Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) spaghetti or soba noodles
  • ½ cup (125 g) creamy natural peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) soy sauce, low sodium if preferred
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) water, to thin the sauce as needed
  • 4 large soft-boiled eggs, room temperature
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Cilantro or fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz (225 g) of noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 7–9 minutes for spaghetti or soba. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Once al dente, drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and cool the noodles. Set aside to drain thoroughly (about 5 minutes).
  2. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower 4 large room-temperature eggs into the water. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for that jammy yolk texture. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking for 3 minutes. Gently peel and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup (125 g) creamy peanut butter, 3 tbsp (45 ml) soy sauce, 2 tbsp (30 ml) toasted sesame oil, 1 tbsp (15 ml) rice vinegar, 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey or maple syrup, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, and ½ tsp chili flakes if using. Whisk together while slowly adding ⅓ cup (80 ml) water until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust water quantity for desired consistency—it should lightly coat the noodles without being runny.
  4. Add the cooled noodles to the bowl with the peanut sauce. Toss gently but thoroughly until each strand is evenly coated. The sauce should cling to the noodles in a glossy, creamy layer.
  5. Divide the noodles into serving bowls. Halve the peeled soft-boiled eggs and nestle them on top. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh herbs if using. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes if you prefer it extra cold.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for even cooking and easier peeling. Add water gradually to the peanut sauce to avoid it becoming watery. Rinse noodles under cold water to stop cooking and cool them. The sauce can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. For vegan version, substitute eggs with avocado or marinated tofu. For gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free noodles.
