Surly Style Ramen - Not for the faint of tongue
2 cups water
1 packet of Maggi Mee curry flavour
2 packets of chilli sauce
Ground black pepper
1 chicken thigh, chopped
1 egg
Buttercup lettuce
2 red chilli padi (Bird's Eye Chili/Thai Chili)
Fried shallots
Steps
1) Boil the water vigorously in a pot over high heat. Add the chilli sauce, pepper and Maggi flavouring; whisk well. Add the chicken and boil for 2 minutes. Break the egg directly into the bowl and stir the white slightly with chopsticks to break it. Do not break the yolk.
2) Add the noodles and lettuce. Stir the noodles until they soften and come apart, yet remain springy when lifted from the broth (it's a skill...). Place into a serving bowl and garnish with chilli padi and shallots.
This is an excellent - excellent hang over cure. On my 21st birthday, I was so totally hung over it wasn't even funny, only to come home and sober up with this ultra spicy ramen dish and a serving of bad American-remixed horror flick: the Ring. It was either the spice or the bad acting that scared the hang over away, regardless, it was awesome.
You can also add spring onion slices and beansprouts to this recipe if you happen to have them, I didn't.
