Ingredients

2 slices bacon
4 fresh Shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 green onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 egg
1 pack (100g) Nissin Raoh Tonkotsu Flavor Ramen (use noodles and seasoning packet)
2 cups (300ml) water
1 tablespoon (15g) heavy cream
¼ teaspoon (1g) toasted sesame oil

In a medium non-stick sauté pan set over medium heat, add the slices of bacon and cook until browned and crispy, about 5 - 6 minutes. Set aside, reserving the rendered fat in the pan.
Place the pan back on the heat and add sliced mushrooms and green onions, sauté until soft, about 3 - 4 minutes. Once the mushrooms are softened, add in the garlic to cook for a minute until fragrant. Set aside.
Add more oil to the pan if needed, and fry the egg to your liking. I recommend sunny side up, which I fry for 2 - 3 minutes.
To the pan add water and scrape up any leftover fond and flavor. Cook ramen according to package directions and add the seasoning packets. Once finished stir in heavy cream.
To serve, top creamy ramen with bacon, fried egg, mushrooms, green onion, and a light drizzle of toasted sesame oil. Serve and enjoy.
