Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon miso paste (optional)
- 8 ounces ramen noodles (fresh or instant)
- 2 soft-boiled eggs
- Sliced green onions
- Shredded carrots
- Baby spinach
- Sesame seeds
- Optional: cooked protein like chicken, tofu, or shrimp
Instructions
- Start by preparing the broth. In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and miso paste (if using). Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- While the broth is simmering, boil your eggs. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, carefully lower the eggs into the water, and cook for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process, then peel and set aside.
- Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare your toppings. Slice the green onions, shred the carrots, and rinse the baby spinach. If you’re adding protein, make sure it’s cooked and ready to go.
- Assemble your ramen bowls. Divide the cooked noodles between bowls, ladle the hot broth over them, and arrange your toppings on top. Add the soft-boiled egg halves and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Don’t forget to grab your chopsticks and savor every slurp.
