Satisfying Ramen with Soft-Boiled Eggs – A Flavorful and Comforting Meal
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 packs (3 oz each) instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 6 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1 tbsp miso paste
- 4 green onions, sliced
- Optional toppings: sliced mushrooms, bean sprouts, seaweed, corn, or any desired vegetables
Instructions
- Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook them for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled consistency. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs and set them aside.
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook until fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the chicken broth into the pot, and stir in the soy sauce, mirin, and miso paste. Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes to develop the flavors.
- Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and divide them among four serving bowls.
- Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids, and then ladle the broth over the noodles in each bowl.
- Slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and place two halves in each bowl of ramen. Garnish with sliced green onions and any desired toppings.
