Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins
Total Time 15 minutes mins
- 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
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.
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.
