• Ramen noodles — Be sure to cook the noodles according to the package instructions to ensure they are cooked to perfection.
• Shiitake mushrooms — Slice the mushrooms thinly to ensure they cook evenly and add a rich, savory flavor to the broth.
• Bok choy — Chop the bok choy into bite-sized pieces to make it easier to eat and ensure it cooks evenly.
• Soft boiled eggs — Cook the eggs for 6-7 minutes to ensure the yolks are still runny.

Tips & Tricks

• For a vegan version, omit the soft boiled eggs or substitute with a vegan egg alternative.
• Customize the toppings to your liking by adding sliced tofu, corn, or sliced jalapenos.
• Use low-sodium vegetable broth to reduce the overall sodium content of the dish.
• To make the dish spicier, add more chili oil or red pepper flakes.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
