Ingredient List:- 2 eggs- 1 packet instant ramen
Cooking Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water so that it covers about an inch of the base. Place a steamer insert inside and cover the pot.
- Heat the water until it starts boiling over high heat.
- Pop your eggs into the steamer basket, cover the pot once more, and let them steam for about 6 minutes for a soft-boiled yolk or 12 minutes for a hard-boiled one. Chill them off with cold water when they're ready. Carefully peel off those delicate shells.
- Fire up your stovetop smoker with some maple chips. Toss in your uncooked ramen and soft-boiled eggs for a five-minute smoke session. (Pro tip: Smoke a few extra ramen blocks for later fun times!)
- Follow the directions on your instant ramen packet, and make the soup. Divide the noodles and the liquid gold between two bowls, and plonk a smoky egg on top of each serving like a little gold nugget.
