Add 400g of ramen noodles and cook for 7-10 minutes or until they are the desired firmness. Once the noodles are cooked, add 2 cups of spinach and stir until wilted.
In a small saucepan, add 4 eggs and enough water to cover the eggs. Bring the water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, cover and remove from heat for 6 minutes.

Let the eggs sit in the ice water for 5 minutes and then peel.
