The Method

1
In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Gently lower the egg into the boiling water and cook for 6-7 minutes for a perfectly soft-boiled egg. Immediately transfer the egg to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
2
While the egg is cooking, gently reheat the leftover pho broth on the stovetop until simmering. Be careful not to boil vigorously.
3
If the leftover noodles are clumped together, you can gently warm them in the broth or rinse them under hot water to loosen them.
4
Peel the soft-boiled egg carefully. It should be runny in the center.
5
Place the noodles in a bowl, then ladle the hot pho broth over the noodles.
6
Top with the soft-boiled egg, fresh bean sprouts, and chopped fresh herbs.
7
Add sriracha and hoisin sauce to taste, if desired. Serve with a lime wedge for squeezing, if desired.

Chef's Tips

For a jammy yolk, cook the egg for 7 minutes. For a runnier yolk, cook for 6 minutes.

If you don't have leftover noodles, you can quickly cook fresh rice noodles according to package directions.

Customize the toppings to your liking. Sliced scallions, jalapenos, or a squeeze of lime juice are all great additions.
