Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add 4 large eggs and boil for exactly 7 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, toss 12 oz fresh ramen noodles with 1 tbsp vegetable oil and place on a hot grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill noodles for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly charred and crispy edges form, then remove and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Grill 1 medium sliced zucchini and 1 cup halved shiitake mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
  4. Step 4: In a large pot, heat 2 tbsp sesame oil over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp grated ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 4 cups chicken broth, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp gochujang, and 1 tsp sugar. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  5. Step 5: Divide grilled noodles and vegetables among 4 bowls. Ladle hot spicy sesame broth over the noodles. Halve the peeled soft-boiled eggs and arrange on top.
