Cook
Cook the 1 packet of instant ramen according to the package instructions, but use slightly less water than recommended to keep the broth concentrated and flavorful.

Upgrade
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, crack the 1 large egg directly into the bubbling broth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce. Top with spring onions, sesame seeds, and chilli crisp.
Slop Notes
Butter and sesame oil are the key upgrades. The egg is non negotiable.
