Steam the eggs by filling a large pot with water so that about an inch of water covers the bottom of the pot. Place the steamer insert inside of the pot and cover.

Next, bring the water to a boil over high heat.

Add the eggs to the basket and cover the pot.

Steam the eggs for 6 minutes for soft boiled or 12 minute for hard.

Rinse them under cold water until cooled, then peel carefully.

In a stovetop smoker over smoldering maple chips, smoke the uncooked ramen and peeled, soft-boiled eggs for 5 minutes and set aside. (Note: I like to smoke a few extra blocks of uncooked noodles for a future date!)

Boil the ramen in the usual way and make soup.

Divide the noodles and broth between 2 bowls. Add a smoked egg on top of each serving and enjoy!
