Add ramen noodle cakes into the IP and place cover on the pot. The noodles should cook in the steam in just a few minutes. As soon as the noodles are soft, remove them from the pot and use your yellow container or a 1/2 measuring cup to portion out into four bowls. Next add the greens and the carrots to the pot.

You can also use an egg pricker to make a very small hole in each egg before boiling, which will also reduce the chances of it cracking in the heat.

What is the difference between hard boiled and soft-boiled eggs? ›

Boiled eggs are those that are cooked by immersing them in boiling water. Soft-boiled eggs are boiled only until the white is cooked but the yolk remains runny. Hard-boiled eggs are cooked longer until both the white and the yolk are fully cooked.
