Saimin is a popular Hawaiian dish that has vibes reminiscent of ramen, not surprising given the Japanese influence on food and culture in Hawaii. The quick, yet flavorful broth sets the stage for this comforting soup.

Ingredients

8 cups water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
½ (12 ounce) package dried soba noodles (Japanese buckwheat noodles)
1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup chopped fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM(R))
½ cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 large eggs

Steps:

Bring water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, add soba noodles, stirring occasionally, until firm yet tender to the bite, 3 minutes. Drain and rinse until warm water. Set aside.
Bring stock and ginger to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in luncheon meat, green onions, and soy sauce; cook, stirring once, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, fill a pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Add eggs; cover and let boil for 6 minutes. Remove eggs immediately to an ice bath to cool. Halve lengthwise.
Divide soba noodles among 4 bowls; spoon broth and toppings over noodles. Top with soft-cooked eggs and serve immediately.
