• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup soy sauce (for that umami punch)
• 1/4 cup sesame oil (adds a nutty richness)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced (fragrant and savory)
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced (a little zing for balance)
• 2 green onions, sliced (adds fresh color and crunch)

How to Make Egg Ramen Boil (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Cook the Ramen

Start by boiling your ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside—don’t forget to leave out the seasoning packets, as we’re making our own sauce!

Step 2: Boil the Eggs

In the same large pot, bring water to a boil and gently add the eggs. Let them cook for 7-8 minutes for that ideal soft-boiled consistency. Remove the eggs from the pot and place them in cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel them and set them aside.

Step 3: Cook the Broccoli

While the eggs cool, use the same pot to boil the broccoli until it’s tender (about 3-4 minutes). Drain and set aside.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

In a skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Pour in the soy sauce and stir to combine. The smell when this sauce starts to simmer—absolutely incredible!

Step 5: Toss the Noodles

Now, toss your cooked ramen noodles and broccoli into the skillet with the sauce. Make sure everything is well-coated. Add the sliced green onions for that fresh, crunchy finish.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Place the noodles into bowls and top with the peeled, soft-boiled eggs. Want a little heat? Sprinkle some chili flakes on top for extra spice!

Tips for Perfect Ramen

• Egg consistency: If you prefer your eggs runnier, cook them for 6 minutes. For a firmer yolk, go for 9 minutes.
• Customizable veggies: You can easily swap broccoli for spinach, bok choy, or even snap peas.
• Extra protein: Want more protein? Add tofu or leftover shredded chicken to the mix.

What to Serve With Egg Ramen Boil

This dish is hearty on its own, but if you’re looking for something extra, a side of cucumber salad or pickled vegetables would add a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors. You could also serve it with a hot cup of green tea or iced matcha for a complete meal.

Storage Instructions

Got leftovers? Store your ramen in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, you may want to add a splash of soy sauce or a little broth to refresh the noodles. The eggs can be stored separately and added when serving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I make this dish gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just substitute the ramen noodles for your favorite gluten-free noodles and use tamari instead of soy sauce.

How do I prevent my noodles from becoming too soggy?

The key is not to overcook them in the initial boiling stage. Be sure to drain the noodles immediately once they’re cooked and toss them in the sauce quickly.

Can I use another type of oil?

Yes! While sesame oil adds a rich flavor, you could also use olive oil or avocado oil if you prefer a more neutral taste.
