How to Make Colorful Asian Noodle Bowl
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 4-6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled texture. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles with the purple cabbage, cherry tomatoes, and green onions. Drizzle with the sauce mixture and toss gently to combine.
- Peel the soft-boiled eggs and slice them in half. Place the noodle mixture into serving bowls and top each bowl with avocado slices, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a soft-boiled egg half.
- Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top, and serve immediately!
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure not to overcook the eggs; a perfect soft-boiled egg should have a runny yolk.
- Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha according to your taste.
- For added crunch, include some toasted nuts or seeds as a topping.
Easy Variations
- Swap the egg noodles for rice noodles or whole grain options for a different texture.
- Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a protein boost.
- Mix in other veggies like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for extra color and nutrition.
What to Serve With It
- A light cucumber salad for a refreshing side.
- Steamed edamame sprinkled with sea salt.
- Miso soup for a comforting addition.
