Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook uncovered until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain.

Stir green beans, ramen noodles, and seasoning packet included in the package into the pot. Cook until noodles soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in enoki mushrooms; simmer until tender, about 2 minutes. Add scallions; cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
