Ramen noodles are a versatile and comforting dish that can be transformed with various flavours. In this recipe, we elevate the humble noodle with a creamy peanut sauce and perfectly soft-boiled eggs. The combination of savoury, creamy, and spicy elements creates a symphony of flavours that is both satisfying and memorable. This dish is easy to prepare and perfect for a quick, nourishing meal.

Instructions

Prepare the eggs

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water and boil for 6 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to chill.

Pro tip: Chilling the eggs quickly stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.

Cook the ramen noodles

In another pot, bring water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Pro tip: Do not overcook the noodles; they should be al dente.

Make the peanut sauce

In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sriracha, and warm water until smooth and creamy.

Pro tip: Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more water if needed.

Peel the eggs

Once the eggs are cool, gently peel them under running water.

Assemble the dish

Divide the noodles among four bowls. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles.

Pro tip: Toss the noodles gently to coat them evenly with the sauce.

Serve

Cut each soft-boiled egg in half and place on top of the noodles. Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Pro tip: Add extra sriracha for a spicier kick.
