Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring broth to a boil in a pot. Add soy sauce and mirin, stir to combine.

  2. Step 2

    Add noodles to boiling broth and cook until tender, ~3 minutes for fresh ramen, ~4 for instant.

  3. Step 3

    While noodles cook, pan-fry spam strips in a skillet over medium-high until edges are crispy and caramelized, ~3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Boil eggs in the same pot (or a second pot) for 6–7 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still soft.

  5. Step 5

    Divide noodle broth between two bowls. Top each with crispy spam, a halved soft-boiled egg, and white parts of green onion.

  6. Step 6

    Scatter green parts of onion and a few crunchy fried noodles (crush a small handful of reserved noodles) over top. Serve hot.
