Ingredients

• 8 oz ramen noodles
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
• 1 cup firm tofu, cubed
• 3 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 large eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Sesame Noodles with Soft-Boiled Egg

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In the same pot, bring another pot of water to a gentle simmer. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled. Remove and place in an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and set aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add the broccoli and snap peas to the skillet with the tofu. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Pour this sauce over the cooked noodles and toss to coat.
6. Add the noodles to the skillet with the tofu and vegetables. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
7. Serve the sesame noodles in bowls, topping each with a soft-boiled egg, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.

Tips for the Best Results

• For perfectly soft-boiled eggs, adjust the cooking time slightly based on your stove and pot size.
• Use a non-stick skillet for easy tofu flipping and to prevent sticking.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for additional flavor and crunch.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the tofu with grilled chicken or shrimp for a different protein option.
• Use whole wheat or gluten-free noodles to suit dietary preferences.
• Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or crushed peanuts for extra crunch.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed edamame for a protein-packed side.
• A light cucumber salad to complement the flavors.
• Miso soup for a warm and comforting pairing.
