Ingredients

  1. Ramen noodles
  2. Kimchi
  3. Vegetable broth
  4. Green onions
  5. Soft boiled eggs
  6. Sesame oil
  7. Garlic

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves, setting them aside for later use.
  2. Pour the vegetable broth into a medium-sized pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat.
  3. Add minced garlic to the simmering broth and let it infuse for 2-3 minutes, releasing its aromatic flavors.
  4. Chop the kimchi into smaller pieces, reserving some of the kimchi juice for extra flavor.
  5. Add the chopped kimchi and its reserved juice to the simmering broth, stirring to distribute evenly.
  6. Carefully add the ramen noodles to the pot, ensuring they are fully submerged in the broth.
  7. Cook the noodles according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight bite.
  8. While noodles are cooking, prepare soft boiled eggs by gently lowering them into boiling water for 6-7 minutes, then immediately transferring to an ice bath.
  9. Once noodles are cooked, drizzle sesame oil over the soup for an additional layer of flavor.
  10. Carefully ladle the ramen into serving bowls, ensuring an even distribution of noodles and broth.
  11. Peel and halve the soft boiled eggs and place them on top of each ramen bowl.
  12. Garnish with the chopped green onions and serve immediately while hot.

Tips

  1. Choose Quality Kimchi: The flavor of your kimchi will greatly influence the soup. Opt for a well-fermented, flavorful kimchi for the best results.
  2. Customize Your Broth: For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a dash of chili oil to the vegetable broth.
  3. Don’t Overcook the Noodles: Ramen noodles should be cooked just until tender. Remember, they will continue to soften in the hot broth, so aim for a slight bite.
  4. Experiment with Toppings: While soft boiled eggs and green onions are classic, feel free to add other toppings like sliced mushrooms, seaweed, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
  5. Make It Spicy: If you enjoy heat, add some gochujang (Korean chili paste) or chili flakes to the broth for an extra kick that complements the kimchi beautifully.
