Ingredients
  

Instant ramen noodles
  • 4 packages instant ramen noodles Reserve the seasoning packets for later.
  • 6 cup water
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 2 green onions Slice before using.
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce Add to taste.
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce Optional.

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch oven

Method
 

Cook the ramen base
  1. Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a pot over the campfire. Keep it at a rolling boil so the noodles cook evenly once added.
  2. Add 4 packages instant ramen noodles (reserve seasoning packets) and 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables. Stir to submerge the noodles and distribute the vegetables.
  3. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Look for the noodles to soften and the broth to stay simmering actively.
  4. Crack 4 eggs directly into the pot. Add them one at a time so the whites set in place.
  5. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the eggs are poached and the noodles are tender. The egg whites should look set while the yolks remain soft.
Season and serve
  1. Add the reserved ramen seasoning packets and stir to combine. Taste the broth and make sure the seasoning fully dissolves.
  2. Divide the ramen into bowls and top with 2 sliced green onions. Finish with soy sauce to taste and hot sauce if using.

Notes

Pro tip: crack eggs into the broth right after the noodles have softened so the eggs poach cleanly without overcooking. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 days, reheating gently on low (eggs may firm up). Freezing isn’t recommended for best texture. For a dietary swap, use soy sauce labeled gluten-free (and confirm the ramen noodles are gluten-free) if needed.
