Method
- Fill a small pot with water and bring to a boil. Gently place eggs into the water and boil for 7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Remove eggs and place them in ice water to stop the cooking. Peel when cool.
- In a medium pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the broth, soy sauce, and miso paste. Stir well to dissolve the miso. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add mushrooms and carrots to the broth. Simmer for 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season shrimp with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat, add shrimp, and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
- Add ramen noodles to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes, until just tender.
- Stir in baby spinach until wilted, about 30 seconds.
- Add sesame oil to the broth and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or pepper if needed.
- Divide noodles into two bowls, ladle over the broth with vegetables, and top each bowl with cooked shrimp.
- Slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and place one in each bowl. Garnish with spring onions and optional toppings like chili flakes, nori, or a squeeze of lime.
Notes
You can substitute shrimp with chicken, tofu, or extra veggies if desired. For a spicy kick, add chili paste or sriracha to the broth. Customize your veggies depending on what you have at hand.
