A quick and comforting ramen noodle stir-fry topped with a perfectly cooked soft boiled egg, delivering a savory, satisfying meal in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (about 3 oz/85g each)
  • 2 large soft boiled eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or grapeseed)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced thin
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (naturally brewed)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional but recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • Optional fresh vegetables: thinly sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, or snap peas
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch (about 4 cups). Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  2. Carefully lower 2 large room-temperature eggs into the water using a slotted spoon. Cook for exactly 6 minutes for a perfect soft yolk.
  3. Remove the eggs and immediately plunge them into an ice bath or cold water to stop cooking. Chill for at least 5 minutes before peeling.
  4. Boil the ramen noodles according to package instructions but reduce cooking time by 1 minute to keep them slightly firm (about 2-3 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water.
  5. Toss the noodles lightly with a teaspoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  7. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  8. Add minced garlic and sliced green onions, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  9. If using, add optional vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  10. Add the drained noodles to the skillet. Pour the sauce over and toss quickly but gently to coat every strand.
  11. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through and the sauce is glossy and clings to the noodles.
  12. Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Toss once more and turn off the heat.
  13. Divide the stir-fry between bowls. Peel the soft boiled eggs carefully, slice in half, and nestle them on top.

Notes

Keep an eye on the garlic while stir-frying to avoid burning. Slightly firm noodles provide the best texture. Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick. For gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free noodles. The soft boiled egg yolk adds creaminess and richness.
