01
Step 1
Start by putting the eggs in a saucepan and covering them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then take the pan off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 2 minutes. While the eggs are cooking, get a bowl of ice water ready. When the eggs are done, move them into the ice bath to cool completely, which should take around 15 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully and set them aside.

Step 2
Next, heat the sesame oil and olive oil together in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger paste and sauté for about a minute, stirring constantly so nothing burns. Pour in the broth, then bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the soy sauce and mirin.

Step 3
Add the mushrooms to the simmering broth and let them cook for 5 minutes. Then toss in the bell peppers, bok choy, and green onions, cooking everything for another minute or so until the veggies are just tender.

Step 4
While the vegetables are cooking, reheat the water you used for the eggs until it’s boiling again. Drop in the ramen noodles and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes until they’re just tender, then drain.

Step 5
To serve, divide the noodles between bowls and ladle the broth and vegetables over them. Top each bowl with one of the peeled eggs and finish with a little kimchi, some chile-garlic sauce, and sliced radish for a bit of extra kick. Enjoy!

How to serve
Serve with a side of steamed dumplings or a crisp seaweed salad to balance the meal. A soft-boiled egg or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds can add texture and richness on top.
