Servings 1

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3 oz package instant ramen noodles (flavor packet discarded)
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • ½ head bok choy or handful of spinach
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • Chili sauce optional

Instructions
 

  • Boil egg for 6-7 minutes for a soft yolk. Transfer to ice water, then peel.
  • In a dry skillet, toast sesame seeds over medium-low heat for 1-2 mins until golden. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, bring broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil to a simmer.
  • Add noodles, cook for 2 mins. Add bok choy and white parts of green onions. Cook 1-2 mins more.
  • Pour noodles and broth into a bowl. Top with halved egg, green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and chili sauce if desired.

Notes

The Egg: 6 minutes for a very runny yolk, 7 minutes for a perfect jammy yolk. The ice water bath is crucial for easy peeling.
Broth Boost: For a richer broth, add a 1 inch piece of peeled ginger and a smashed garlic clove to the broth while it simmers, then remove before adding noodles.
Customize It: Add sliced mushrooms, corn, tofu, or a spoonful of miso paste to make it your own.
