Ingredients
- ½ head of broccoli, broken into florets
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, plus extra to serve
- 2 eggs
- 200g ramen or dried egg noodles
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 2 radishes, thinly sliced

- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp brown miso
- Pinch of chilli flakes
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1-2 limes, juiced (to taste)

Instructions
- Step 1: Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan/gas mark 8). Toss the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt. Spread evenly on a baking tray and roast for 15-20 minutes until the broccoli is charred and tender.
- Step 2: Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 6 minutes 30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place in ice water to cool for 3 minutes before peeling.
- Step 3: In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons sesame oil, brown miso, chilli flakes, brown sugar, lime juice, and crushed garlic to make the dressing. Adjust lime juice to your taste.
- Step 4: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, then drain well. Toss the warm noodles with the miso-sesame dressing until evenly coated.
- Step 5: Divide the dressed noodles between two bowls. Top each bowl with halved eggs, roasted broccoli, sliced spring onions, and radishes. Finish with extra sesame seeds and a drizzle of crispy chilli oil, if using.
Tips & Variations
- For extra protein, add grilled chicken or tofu to the bowl.
- Substitute the broccoli with roasted cauliflower or asparagus for a different flavor.
- If you prefer a softer yolk, reduce egg cooking time by 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Adjust the chilli flakes or chilli oil to control the spice level.
Storage
Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the noodles and broccoli gently in a microwave or on the stove. Add fresh lime juice and dressing again to revive the flavors before serving. Eggs are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored peeled in the fridge for one day.

Instructions
- Prepare and Roast Broccoli: Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan)/Gas mark 8. Toss the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt. Spread the broccoli evenly on a baking tray and roast for 15-20 minutes until the broccoli is charred and tender.
