Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cups (32 fl oz) chicken or vegetable broth, preferably low sodium
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 servings ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • Handful bean sprouts or baby spinach
  • Chili flakes or togarashi (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soft-Boil the Eggs (10 minutes): Place eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for exactly 6 minutes for a runny yolk. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking.
  2. Peel and Crisp the Eggs (5 minutes): Once cool, peel eggs carefully. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and cook, rolling gently to brown all sides for crispy edges.
  3. Prepare the Broth (15 minutes): In a medium pot, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger; sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Pour in chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add Miso and Seasonings: Whisk miso paste with a ladle of hot broth until smooth, then stir back into the pot. Add soy sauce and sesame oil. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, avoiding boiling to preserve miso flavor. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Cook the Noodles and Veggies (5 minutes): Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions (3-4 minutes). Drain and rinse briefly under warm water. Add shiitake mushrooms or spinach to the broth in the last 2 minutes to soften.
  6. Assemble the Bowl: Divide noodles into bowls. Ladle the creamy miso butter broth with mushrooms and greens over noodles. Top each bowl with two crispy soft-boiled eggs and sprinkle with sliced green onions and chili flakes if desired.

Notes

When whisking miso into broth, dissolve it first in a ladle of hot broth to avoid clumps. Avoid boiling broth after adding miso to prevent bitterness. Use medium heat to crisp eggs and roll gently for even browning. Rinse noodles after cooking to stop cooking process and prevent sogginess. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive or coconut oil. For gluten-free, use gluten-free or rice noodles.
