What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 pack instant ramen noodles
- 1.5 tbsp chili crisp oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onions sliced
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Soft-Boil the Egg
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the egg in and cook for exactly 6 minutes for a jammy yolk. Transfer to an ice bath and peel when cool enough to handle.
Step 2: Cook the Noodles
Cook ramen noodles in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes according to package directions. Drain most of the water leaving a quarter cup in the pot.
Step 3: Season the Noodles
Add soy sauce and chili crisp oil directly to the noodles and toss well to coat every strand with the spicy aromatic oil.
Step 4: Top and Serve
Transfer noodles to a bowl, halve the soft-boiled egg and place on top. Scatter green onions and an extra drizzle of chili crisp over everything.
Easy substitutions

- chili crisp oil → sriracha mixed with a little sesame oil
- instant ramen noodles → fresh ramen noodles or udon noodles
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Overcooking the egg past 6 minutes which eliminates the jammy runny yolk center
- Adding too much chili crisp without tasting first which can make the dish uncomfortably spicy
