Pho Style Ramen

I'm a big fan of Pho. There is an amazing Vietnamese coffee house in Ft. Worth Texas called Lieu's which not only has nom-alicious iced coffee but, of course, excellent Pho. If you don't know, pho is a noodle soup dish (usually rice noodles) with all kinds of spicy fun stuff you can put in it, like bean sprouts, cilantro, basil, jalapenos, etc.
I made some 'fake' pho for lunch. I call it Poor Girl's Pho. Because I'm a girl.


Poor Girl's Pho
serves 1
1 pkg dry ramen (i used Chicken flavor)
1 egg (optional)
1/4 lb ground beef
A handful of cilantro, thinly sliced jalapenos

In a skillet, brown ground beef and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Boil 1.5-2 cups water, add dry noodles (without flavor packet). Cook for a minute or two, stirring to separate noodles. Add flavor packet, stir.
Drop a whole egg into the middle and let simmer until cooked (I like mine with the yolk runny, but you can 'scramble' it by stirring it a little while it cooks).
Serve noodles along with a plate of 'toppings' - the beef, cilantro and jalapenos.
Rooster sauce is always nice too.
