Instructions
- Begin by soft-boiling the eggs. Place them in a pot of boiling water for 6-7 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel and set aside.
- Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to break down and release their juices.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender in batches. Season with soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Divide the cooked ramen noodles into bowls. Ladle the tomato broth over the noodles.
- Top each bowl with sliced green onions, bean sprouts, and halved soft-boiled eggs.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delightful Tomato Ramen!
