Ingredients

  • 8 ounces ramen noodles
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 8 ounces firm tofu, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

How to Make Sesame Noodles with Soft-Boiled Egg

  1. Start by boiling a pot of water. Once boiling, add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually about 3-4 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for a soft center. Remove the eggs, place them in an ice bath, and let cool before peeling.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for added crunch.
  4. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender but still vibrant. Stir in the green onions.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey or maple syrup. Pour this mixture over the cooked noodles and toss to combine.
  6. Plate the noodles topped with the sautéed vegetables and tofu. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra flavor, marinate the tofu in soy sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you prefer your vegetables crisper, add the broccoli in the last minute of noodle cooking time.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding more or less honey or maple syrup to taste.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the broccoli for sugar snap peas or bell peppers for a different crunch.
  • Use soba noodles or udon noodles instead of ramen for a unique twist.
  • Add some heat with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha on top.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of edamame sprinkled with sea salt.
  • A light cucumber salad dressed with rice vinegar.
  • Crispy spring rolls filled with vegetables or shrimp.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave for about 1-2 minutes or stir-fry on a skillet with a splash of water to bring back moisture.
