Sesame Instant Ramen Noodles with Broccoli & Soft Boiled Egg

Jazz up basic ramen noodles with toasted sesame oil, quick-cooked broccoli and a jammy soft-boiled egg. To cut back on sodium, look for ramen varieties with less than 600 mg sodium per serving or use less of the seasoning packet.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup frozen broccoli
  • 1 (3 ounce) package ramen-noodle soup mix
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 large soft-boiled egg, halved (see tip)

Directions

  1. Bring water to boil in a medium saucepan. Add broccoli; cook for 2 minutes. Add noodles (reserve the seasoning packet); cook until the noodles are tender, about 3 minutes more. Drain the broccoli and noodles and return to the pan.
  2. Add sesame oil, sesame seeds and half of the seasoning packet (discard the remainder or reserve for another use); toss well to combine. Transfer to a bowl; top with egg and serve.
