  • Quick to Prepare: Ready in just 20 minutes!
  • Flavorful Broth: A rich, spicy broth that warms your soul.
  • Customizable: Add your favorite toppings for a personal touch.
  • Comfort Food: A deliciously satisfying meal in a bowl.
  • Budget-Friendly: Simple ingredients that won’t break the bank.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 packs of ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packets)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Optional: extra sriracha for serving
  • Optional: sliced cooked chicken or tofu for added protein

How to Make Spicy Ramen with Soft-Boiled Egg

  1. Begin by soft-boiling the eggs. In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for a soft center. Remove the eggs and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  2. In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken broth, soy sauce, and sriracha. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, typically about 3-4 minutes until tender.
  4. While the noodles are cooking, peel the soft-boiled eggs and slice them in half.
  5. Once the noodles are done, divide them between two bowls. Pour the hot broth over the noodles and top with the sliced soft-boiled eggs and green onions.
  6. Serve immediately with extra sriracha on the side for those who like it spicier!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure to not overcook the eggs; they should have a slight jiggle when you remove them from the pot.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth if you prefer a less salty dish.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or mushrooms to the broth for additional nutrients and texture.

Easy Variations

  • For a vegetarian option, replace chicken broth with vegetable broth and add tofu.
  • Spice it up further with chili oil or garlic chili paste.
  • Add fresh veggies such as bean sprouts or shredded carrots for crunch.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of steamed dumplings for a complete meal.
  • Crispy spring rolls for a delightful crunch.
  • A simple salad with sesame dressing to balance out the meal.

Storage and Reheating

This ramen is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the broth and noodles separately. The broth can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding fresh noodles if desired, as reheating cooked noodles can make them mushy.
