Ingredients

• 8 ounces of egg noodles (or your favorite noodle type)
• 3 tablespoons of soy sauce

• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
• 2 large eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Soy Sauce Noodles with Soft-Boiled Egg

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. 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-boiled texture. Remove the eggs and place them in an ice bath for at least 5 minutes. Once cooled, gently peel the eggs and set aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce. Toss to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
5. Remove the skillet from heat. Season the noodles with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve the soy sauce noodles in bowls, and slice the soft-boiled eggs in half on top of each serving. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Tips for the Best Results

• For perfectly soft-boiled eggs, avoid overcooking and adjust the boiling time based on your desired level of doneness.
• Use low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer a less salty dish.
• Make sure to rinse the cooked noodles under cold water if you’re not using them immediately to prevent them from sticking together.

Easy Variations

• Add protein such as cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier meal.
• Incorporate vegetables like bok choy, bell peppers, or spinach for added nutrition and flavor.
• Experiment with different sauces like teriyaki or oyster sauce for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed dumplings for an appetizer.
• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Pickled vegetables for a refreshing contrast.
