Ingredients

Scale
  • 85g (3 oz) ramen noodles, fresh or dried
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chili crisp (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1–2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 egg per serving, soft-boiled to a jammy center
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • Optional add-ins: handful of baby spinach or bok choy, cooked shrimp or tofu for protein

Instructions

  1. Prepare the jammy egg: Fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a gentle boil. Carefully lower the egg(s) into the water using a slotted spoon. Set your timer for exactly 6 minutes.
  2. While the egg cooks, boil the ramen noodles: In another pot, bring water to a boil and add noodles. Cook according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes for fresh, 4-5 minutes for dried). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1-2 tablespoons chili crisp (adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, and the minced garlic clove. Set aside.
  4. Drain noodles: Once cooked, drain the noodles well and immediately transfer them to the bowl with the sauce. Toss gently but thoroughly so every strand is coated.
  5. Cool the eggs: When the timer goes off, transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Let cool for at least 2 minutes before peeling carefully.
  6. Assemble the bowl: Place the sauced noodles in a serving bowl. Slice or halve the jammy egg and nestle it on top. Sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over everything.
  7. Optional step: If using greens, toss a handful into the hot noodles right before serving to wilt slightly. Add cooked protein if desired.

Notes

Cook eggs gently for exactly 6 minutes and immediately place in ice water for perfect jammy yolks. Add chili crisp gradually to control heat. Toss noodles in sauce off heat to preserve sesame oil aroma. Reserve some noodle water to loosen sauce if needed. Fresh noodles preferred for texture but dried works fine.
