Ingredients
- 8 ounces ramen noodles
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 8 ounces firm tofu, cubed
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 cups broccoli florets

- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

How to Make Sesame Noodles with Soft-Boiled Egg
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
