Reckon it'd be pretty good if the egg were cooked separately and added on top at the end. If there's leftover fat/stock from cooking meat I also add it to ramen but I do filter it first so it doesn't look like that, egg sticking to the fats definitely attributed to the grainy look (edit* just scrolled down and saw PamanZ3ro giving a clearer guide haha, happy cooking! may it turn out yummy next time)
I’ll be straight up dude…all meat based broth is what you could call “bone broth.” What makes it any kind of healthier is making it at home and boiling enough bones for a long enough time to get all the collagen and mineral content you can. “Bone broth” is such an odd statement to me, because all chicken, beef, turkey, fish, whatever else kind of animal protein stock you can make is all made with bones and maybe less ideal pieces of meat. It’s all bone broth unless it’s veggie broth.
I make something pretty similar for my son and.....it never looks like this.
What did you do with the egg???
For future reference.
Put your noodles and veg in a pan and boil until cooked (I'm lazy and use packet broth or some times plain water and then we put soy sauce or whatever on it after )
Chuck in some precooked meat if that's your thing or don't whatever.
Scramble an egg in a cup.
Lower the water temp so it's not actively bubbling like fucking crazy and push all the ingredients to the sides of the pan.
Pour your egg into the middle.
Don't fucking touch it.
When the eggs cooked through give the whole lot a quick stir to break the egg up and distribute it.
Put in bowl.
My son prefers the broth in a cup and he just drinks it but if you leave in the bowl it's like a poor man's ramen 😂
What I do, I usually start boiling the water with some peas, carrots, sometimes other veggies. Add your spices/flavoring (personal favorite is soy sauce, garlic, onion, and ginger). I'm not beyond using canned stuff and powdered stuff. Sometimes, especially if I have a cold, I throw in hot sauce of some kind. Get your boil on, throw in the noodles, get them to your desired noodle-eyness (sticking by my ridiculous word) put it into your bowl, then fry the egg and put it on top. I usually leave the egg wee bit runny, but then when the yolk breaks into the ramen, just adds a bit to the flavor.
Idea was solid, the execution was stupid. Next time, make the broth separate and strain it. Beat the egg like you were going to make scrambled eggs and then slowly pour it into boiling broth. Once those things are done, then add your noodles and veg. If you want the carrots to cook in the broth then cut them up and add them to the boiling broth (post straining, pre-egg).
Thanks! I'll do that next time. The irony is I'm not bad at cooking, but I had the bones from a chicken I cooked last night and was like 'sure why not try this from my brain'
I seriously appreciate the advice. I don't like soup
That's the trap. When you can cook, you get all these fancypants ideas but then the food doesn't behave and you just get a mess. On the pkus side, if it's just food for you, who gives a shit, slop it up bud. The next one will be a masterpiece
Why do not you make chicken soup. In my country we do it like this. You buy whole chicken. Use most of useful meat for oven or something. Usually back of chicken is left and neck, maybe a big of breast. Put that into big pot. Add salt, pepper, a little bit of: parsley, garlic, one big (whole) onion, water, white carrot, celery. You cook it for lowest setting for many hours (my step mother would do it over night even). You can strain it then, keep the meat, so you get nice yellow soup (in enlish they call it stock i think, perfectly eatable), then you add more carrots, new onion. You boil it, so not low but high setting. Last few minutes you drop small pasta. Sounds like a lot but is is actually very easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpQnN7POUE8
tbh I do it without straining. I do not need clear soup. It is just estetics. And I would never use assian instant nuddles like that. I think they are just not for this, Balkan style chicken soup. They are great for asian dishes but here I think they are too starchy or something.
Reminds me of when I made teriyaki lentils. The lentils looked like crap and looked nothing like the pictures in the recipe. It still tasted pretty good, and people at my church loved it.
Like the other comment said good idea bad execution, I get what you were going for though, hope it turns out better if you follow that comments advice.
You needed to strain the bones and skim the scum off the top of the boiling broth dude. THEN you can add your veggies and lastly noodles so they aren’t overcooked
Would be ok if the color was better. Like other commenter said, chopped carrot helps with that. Green seasoning like thyme. Maybe tumeric to make it not so pale. You did not fuck up that bad, you just failed to add anything that isn't grey.
It’s the egg making it look gross, this happened to my ramen the other day too. I knew I was adding the egg incorrectly but fam I just didn’t care. But yeah egg+mozzarella ramen looked disgusting but was delicious. I support you comrade 🫡
you need to strain the broth, whole carrots wont cook all the way through if you're going to use them cut them small to medium size and make chicken soup then when you serve it gently cook the noodles just to soften them before eating, it's not a bad idea just executed poorly
It would be great if you didn't add egg. Next time either mix the egg with a bit of flour and add at the end to simmering browth skipping the noodles, or boil the egg and add slices to the soup
Man, you were so close to making a kickass homemade poor man's ramen bowl.
You just needed to add a spoon of miso paste or soy sauce to the broth! Plus anything you have at home that you've seen added to ramen in restaurants (corn, boiled egg on top of the egg added to broth, sesame seeds, potato, mushrooms, bean sprouts, etc).
Probably tastes better than it looks, at least from the ingredients you mentioned. In my home country they sometimes make egg soup for breakfast, which is mostly just chicken broth, and the eggs are cooked in the broth, and the eggs should ideally have a runny yolk. It's super simple but actually pretty tasty.
add some ginger and sesame oil, a bit of soy and pepper. don't make the egg curdy like that, keep it in nice long strands so it doesn't look too much like upchuck.
u/Fhujeth, your food is indeed stupid and it fits our subreddit!
What were you thinking mate?
Healthy over looks. Bone broth is good for you, so is egg. I'll be honest, it doesn't taste bad. But it doesn't taste good either.
Kind of like oatmeal without any sugar or toppings?
It's topped with shame
Shame is one of the best spices. Good job
OP this deserves a r/kitchencels post at this point
There are just...so many other ways to eat healthy lmao

It's one of the latest health fads. Give it a year or two and people will be calling it broth again.

Whole thing takes less than ten minutes.
When have ramen noodles been considered good for you?
It's the broth really...
Sure. But just cause something is healthy, like a tomato, doesn’t mean you’re eating healthy by putting it on a burger.
My daughter thought she could add soup to her mashed potatoes....youll be fine
Now don't beat yourself up, there's potential.

Did you strain the broth at all?
OP’s thoughts are what happens when a nightmare pushes a fart and shits itself.

Better luck next time 😂

Ramen is the perfect addition to a soup to make it not soup
Adding to this. Or you can just do an over easy egg on top. Or both!
Also, for the carrots, try cutting in strips or better yet, just use a peeler to slice them thin amd throw them in raw or in the broth.
No the carrots should go in even before chicken to give all nutrients and taste to the broth
This is egg drop soup, right?
Yeah basically
Should have cut the carrot up and you will have been fine
I'm a lil lazy.
Lazy?! You took the time to boil bones into broth!!
The fire did the work
Yeah, thats the one issue here. Big carrot.
I'm not sure why I laughed. Maybe it was just the presentation. Have a good meal!
It tastes as much as it looks.
I dunno about chicken bone broth....

That was the goal but realized I don't have a strainer...

The ramen looks both undercooked and overcooked at the same time. Impressive.
Thank you
Sounded better in your mind? You got exactly what I would have imagined
lowk sounds good to me, is a matter of presentation
Thanks bro
Soft boiled egg and canned corn instead with a kraft single, use half the ramen packet with the bone broth and you got something there
So add Kraft singles ..
Never had cheese in ramen? You could use nicer ones too. Could easily turn it into a street corn ramen or Korean cheese corn.
Que atrocidade abissal...quase vi o Nyarlathotep ali.
Looks like ramen noodles mixed with vomit.
Uhm so does it *taste* good?
It was ok. Texture was bad. I ate till I was full. Rest can go to the wild animals
Chicken bones?
You should really scoop the bone scum off of the broth before you eat it 🤢
But nutrition
you're a tree?
Well I prefer the term branched out but yeah.
i can feed you bone meal now just like in minecraft
Put all the ingredients in a pot and then stir slowly until it's in the toilet.
Looks like puke
Is that a carrot?
It really is... Just look at how crazy my reddit is
Bruh, that looks like cream of wheat + ramen
I just got a gum graft and was feeling really really sad that I can't have solid foods right now... but this made me feel a lot better so thank you
Reminds me of when I made teriyaki lentils. The lentils looked like crap and looked nothing like the pictures in the recipe. It still tasted pretty good, and people at my church loved it.
My gast is flabbered, and my appetite is disappointed. 😞
I think you were going for ramen. But you got ramen at home
Add a few tears for acidity and I’ll have a bowl. 🥣
Or, like, you could make something closer to fancy ramen: you have broth and noodles. Add a soft-boiled egg. Add some chili oil. Maybe not carrots.
Pan fry or soft boil the eggs and shred or slice the carrots and this would've been close to a simple chicken ramen.
Just a difference in technique but I doubt it tasted bad.
Like the other comment said good idea bad execution, I get what you were going for though, hope it turns out better if you follow that comments advice.
You needed to strain the bones and skim the scum off the top of the boiling broth dude. THEN you can add your veggies and lastly noodles so they aren’t overcooked
I guess the execution wasn’t what you had in mind exactly
These posts are my favorite in this sub. Hopefully it still tastes good OP.
It was fine... I didn't eat much of it. Gonna get carry out I think.
Would be ok if the color was better. Like other commenter said, chopped carrot helps with that. Green seasoning like thyme. Maybe tumeric to make it not so pale. You did not fuck up that bad, you just failed to add anything that isn't grey.

I’m willing to bet it sounded equally as bad and you live by The Nile
How many days did you cook the noodles for?🤭
2 minutes
you need to strain the broth, whole carrots wont cook all the way through if you're going to use them cut them small to medium size and make chicken soup then when you serve it gently cook the noodles just to soften them before eating, it's not a bad idea just executed poorly
I think you should google Thupka. That's a really great
Tibetian dish I think which is close to the monstrosity you cooked
What happened to the egg, please, no, you didnt just chuck it in and mash it all about... why not friend egg on top?
Dollar store ramen right here
It would be great if you didn't add egg. Next time either mix the egg with a bit of flour and add at the end to simmering browth skipping the noodles, or boil the egg and add slices to the soup
I thought those were crab sticks at first, now that sounds like a good idea.
All of these things make a very good soup. Sadly the order and execution is the important part here.
Did you ... vomit it back in the plate before photo ?
What exactly did it sound like? 👀
Were u trying to make a spread at home and only had nutritional ingredients ?
Man, you were so close to making a kickass homemade poor man's ramen bowl.
You just needed to add a spoon of miso paste or soy sauce to the broth! Plus anything you have at home that you've seen added to ramen in restaurants (corn, boiled egg on top of the egg added to broth, sesame seeds, potato, mushrooms, bean sprouts, etc).
Cat vomit (now with noodles!)

.. I don't know about you guys, but... i would eat it.
Noodles look overcooked
Lemme suck on that bone
add some ginger and sesame oil, a bit of soy and pepper. don't make the egg curdy like that, keep it in nice long strands so it doesn't look too much like upchuck.
God knows I've had worse.
Ew enough said
