Ingredients

• 200 grams ramen noodles
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 2 small heads bok choy
• 1 medium carrots
• 1 cup shiitake mushrooms
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 2 optional lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the carrots, shiitake mushrooms, and bok choy. Chop the green onions and cilantro. Set everything aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the gochujang, soy sauce, and red chili flakes to the pot. Stir for 1 minute to toast the spices slightly.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Add the sliced bok choy, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Let them cook for 3-5 minutes until tender.

Step 6

In a separate small saucepan, boil water and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 7

Gently crack the egg into the simmering soup. Poach for 2-3 minutes until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny, or cook longer for a firmer yolk.

Step 8

Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the spicy broth and vegetables over the noodles.

Step 9

Carefully add the poached egg to each bowl. Garnish with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and an optional squeeze of lime for brightness.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy the fiery heat of this comforting noodle soup!
