Step 1
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add eggs and cook 6 minutes until soft-boiled, whites set but yolks still runny.
Step 2
In the same pot, add beef broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon until no pink remains, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add rice noodles directly to the broth. Stir and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in chili flakes. Taste and adjust soy sauce as needed for depth.
Step 6
Ladle soup into bowls. Peel soft-boiled eggs and halve them, nestle into each bowl, and serve hot.
