Mexican Chorizo Instant Ramen

Hello and Welcome! Today I have another Not-so-Instant Instant Ramen recipe for you. The Mexican flavors of chorizo and cilantro go really well with ramen noodles, egg and my favorite Instant Ramen method – which is to add an American Cheese single to give the broth rich creaminess. It might sound weird, but it all works really well. It’s a great way to mix up the flavors of some pantry/fridge staples. Let’s do it!

This recipe is really simple. Start by cooking the chorizo in a skillet, breaking it up as it cooks, until it’s browned and cooked through. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to boil. When it’s boiling, gently add one or two eggs and set a timer for 8 minutes. Remove the chorizo from heat when it’s cooked through and set aside.

When the 8 minute time on the eggs is up, transfer the eggs to an ice bath.

Instant Ramen Noodles

Rinse out that saucepan and add 1.5 cups of water to the saucepan. Place it back on the stove over high heat and bring to a boil. When the water is boiling, add a teaspoon of Roast Chicken Better Than Bouillon. Stir to dissolve the bouillon. Then add the ramen noodles.

Use a fork to flip over the block of ramen noodles and then gently separate the noodles with the fork. As soon as the noodles separate easily, remove from heat. The hot broth will finish cooking the noodles without overcooking them. Meanwhile, peel one of the boiled eggs.

Pour the noodles and the broth into a noodle bowl. Place an American Cheese single over the noodles and use the fork to stir in the cheese until it’s all melted and incorporated.

Add the chorizo to the ramen bowl.

Slice the egg in half at its equator and place the halves (yolk side up) in the ramen bowl. Then top the Mexican Chorizo Instant Ramen with a small handful of cilantro leaves.

To finish off the Mexican Chorizo Ramen, sprinkle Tajín over the egg halves.

And that’s it! If you want to add a little extra veg, add a small handful of thawed corn. So simple, it’s a great way to mix up the flavors and create something new out of a package of Instant Ramen Noodles.

I hope you give this recipe for Mexican Chorizo Instant Ramen a try, it’s a super easy, no-brainer for a quick-to-make weeknight dinner. Thanks for joining me today, take care and be well. xo Kelly
