Ingredients

• 8 oz. egg noodles or your choice of noodles

• 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional, for spice)
• Salt, to taste
• Water, for boiling

How to Make Soy Sauce Noodles with Soft-Boiled Eggs

1. Start by boiling water in a medium pot over high heat. Once boiling, add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 4-6 minutes.
2. In the last 3 minutes of cooking the noodles, add the eggs gently into the pot. This will allow them to cook and become soft-boiled.
3. Once the noodles and eggs are cooked, carefully remove the eggs and place them in a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain the noodles and set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles with soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss well to ensure all the noodles are coated.
5. Peel the soft-boiled eggs and slice them in half. Place the noodles in serving bowls and top each with the halved eggs.
6. Garnish with sliced green onions and drizzle with chili oil if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• For perfectly soft-boiled eggs, aim for 6-7 minutes in boiling water.
• Use high-quality soy sauce for the best flavor; consider trying a dark soy sauce for a richer color.
• Adjust the amount of soy sauce based on your personal taste preferences.
• If you prefer your noodles a bit saucier, add a splash of water or broth to the noodle mixture.

Easy Variations

• Substitute egg noodles with rice noodles or whole wheat noodles for a different texture.
• Add vegetables such as bok choy, bell peppers, or snap peas for added nutrition and crunch.
• Incorporate protein like shredded chicken, tofu, or shrimp to make it a heartier meal.
• Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed dumplings or potstickers for a delightful side dish.
• A fresh cucumber salad dressed with rice vinegar for a refreshing contrast.
• Miso soup to start your meal with a warm, comforting bowl.
• Pickled vegetables for a tangy crunch.
