Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a pot of water to boil. Add eggs and cook 6 minutes until soft-boiled, whites set but yolks still runny.

  2. Step 2

    In the same pot, add beef broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. Step 3

    Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon until no pink remains, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add rice noodles directly to the broth. Stir and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in chili flakes. Taste and adjust soy sauce as needed for depth.

  6. Step 6

    Ladle soup into bowls. Peel soft-boiled eggs and halve them, nestle into each bowl, and serve hot.

Tools you’ll need

  • large pot (3-quart minimum)
