My go-to late night dinner after working a busy shift in a kitchen. Packet ramen with just a few extra ingredients and you've got yourself a very tasty dinner in under 5 minutes. Quick, easy and cheap!
Ingredients
- 130g pkt Shin Ramen Black
- ½ cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 spring onion, sliced, white and green parts separated
- chilli crisp, to serve
Directions
Place 500ml water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Empty all the seasoning packets from the ramen noodles packet into the water along with the peanut butter. Stir to combine until water comes to a simmer.
- Add noodles and cook for 45 seconds, then stir to break up the noodles a little. Stir in the chicken and spring onion whites.
- Gradually add the egg, stirring constantly until incorporated then take off the heat.
- Stir through half of the spring onion greens, then transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with remaining spring onion and drizzle with some chilli crisp.

Recipe notes
Ramen
You can use any ramen brand or flavour, but I really like the Shin Ramen Black for this recipe as it has a rich broth.
Substitutions
You could use a tin of seafood in place of the chicken if you prefer, or some finely sliced shitake mushrooms to keep this vegetarian.
Spice level
It does have a bit of spice to it, however, the peanut butter tones it down a bit. You can add less of the spice packet or remove altogether if you don't like spice.
Peanut butter
Go for crunchy peanut butter to add some extra texture to the dish.
