Corn & Sausage Ramen


Absolutely nothing about this dish makes it ramen except for the general concept of broth on noodles with a soft boiled egg on the side. It is a delicious fusion dish none the less!

Ingredients

3/4 lb Hot Italian Sausage
1/2 Onion
1-2 cloves minced garlic
1 Tbsp flour
1 14.5 oz. can Chicken Broth (low sodium) 
1 15 oz can Sweet & Crisp Corn (drained) 
Milk
Cream
Italian Seasoning
Salt 
Pepper
Parsely
2 Eggs
1 pack of ramen noodles (seasoning packet discarded) or 1 package curly soba noodles 

Instructions

Corn & Sausage Broth 
  1. Brown italian sausage in the bottom of a medium sauce pan on medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent. *You can absolutely skip the onions and garlic and add "a good shake" of onion and garlic powder later if you don't have these ingredients on hand. 
  2. Add flour and stir to combine cooking an additional 1-2 minutes. 
  3. Add chicken stock and cook until boiling. **Add just a bit of the chicken stock and first and use a wooden spoon to scrape the sausage from the bottom of the pan. 
  4. Add corn. 
  5. Fill chicken broth can mostly with milk leaving room for about a 1/4 cup cream. Reduce the temperature to medium/medium low and add the milk and cream mixture. Do not boil this mixture but instead let it cook, stirring often, while you finish the remaining ingredients- about 5-10 ish minutes 🤷‍♂️. 

Soft Boiled Eggs
  1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil with enough water to cover two eggs. 
  2. When the water comes to a boil, reduce it to a simmer and add 2 eggs.  
  3. Simmer for 7 minutes. 
  4. Remove from the simmering water and immediately put under cold water to cool. 

Noodles
  1. Cook according to package directions.

To Assemble

Split the noodles between two bowls. Ladle corn, sausage and broth over top of the noodles. Peel and slice the eggs and top the dish. Fresh parsley adds a pretty garnish.
