Ingredients

  • Napa cabbage - 200 grams
  • Chicken or vegetable broth - 500 ml
  • Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
  • Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Green onions - 2 stalks, sliced
  • Shiitake mushrooms - 100 grams, sliced
  • Soft-boiled eggs - 2
  • Red chili flakes - to taste
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste

Steps

  1. Start by washing the Napa cabbage, then cut it in half lengthwise and slice it into thin strips to resemble noodles.
  2. In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  3. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they soften.
  4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the soy sauce, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Add the sliced cabbage to the broth and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
  7. While the cabbage cooks, prepare the soft-boiled eggs by boiling them for 6-7 minutes, then transferring them to an ice bath before peeling.
  8. To serve, divide the cabbage noodle ramen into bowls, halving the soft-boiled eggs and placing them on top, then garnish with sliced green onions.
