Time

2 hours

Servings

4 people

Ingredients

1 pack instant noodles
300ml chicken stock
12 Eggs

The Marinade

3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 spring onions, roughly chopped
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
1 Korean Green chilli chopped
½ Red chili chopped
1 tsp of salt
1 tbsp Japanese rice vinegar
½ tbsp of Sesame Seeds
150ml light soy sauce
100ml dark soy sauce
100ml water
3 tbsp honey
½ tsp sesame oil

Method

Preparation

Boil the eggs until medium/ soft. Using this takes 6 minutes of simmering. When the eggs are ready, remove and let them rest in a bowl of ice water for at least 10 minutes. Then crack the egg shells carefully, being careful not to peel them, but rather to create little cracks all over the shells. Set them aside.

Cooking

Add the marinade ingredients to a plastic bag and mix well. Add in the eggs, making sure the eggs are covered in the marinade (top with water if needed). Let the eggs rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours or better overnight.

Boil the instant noodles in chicken stock, and serve in bowls topped with two eggs per bowl and a generous helping of the marinade.
