Ingredients

  • 2 packages instant ramen noodles
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups leafy greens (such as spinach or bok choy)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 green onions

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the 2 eggs in and cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled yolk. Remove and place in ice water to stop cooking.

  2. 2

    In a large pot, bring the 4 cups broth and 2 tbsp soy sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Add the 2 packages of ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets) and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the 4 cups leafy greens and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the 1 tsp sesame oil.

  4. 4

    Peel the eggs and slice in half. Divide the ramen and broth between two bowls, top each with an egg and sliced green onions. Serve hot.

  5. 5

    For extra flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of chili flakes to the broth before serving.
