Ingredients
- Ramen Noodles: 2 servings
- Water: 6 cups
- Miso Paste (Red or Awase): 3 tablespoons
- Soy Sauce: 2 tablespoons
- Sriracha or Chili Garlic Sauce: 1-2 teaspoons (adjust to heat preference)
- Ginger: 1 teaspoon, grated
- Garlic: 1 clove, minced
- Sesame Oil: 1 teaspoon
- Chicken or Vegetable Broth: 2 cups
- Soft-Boiled Eggs: 2
- Optional Toppings: Sliced scallions, nori sheets, bamboo shoots
Instructions
- Prepare the soft-boiled eggs: Bring water to a boil. Gently lower eggs into the water. Boil for exactly 6.5 minutes. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking. Peel when cool.
- In a small bowl, mix the miso paste, soy sauce, sriracha, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil until a smooth paste forms. This is your tare (flavor base).
- In a medium pot, bring the 6 cups of water and the 2 cups of broth to a simmer.
- Remove about 1/2 cup of the hot broth and whisk it into the tare mixture until fully dissolved and smooth.
- Pour the thinned tare mixture back into the simmering broth in the pot. Stir well to combine. Keep this broth base warm over low heat; do not boil vigorously once the miso is added.
- Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions in a separate pot of boiling water. Drain well.
- Divide the cooked noodles between two serving bowls.
- Ladle the hot spicy miso broth over the noodles.
- Slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and place one half on top of each bowl.
- Add your desired toppings like scallions and nori. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, use quality dashi stock instead of plain water for the base.
- You can marinate the peeled soft-boiled eggs in soy sauce and mirin for an hour before serving for Ajitama style eggs.
- Adjust the amount of chili sauce to control the spice level for your taste.
