Ingredients
- 4 to 5 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 star anise pods
- 1 (3-in) cinnamon stick
- 2 large eggs
- 14 oz. udon noodles
- 4-5 large bok choy leaves, sliced into ribbons
- 2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
- 3-4 tbsp. soy sauce
Directions
- Simmer the broth in a medium saucepan over medium heat. The broth should be 2 inches deep in the pan. Add star anise and cinnamon. Simmer for 5–10 minutes to flavor the broth. Remove the spices with a slotted spoon after cooking.
- One by one, crack eggs into measuring cups and add to simmering broth. Cook for 2 minutes. Add noodles and bok choy. Soak noodles and bok choy without breaking eggs by stirring gently. Cook for 2 more minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still loose. If you like set yolks, cook for another minute.
- Off heat, gently stir in soy sauce and scallions. Feel free to add more soy sauce. Serve the soup in two bowls immediately.
