A quick and comforting creamy ramen recipe with a perfectly soft boiled egg, ideal for busy college nights or any time you need a cozy meal in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pack instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet or save for another use)
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or dairy alternative
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated or ground ginger (optional)
  • 2 large eggs (soft boiled)
  • 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional toppings: toasted seaweed, chili flakes, sautéed mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil (about 6 cups or 1.5 liters). Carefully lower 2 large eggs into the water using a spoon. Set a timer for exactly 7 minutes for a perfect creamy yolk.
  2. Prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and ice cubes. Once the timer rings, transfer the eggs immediately to the ice bath to halt the cooking process. Let them sit for about 5 minutes.
  3. In a separate medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, letting it infuse for 2 minutes over medium heat.
  4. Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes) until tender but still springy.
  5. Lower heat to medium-low. Stir in 1/2 cup milk and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Let the broth warm through but do not boil to keep the creaminess smooth and prevent curdling.
  6. Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface, peel under running water for easier removal, and slice them in half lengthwise.
  7. Pour the creamy ramen broth and noodles into your favorite bowl. Nestle the soft boiled egg halves on top. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and drizzle 1 teaspoon sesame oil over everything.
  8. Add optional toppings like chili flakes or toasted seaweed if desired.
  9. Serve immediately while the broth is warm and the egg yolk is silky.

Notes

Use an ice bath immediately after boiling eggs to stop cooking and achieve the perfect creamy yolk. Stir milk in gently over medium-low heat to avoid curdling. Discard instant ramen seasoning packets to prevent overpowering saltiness. Store broth and noodles separately to avoid soggy noodles when reheating.
