Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 packs fresh ramen noodles (about 7–8 oz total)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon miso paste (white or red)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, grated
- 2 soft-boiled eggs
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or enoki)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 sheet nori (seaweed), cut into strips
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add fresh ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes). Drain immediately and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- Prepare toppings: Slice mushrooms thinly; chop green onions diagonally; peel soft-boiled eggs and cut in half; cut nori into strips.
- In a separate medium-sized pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Pour in chicken or vegetable broth and soy sauce. Whisk in miso paste until fully dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer and let the flavors meld for 5 minutes.
- Divide cooked noodles evenly between two bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles.
- Arrange prepared toppings over the noodles and broth: soft-boiled egg halves, sliced mushrooms, chopped green onions, and nori strips.
- Serve immediately, allowing diners to mix toppings into the broth as desired.
Notes
- For added protein, consider including slices of cooked chicken, pork, or tofu.
- Customize your ramen with additional toppings like corn kernels, bamboo shoots, or bean sprouts.
- Adjust the saltiness by varying the amount of soy sauce to suit your taste.
- For a spicier broth, add a dash of chili oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
