  4. 4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. 5. Stir in the soy sauce and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste, adjusting the spice level to your preference.
  6. 6. Divide the cooked ramen noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot, spicy, garlicky broth over the noodles.
  7. 7. Top each bowl with a generous amount of sliced green onions, torn seaweed sheets, and half of a soft-boiled egg.
