Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil.
  2. Place eggs in a small pot and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for about 3 minutes (for soft-boiled) and 5-6 minutes (for hard-boiled). Drain and cool eggs under cold tap. Peel shells off eggs under cold running water, slice in half and set aside.
  3. While eggs cook, toss corn, first measure of onion, sesame oil and corn spice mix on prepared tray. Roast for about 10 minutes, until golden. Cut broccoli into small florets.
  4. Add veggie ramen paste and chilli flakes/powder (if using) to a medium pot on medium heat and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add stock and water, bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Add broccoli and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until bright green and tender.
  5. While broccoli is cooking, add noodles to pot of boiling water and cook for about 2 minutes, until just tender. Drain and return to pot with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Combine all pickled ginger salad ingredients in a medium bowl and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. divide ramen noodles between bowls and top with ramen broth, spiced corn, boiled egg halves and pickled ginger salad.
