    From the Test Kitchen

    In this summer ramen dish, you'll forgo a hot broth and instead pile cooled fresh noodles with a bevy of seasonal vegetables like sautéed corn and spicy marinated cucumber and carrots. Nutty sesame oil and citrusy ponzu sauce add a bit of savory flavor when drizzled over the noodles—perfectly complementing rich soft-boiled eggs.

    Chilled Vegetable Ramen with Soft-Boiled Eggs & Corn
    Title
    • 2 Pasture-Raised Eggs
    • ½ lb Ramen Noodles
    • 2 ears Of Corn
    • 1 Persian Cucumber
    • 6 oz Carrots
    • 1 Tbsp Vegetarian Ponzu Sauce
    • 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil

    Cook the eggs
    1 Cook the eggs

    Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, carefully add the eggs to the pot and cook 7 minutes for soft-boiled, or until your desired degree of doneness. Leaving the pot of water boiling, using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the cooked eggs to a strainer and rinse under cold water 30 seconds to 1 minute to stop the cooking process. When cool enough to handle, peel the cooked eggs. Season with salt and pepper.

    2 Prepare the ingredients

    Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Remove any husks and silks from the corn; cut the kernels off the cobs. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Peel the carrots and grate on the large side of a box grater. In a bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, grated carrots, vinegar, and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
