Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz (115 g) fresh or dried ramen noodles
  • 4 cups (950 ml) chicken or vegetable broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk or heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp miso paste (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 large soft-boiled eggs
  • Optional toppings: toasted nori strips, sesame seeds, chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the soft-boiled eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully add 2 large eggs and cook for exactly 6 minutes for a slightly runny yolk. Remove eggs and plunge immediately into ice water to stop cooking. Peel once cool and set aside.
  2. Make the broth: In a medium pot, heat 1 tsp sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add broth and flavorings: Pour in 4 cups (950 ml) chicken or vegetable broth. Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp miso paste (if using). Whisk until miso is fully dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add creaminess: Slowly stir in 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk or heavy cream. Keep heat low so the broth stays silky without boiling aggressively.
  5. Cook the noodles: Add ramen noodles directly into the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until tender but still springy. Stir gently to prevent clumping.
  6. Check seasoning: Taste the broth and adjust soy sauce or add a pinch of salt if needed. The broth should be creamy, slightly savory with a hint of sweetness from the coconut milk or cream.
  7. Assemble and serve: Ladle noodles and broth into bowls. Halve soft-boiled eggs and place on top. Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted nori strips, sesame seeds, and chili flakes if desired.

Notes

Use a timer to cook eggs exactly 6 minutes for perfect soft yolks. Stir noodles gently to avoid clumping. Add cream or coconut milk off the boil to prevent curdling. For vegan version, use vegetable broth, coconut milk, and substitute eggs with marinated tofu cubes.
