Print Recipe

A quick and easy ramen recipe featuring a flavorful garlic-chili crisp broth topped with perfectly soft boiled eggs, delivering a comforting and spicy meal in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp (e.g., Momofuku or Lao Gan Ma)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (960 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 large soft boiled eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • Optional toppings: toasted sesame seeds, nori strips, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Carefully lower 2 large eggs into the water using a slotted spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for a perfect jammy yolk. Transfer eggs immediately to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking. Peel gently and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups (960 ml) of chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and keep warm on low.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil (like canola or vegetable) in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cloves finely minced garlic and cook until fragrant and just golden, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons chili crisp into the garlic, mixing well to combine flavors. Let it sizzle for 30 seconds, then pour the mixture into the simmering broth and stir.
  5. Cook 4 ounces (115 g) of ramen noodles according to package instructions until just tender (usually 3-4 minutes). Drain and divide into serving bowls.
  6. Pour the hot, flavorful broth over the noodles. Slice the soft boiled eggs in half gently and place on top. Drizzle 1 teaspoon sesame oil over the bowl and garnish with sliced green onions and optional toppings like toasted sesame seeds or nori strips.
  7. Give the bowl a gentle stir to mix some chili crisp into the noodles, then serve immediately while warm and aromatic.

Notes

For perfect soft boiled eggs, boil for exactly 6 minutes then immediately transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes. Avoid burning garlic by cooking on medium-low heat and stirring constantly. Cook noodles just before assembling to prevent sogginess. Adjust chili crisp amount to control spice level. Store broth and noodles separately to maintain texture.
