  2. 2To the pot, add 2 cups of water (or chicken stock), about a tablespoon of Better Than Bouillon, and about a teaspoon of garlic.

  6. 6Once the water is at a rolling boil, gently add the eggs and boil for 6 minutes.

  8. 8Chop green onion for garnish.
  9. 9Once the broth is boiling, add ramen noodles to the broth.
  10. 10When eggs are done, immediately transfer them to an ice bath for 2 minutes.

  13. 13Turn off the heat and add corn to the broth.
  14. 14Place two slices of white American cheese into a ramen bowl.
  15. 15Add the ramen (noodles, broth, bok choy, corn) on top of the cheese in the bowl.
  16. 16Mix the ramen until all the cheese melts, creating a creamy broth.
  17. 17Top with toasted sesame oil.
  18. 18Add a little chili crunch to the top.
  19. 19Garnish with green onion.
  20. 20Peel the soft-boiled eggs (crack from the wider bottom part) and place them in the ramen bowl.

Tips

  • Use garlic instead of fresh garlic for a milder flavor.
  • Boil eggs for 6 minutes for a soft-boiled egg.
  • Add bok choy and corn at the end of cooking the noodles.
  • Crack soft-boiled eggs from the wider bottom part to release air and make peeling easier.
  • If you don't like too much spice but enjoy chili crunch flavor, use a mild brand.
  • For an alternative to cheese, add a tablespoon or two of Kewpie mayo for a delicious flavor.
