🌶️ Spicy Noodles with Kielbasa, Shrimp & Soft-Boiled Egg
Ingredients (serves 2)
Noodles & Broth
- 200 g (7 oz) noodles (ramen, egg noodles, or rice noodles)
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, minced

Protein & Toppings

- Garnishes: green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, chili flakes
Oil
- 1–2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
Instructions
1️⃣ Soft-boil eggs
- Bring water to a gentle boil.
- Carefully add eggs and cook 6–7 minutes for slightly runny yolks.
- Transfer eggs to ice water to stop cooking. Peel and set aside.
2️⃣ Cook noodles
- Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3️⃣ Sear proteins
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear kielbasa slices until lightly browned (2–3 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sear shrimp until pink and opaque (~2 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
4️⃣ Prepare spicy broth
- In a pot, heat a small drizzle of oil over medium heat.
- Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add chicken/vegetable broth, soy sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, and optional rice vinegar/lime. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add vegetables and cook 2–3 minutes until just tender.
5️⃣ Assemble bowls
- Divide noodles between bowls.
- Pour hot broth and vegetables over noodles.
- Top with seared kielbasa, shrimp, and halved soft-boiled egg.
- Garnish with green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and extra chili flakes if desired.
Pro Tips
- Egg hack: make a small slit in the wider end before boiling to prevent cracking.
- Noodle texture: cook noodles separately and add to broth at the last minute to prevent sogginess.
- Spice level: adjust chili paste or drizzle with sriracha at serving.
- Protein timing: sear kielbasa and shrimp last minute to keep them juicy and flavorful.
🔥 Variations
- 🥬 Add bok choy, snap peas, or mushrooms for extra veggies
- 🌶️ Spicy peanut broth version: add 1–2 tbsp peanut butter to broth for richness
- 🧄 Garlic butter shrimp & kielbasa twist for deeper flavor
- 🍋 Zest of lime or lemon for a fresh kick
I can also give a “one-pan, ultra-spicy version” where noodles, shrimp, and kielbasa cook together for max flavor infusion 😏.
Do you want me to do that?
