Notes
To make soft-boiled eggs, boil them for about 6-7 minutes, then plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. Peel and slice in half before garnishing the ramen.
Feel free to customize your ramen with additional toppings such as mushrooms, corn, or bean sprouts based on your preference.
You can substitute with store-bought rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
