  • 3 cups bok choy, chopped
  • 8 oz firm tofu, cubed
  • 8 oz dried ramen noodles or egg noodles

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium-high. Cook ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.

  2. 2

  3. 3

    Cook noodles in boiling salted water until al dente, ~3 minutes. Drain and divide among bowls.

  4. 4

    Simmer broth with tofu and greens for 2 minutes until bok choy is tender.

  5. 5

    Soft-boil 4 eggs in a separate pot, 6–7 minutes, until whites set but yolks jiggle slightly. Peel and halve.

  6. 6

    Ladle broth, beef, tofu, and bok choy over noodles. Top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg. Serve hot.

Tools you’ll need

  • large pot (3–4 quart)
