Enlightened Ramen of the Wandering Sage
"Soup so deep, your ancestors will text you back."
Ingredients
- ◆1 brick of humble instant ramen (the $0.39 monk variety)
- ◆1 egg, soft-boiled with intention
- ◆2 cloves garlic, minced like grudges you've finally let go
- ◆1 tbsp miso, aged longer than your last grudge
- ◆Sesame oil, drizzled like blessings
- ◆Scallions, sliced thin as the line between genius and chaos
Method
- 1Boil 2 cups of water. Stare into it. Acknowledge that you, too, are mostly water.
- 2Add miso and garlic. Whisper your goals. Do NOT skip this — the broth listens.
- 3Drop in the noodles. Set a 3-minute timer. Use those minutes to forgive someone.
- 4Plate it. Crown with the egg. Shower with scallions. Eat slowly. You have arrived.
✨ A bowl of ramen at midnight has solved more problems than three years of advice.
