For us, instant noodles have become a symbol of a poor student diet, but in fact, they can be easily turned into a hearty, quick and quite authentic lunch, if you diversify the ingredients and change the cooking technique.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups (500 ml) broth
• 1 block of instant noodles;
• 2-3 mushrooms;
• a handful of boiled shrimp;
• 2 stalks of green onions (white part);
• a piece (2 cm) of ginger root;
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sweet and sour sauce;
• 1 clove of garlic;
• 1 egg yolk or a whole boiled egg;
• lime juice to taste.

The key to a much healthier and more delicious instant noodle dish is homemade broth. Get rid of the spice bag that came with the noodles and use your own vegetable, chicken, or beef broth.

To make the dish even more flavorful, bring the broth to a boil and put a clove of garlic, peeled ginger and green onion stalks in it. Remove the container from heat, cover and let it brew for 2-3 minutes. Rip out any additives and return the liquid to the fire.

When the broth is bubbling again, add the soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce. Add salt to taste if necessary. Reduce heat and place a block of noodles in the broth. Cover and stop for one minute.

After a while, place the mushrooms and shrimps on the surface. Cover the container again and let them warm up for another minute or a half.

Place the dish in a deep plate and top with raw egg yolk or a boiled egg cut in half. Sprinkle with onions and season with sweet and sour sauce and lime juice.

Sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, nori leaves, or fried tofu can also be great additions.
