1. How do I get jammy eggs just right?

Boil for exactly 6½ minutes, then shock in ice water immediately to stop cooking.

2. Can I use gluten-free noodles?

Yes! Rice noodles or soba work wonderfully with this sauce.

Crispy tofu, grilled chicken, or shrimp, all pair beautifully.

Add chili crisp, Sriracha, or a pinch of crushed red pepper for gentle heat.
