HOW TO MAKE VIETNAMESE EGGS STIR FRY RAMEN NOODLES | MÌ XÀO TRỨNG

Noodles of all kinds are common breakfasts in Viet Nam. Noodles are light enough to digest early in the morning, but also full enough to keep you going until lunch. Probably one of the easiest of my dishes is Vietnamese eggs stir fry ramen noodles.

This dish will require a few more minutes to make than a bowl of Top Ramen but will be so much healthier without the added MSG and preservatives. And because you’ll be adding in eggs and greens, you’ll get more food as well. When my son is lazy, he’ll always resort to a package of Top Ramen. I don’t argue that it’s a fast meal. But I know he’s not getting enough nutrients. And you can probably make this with ingredients already in your kitchen.

For this dish, I’m using regular chicken-flavored Top Ramen from Costco. Any Ramen noodle will do just fine, though. I always have eggs in my kitchen—as I assume most American kitchens do as well. I only used two eggs for a single dish. You can, of course, add or subtract eggs according to your preference.

You can find choy sum at an Asian supermarket. Bok choy can also be used as an alternative. The exact list of ingredients and instructions for this dish is below.

Notes

I have a batch of fried red onion always on hand in my kitchen, but you can find it at most Asian supermarkets. You will only need the Ramen noodles; discard the packet of seasoning that comes with it. If you don’t have chicken seasoning, however, you can use the packet’s seasoning as an alternative.
