A quick and comforting noodle dish featuring creamy miso butter sauce, soft boiled eggs, and a spicy chili crisp topping. Perfect for cozy dinners or late-night cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) wheat noodles or ramen noodles
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp white or yellow miso paste
  • 2 large soft boiled eggs
  • 2 tbsp chili crisp
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced (dried scallions can be used)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) water or broth
  • Optional toppings: toasted sesame seeds, nori strips, lime squeeze

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully add 2 large eggs and cook for exactly 6 minutes for a perfect soft boiled egg. Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to halt cooking and make peeling easier. Set aside.
  2. While eggs are boiling, cook 8 oz (225 g) of noodles according to package instructions until just al dente (usually 3-4 minutes for fresh ramen). Drain and rinse briefly with warm water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  3. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  4. Stir in 2 tbsp white or yellow miso paste until smooth.
  5. Pour in ½ cup (120 ml) water or light broth and 1 tbsp soy sauce, stirring constantly. Let the sauce simmer gently for 1-2 minutes to meld flavors and thicken slightly.
  6. Transfer drained noodles to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat every strand in the creamy miso butter sauce. Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over and mix well for added aroma.
  7. Once cooled, gently peel the soft boiled eggs. Slice each in half lengthwise.
  8. Divide noodles between bowls, top with halved eggs, and spoon over 2 tbsp chili crisp. Sprinkle sliced scallions and optional toppings like toasted sesame seeds or nori strips.

Notes

Timing the soft boiled egg precisely at 6 minutes is key for a runny yolk. Use unsalted butter to control saltiness. Add chili crisp last to maintain its crunchy texture. If sauce is too thick, add more water or broth to loosen. Can substitute gluten-free noodles and tamari for soy sauce for gluten-free version. Butter can be swapped with coconut oil or vegan butter for dairy-free.
