anything as well.
- Use pre-cut vegetables to keep things simple. Prepare about half a bag, and add a tomato left over in the fridge.
- Slice the garlic for extra stamina.
- For protein, prepare a can of low-fat, high-protein mackerel in water, and wash and chop the okra you had in the fridge.
- Place a pot over the heat and add 350 ml of water.
- Add the canned mackerel along with its liquid from the start for flavor, add the sliced garlic, and bring to a boil.
- Once it comes to a boil, add the pre-cut vegetables. The okra and tomato cook quickly, so add them last. Skim off any scum that rises.
- When the vegetables are cooked through, add the noodles and simmer until they reach your preferred firmness.
- Crack in the egg to add more protein.
- Add the included soup packet, then the included oil packet, and adjust the seasoning.
- Finally, add the tomato and okra and let it come to a brief boil.
- Slide the ramen into a bowl to serve, and if the egg has sunk to the bottom, place it on top and arrange the bowl to finish.
