Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g (7 oz) ramen noodles, fresh or dried
  • 3 tablespoons miso paste (white or red)
  • 4 cups (950 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream (or coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 large soft-boiled eggs
  • Optional toppings: nori sheets, bean sprouts, corn kernels, sliced mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Soft-Boil the Eggs: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower 2 large eggs into the water and cook for exactly 7 minutes. Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Peel when cool and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Broth Base: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Avoid browning the garlic.
  3. Add Broth and Miso: Pour in 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons miso paste with ½ cup heavy cream until smooth. Stir this mixture into the simmering broth off the heat or on low to preserve flavor.
  4. Season the Broth: Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Cook the Ramen Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions (3-4 minutes for fresh noodles). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking.
  6. Assemble the Bowl: Divide noodles into serving bowls. Ladle hot miso broth over the noodles. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on top. Garnish with sliced green onions and optional toppings like nori or corn.
  7. Final Touch: Drizzle a little extra sesame oil or chili oil if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not boil miso paste directly to preserve its flavor and probiotics. Use an ice bath immediately after boiling eggs for easy peeling. If broth thickens after resting, stir in a splash of hot water before serving. For vegan version, use vegetable broth, coconut milk, and substitute eggs with marinated tofu cubes.
