How to Make Ramen with Soft-Boiled Egg and Sliced Meat
- In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- While the broth is heating, bring a separate small pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled texture. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath for a few minutes to cool, then peel and set aside.
- Add the sliced pork to the simmering broth and cook for about 3-4 minutes until heated through. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, usually around 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- To serve, divide the noodles between two bowls. Ladle the broth and sliced pork over the noodles.
- Slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and place on top of each bowl. Garnish with sliced green onions and any additional toppings you prefer.
Tips for the Best Results
- For the perfect soft-boiled egg, adjust the cooking time based on your preference for doneness.
- Use fresh ramen noodles for the best texture, but dried noodles will work just fine in a pinch.
- Enhance the broth with additional flavors by adding a splash of mirin or a pinch of chili flakes if you like some heat.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the pork for chicken, tofu, or beef, depending on your dietary preferences.
- Add vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Experiment with different broths, such as miso or tonkotsu, for varied tastes.
What to Serve With It
- A side of gyoza or dumplings for a delightful appetizer.
- A fresh cucumber salad to add a refreshing crunch.
- Steamed edamame sprinkled with sea salt as a simple snack.
