# What You Need:
→ Broth
01 - 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarian)
02 - 3 tablespoons white miso paste
03 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
04 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
05 - 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
06 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
07 - 1 tablespoon mirin (optional)
08 - 1 teaspoon chili paste (optional)
→ Noodles
09 - 4 portions fresh or dried ramen noodles (about 8 ounces total)
→ Toppings
10 - 4 large eggs
11 - 2 cups shiitake or cremini mushrooms, sliced
12 - 1 cup baby spinach
13 - 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
14 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
15 - 1 sheet nori, cut into strips
16 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
# How To Make It:
01 - Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle boil. Lower eggs in carefully and simmer for 7 minutes for jammy yolks. Transfer immediately to an ice bath, cool completely, peel and set aside.
02 - Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add grated ginger and minced garlic and sauté 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to brown.
03 - Add sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook 3 to 4 minutes until softened and beginning to color.
04 - Pour in the vegetable broth, add soy sauce and mirin, and bring to a gentle simmer. Maintain a low simmer for 10 minutes to develop flavor.
05 - Spoon a ladleful of the hot broth into a small bowl and whisk in the miso paste until smooth. Stir the miso mixture back into the pot and add chili paste if using; do not boil after adding miso.
06 - Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce, miso, or a pinch of salt as needed.
07 - Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and divide among four bowls.
08 - Ladle the hot miso broth over the noodles, ensuring even distribution of solids and liquid.
09 - Top each bowl with cooked mushrooms, baby spinach, corn, a halved soft-boiled egg, sliced green onions, nori strips and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
10 - Serve immediately while broth and noodles are hot to preserve texture and aroma.
