This is nicely spicy. David liked it enough to ask me to make notes so I could make it again for him. I think you can add whatever you like to this soup. It’s the Lady Sauce that makes it yummy with the spice.

1 teaspoon Lady Sauce
2 cups water
1 package ramen noodles
spice packet or chicken base
1/2 cup bean sprouts
1 egg
drizzle of toasted sesame oil
chopped scallions

nn a small saucepan heat the Lady Sauce for a minute or so just to “cook” it a little. Add the water and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spice packet or the chicken base and stir to combine. Add the bean sprouts. Drain the excess white from an egg and add the egg careful to the hot soup. Bring the noodles over the egg and let sit for a minute. Drizzle with a bit of the sesame oil. Add some chopped scallions for a garnish and serve. Serving Size: 1

Notes:

The Lady Sauce is Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp Sauce which I bought from Amazon after reading about it on http://www.thewoksoflife.com blog. Her family called it Lady Sauce because of the women on the label. It seems the Chinese translation of this sauce is Godmother.
