Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chicken broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
  • 2 cups unsweetened soy milk (can substitute with oat or almond milk)
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 200g fresh ramen noodles (about 7 oz, or substitute with dried noodles)
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs (marinated in soy sauce if desired)
  • 100g sliced shiitake mushrooms (about 3.5 oz)
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Nori sheets, cut into strips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine chicken broth, soy milk, minced garlic, sliced ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Strain the Broth: Use a fine mesh strainer to remove ginger slices and garlic bits. Return the strained broth to the pot and stir in the white miso paste until fully dissolved. Keep heat low to avoid curdling.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add fresh ramen noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  4. Prepare the Toppings: Soft-boil eggs by boiling for 6-7 minutes, then plunge into ice water and peel. Optionally marinate in soy sauce for 10 minutes. Sauté sliced shiitake mushrooms in a small pan with a teaspoon of sesame oil until tender, about 4 minutes.
  5. Assemble the Ramen Bowls: Divide cooked noodles between two large bowls. Ladle hot creamy broth over noodles. Arrange sautéed mushrooms, spinach leaves, and halved soft-boiled eggs on top. Garnish with sliced green onions and nori strips if using.
  6. Serve Immediately: Serve hot and enjoy the creamy broth soaking into the noodles with fresh greens and tender eggs.

Notes

Keep broth at a gentle simmer to prevent soy milk from curdling. Marinate soft-boiled eggs in soy sauce overnight for extra flavor and color. Rinse noodles under cold water after cooking to keep them springy. Store broth and noodles separately to avoid sogginess. Reheat broth gently on stove, avoid microwaving whole bowl.
