Method Start by boiling the eggs. Place them in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, place the eggs in a bowl of water with ice and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs (to make things easier, roll them on the work surface to break the shell all over), then slice in half. Now make the ramen. Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat until the butter melts. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add the stock, peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, rice wine, sugar and pepper. Stir together and bring to the boil. Add the instant noodles, bring back to the boil, then simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to separate the noodles. Add the strips of beef and cook for 30 seconds to heat through. Use a set of tongs to divide the noodles between bowls. Ladle over the sauce and beef. Top each bowl with two halves of egg. Garnish the ramen with the spring onions, carrot, sesame seeds and chilli flakes.
