Sesame Instant Ramen Noodles with Broccoli & Soft-Boiled Egg
- Replies 0
With a few simple additions—like broccoli, sesame oil, and a soft-boiled egg—you can put a healthy twist on instant noodles and turn this pantry staple into a warm and satisfying meal in under 10 minutes.
Ingredients:
Soft-Boiling Eggs: Place an egg in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a gentle simmer, then turn off the heat and let it sit for 2–3 minutes. Cool slightly before peeling for soft, jammy yolks.
Watch the Sodium: Most instant noodles come with a full seasoning packet, but using only half still gives plenty of flavor while helping reduce salt intake.
