Instructions
1
Get the broth ready
Pour the broth into a large pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and a splash of soy sauce. Let it cook for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld together.
2
Cook the noodles
While the broth simmers, cook the noodles according to package directions—usually 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well and divide between two bowls.
3
Prepare the eggs
Soft-boil the eggs: place them in boiling water for exactly 6-7 minutes, then transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Peel and slice in half.
4
Assemble and serve
Pour the hot broth over the noodles in each bowl. Arrange the soft-boiled eggs on top, sprinkle with fresh green onions, drizzle with sesame oil, and add a tiny pinch of white pepper. Serve immediately while piping hot.
