Soup Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic, crushed/minced/grated
- 1 stalk green onion, diced/minced (white and green parts separated)
- 1 tbsp gochujang
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1.5 cups chicken, beef, or vegetable broth
Other Ingredients
- 1 serving noodles (such as ramen or udon)
- 1 hard boiled or jammy egg
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp chili oil
Instructions
- Prepare Aromatics: In a pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat, then add the crushed garlic and the white parts of the green onion. Sauté briefly until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Make Broth: Add gochujang, sugar, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and rice vinegar to the pot. Stir well to combine and dissolve the gochujang paste evenly.
- Add Broth Liquid: Pour in 1.5 cups of your choice of chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Cook Noodles: Add the noodles directly to the simmering broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually 3 to 5 minutes until tender.
- Prepare Toppings: While noodles cook, prepare a hard boiled or jammy egg by boiling it to your preferred doneness and slice in half.
- Assemble Soup: Once noodles are cooked, ladle the soup into a bowl. Top with the green parts of the diced green onion, half of the boiled egg, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and drizzle some chili oil for extra heat.
- Serve: Serve hot, enjoying the spicy and savory flavors immediately for the best experience.
Notes
- You can adjust the spiciness by adding more or less gochujang and chili oil to taste.
- Use any noodles you prefer: ramen, udon, or even instant noodles work well.
- Substitute oyster sauce with soy sauce for a vegetarian variant, but omit if strictly vegan.
- For a richer broth, add a splash of toasted sesame oil before serving.
- Soft boiled eggs add a creamy texture that balances the soup’s spiciness.
